No Cussing Club?

Okay you know I am going to have a lot to say about this...

So, last night on Modern Family, a two year old drops the f-bomb like 7 times. I have to admit that I find this hilarious... mostly because it has happened to me before. Well, there is some club called the "No Cussing Club" which is now protesting the episode. Really?

Honestly, I think that people have way too much time on their hands when they feel the need to protest things on television. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Plain and simple. You do not have the right to protest something this ridiculous... there are children in this country that are dealing with some real issues like poverty, abuse, abandonment... etc. Taking a stand against swear words seems rather petty to me.

Those of you that know me understand that I have a big mouth... and usually this mouth is filled with some colorful words. I rarely edit myself, even in front of my children. Yes, I agree that this is not the best idea but... it happens anyway. I suppose it happens because I know that Bryan and I are great parents and our children have been taught the difference between right and wrong. I am not going to lie, there will be slip-ups but those are so few and far between, it is a non-issue.

Yes, 2 days ago, while at a friends house, Zoe told Quentin to stop being a pussy. To be fair though, that is probably because he was, in fact, being a pussy. I am not proud that she used that word. Yes, I find it hilarious... but we did have a discussion. I asked her if she knew what that word meant. She gave me her definition (which was WAY off) and I explained what it meant and how it could hurt someone's feelings. She now understands it is not a nice thing to say to people (despite the fact that mommy says it.. a lot) and I am confident that she will not say it (unless Quentin decides to be a pussy again) to anyone else.

No, I am not going for parent of the year here. However, I KNOW that I am a good parent. I KNOW that every single day my children know that they are loved, they feel safe and they are confident, respectful, good children. Really, what more could you ask for? I am not going to stop swearing in front of my children because that is not me... that is not who I am.
