Do you realise it doesn't matter anymore? They will hear it and say it regardless. If not now then tomorrow, next month, next year, when they grow up, etc. It really does not make the slightest bit of difference whether they hear swearing or not anymore. We're not living in the 19th Century.

Parents should be protecting children from the real dangers in life, not four letter words.

Because that's all it is, really. A four letter word. It's not important. No word is. They're just...words.

What difference does it make whether it's day or night?

People swear in real life during the day, people swear in real life during the night...what's the difference?
