It's the parents and the environment they're in. "Parents" today want to be friends with their kids instead of parents. Couple that with a lax school environment in which the teachers don't care and/or don't have the power to do anything about disrespect (because everyone is sue happy) and the other kids being bad influences on others, you're going to get that type of language and lack of respect for each other. The OP should stand up, make him/herself the alpha dog (so to say) of the house, and be a parent. Instill some pride and standards in your kids.

Ow thats sad man im eleven and i admit that i scream at people like that but us eleven year olds are eveil but damg a 7 and 8 year old ow good luck

i would blame their friends, thats what made me so, well uh crazy..

In no way should schools be blamed for it all. Every school I know will not allow that type of language. And they sure didn't learn it off of sesame street. What kind of a parent are you that you would teach your kids that?! Kids learn from example, and you are obviously to blame. You disgust me, and I think you should have your kids taken away from you,as they will obviously end up in jail in the near future. In fact if you don't eat them and wash their mouths out, and if I knew who you were, I'd call child services on you. How young are you? Obviously far too young to have kids!

YDI because they most likely either heard such exchanges from you and their father or from something you let them watch.

Phoenix- I agree! I'm against abuse and all, but srsly. A good spanking every now and again is needed. When I was a toddler and said something bad, I got spanked and now, I watch what I say. Kids get NO DISCIPLINE. At school, they could claim discrimination or racism or something. It's ridiculous.

Oh, and don't be afraid to physically punish your kids. The law allows you to discipline them as long as the force used is reasonable. If they threaten to call Child Protective Services, let them.

haha! now that is funny. Although it's sad at the same time...

Gee, wonder where they heard that? Nice parenting...YDI.

I agree with an earlier commenter. There is no way they are learning this at school. They may learn words but they don't learn to use them in the context mentioned here. My 2 kids plus my niece and nephew are all within 2 years of each other. My wife and I have never talked like that in front of our kids and we've never even overheard them talking like this. My niece and nephew are exposed to language like this every day from their parents and have been suspended from school several times. You need to look in your own house and place the blame accordingly.
