Will/are your kids be around "foul language"?
I'm so torn on this topic. I'm going to be more established in the tattoo industry when my kid is older, & hopefully have more future children. They are going to inevitably be around certain words, songs, and imagery that they need to learn has certain power to them, and not everyone is comfortable/accepting of it like we are.
While driving today (anxious driver when I SEE someone texting and going halfway into my lane) I dropped the f-bomb, then had a moment and said "oh fuck I said fuck" (🤦🏼♀️) in front of my friend's 2 year old. My friend said "it's okay she's probably heard worse in the music I listen to".
I will teach them that there ARE, no questions asked, certain words they will NEVER be allowed to say forever, but as for the other words, do you think there should be a rule like "the adults get to say it, but you can't until a certain age"? Would that even be possible to control?
If you allow it, how do you make sure they don't repeat these words in inappropriate situations? It's hard to believe my little babe IS going to be his own individual thinking person quicker than I expect him to be 😭. so I wanna be prepared on how to handle this.
& any opinion about this topic is welcome. I'm still kinda in shock how relaxed other parents are (& admittedly how much it's in my every day vocab) considering my parents were open about other things but were absolutely against tapes/cds with that parent advisory label 🙄😒. Maybe I'm over thinking it. Like I want him desensitized to it but still recognize the power words hold, too.
