Question Posted Saturday January 27 2007, 11:55 pm
when you dont cuss [unless youre seriously pissed] and you come from a family that doesnt cuss [if they do its hardly ever, and only the words damn and hell, honestly], would it be rude to ask your boyfriend if he can ask his family to tone down the cussing. these people seriously say everything in the book, quite rudely, and its WAY WAY WAY often. like every other sentence no lie. my boyfriend tries to keep it down around me, but his mom and step dad are the worst, and it intimidates me to be around them when theyre like that. should i just live with it? my mom would flip if she knew i was being exposed to a family like that, but i go to see him not them, but it makes me rather uncomforatble to hear "older mature civilized adults" use such vulgarity and talk about people the way they do. agh. 16 female.

But as someone who is afflicted with this particular habit myself I probably wouldn't do it if asked, especially in my own home. I like to think that language is an art and the words are what color the picture and sometimes harsh colors provide the desired effect. This is probably something you have to live with just don't pick up the habit yourself, your much better off being polite. [ rick505's advice column | Ask rick505 A Question ]
