Last night Jim had to go to Fedex Kinko's for work so we all went out as a family and decided to go to Citadel Mall and get the girls Dairy Queen (that was the closest DQ to the Fedex we went too). So we park and start to get the girls out and about 6 teenage boys are walking by shouting profanities! They were not talking they were shouting. And it was not just a few bad words it was the "F" word about a million times. I wanted to just get back into the car and go home! I have been trying so hard to keep my girls from words like that as much as possible, I have gone as far as telling a neighbor to get out of our yard for using those types of words around the girls. I know they are going to hear them but I am trying to limit in hopes that I will never hear it out of their mouths. The girls didn't ask any questions about the kids but that was a moment that I cannot take away from them. I keep Elizabeth's attention so that she would not pay attention to them and I think Jim did the same for Allison. What can I do when in a situation like that? I thought about saying something to the kids but with some things that have recently happened at the Citadel Mall I would not want to put myself or my family in danger of having someone that the situation too far.
I hope that I was never that why when I was young. Granted I have never been a curser but I hope that I was never that disrespectful.
It is amazing what you realize now that you have kids.
