I'm usually the piotisve one on the comment boards but really? are they THAT perfect???? come on. What parents need to hear is how other people (celebrities or not) are imperfect to stop the pressure cooker that so many women are under to be the perfect parent. We all want to be the best parents possible. Do I curse in front of my children? I try not to but occasionally it just comes out. My children know that there are adult words that they are just not allowed to use. Its great to lead by example but its also great to lead by teaching them to be better than we are. I am not perfect and my children know that, neither do I expect perfection from them. I'm not saying Heidi and Seal expect perfection from their kids but really? you have 4 very small children and you are always on the top of your game???? I don't buy it.
I worked reatil for 8 years. One day while helping 2 customers, we heard a father shout VERY loudly to his toddler Shut the f up and sit down NOW!' Both of the customers and I looked up at each other shocked. He was a toddler who didn't want to sit still any more and rather than leave and finish their shopping later, dad decided cursing and yelling at him was the answer.Needless to say, I don't generally agree with cursing. If you do it too much at what some people deep appropriate times, you can then start doing it at inappropriate times without even thinking. (I do it every now and again. Not meaning to, it just slips out. So I am an offender just like pretty much anyone else. But I try my best not to whenever possible.) I'm also with the view that not cursing is good manners.
