Funnily enough my 6 year old boy isn't allowed to watch film or tv with those words in.
I agree on the school part but he is taught that this is not acceptable by me. If I say let's go to the footy and he hears it then that is different. He's not been taken yet and I do expect swearing there, but perhaps not to that extent and cheered.
Anyway - I am on Mark's side, I was after a view as I said!
His Mam and Dad are OK with me taking him - he has a season ticket (yes , they're free) so is a regular. I know he's heard "bad" language at school because he's come out with it , quite innocently, at home. The difference is knowing , as you said , what the words mean and when (if there is a perfect time) and where to use them (without getting beaten up and/or arrested). I will continue to take him to games as I did with my own children (now 25 and 29) I will not be driven into the "Family areas" as I believe they are dull , soul destroying places. My daughter did suggest a silent sit-down protest - that way , at a predetermined time in a game chosen for effect , we , those standing all simply sit down and don't say a word , you could even gkare at the board of idiots ..........then we all get back up after say 2minutes and carry on as normal ?
Just an idea...........
