OT Curry scolded by his mom for profane outburst

[Lanny]

I don't have a link but I read a study that children who have parents cuss around them turn out more intelligent.

It's proven science.

I never cussed until high school. I also learned from other construction workers how to cuss. My father was first a brick layer and later a home builder. Then there was the army. Of course I learned new swear words there. Let's not forget college where even more swear words were learned. Yep, an awful lot of people swear a lot but I never swear in front of children.

 

[Lanny]

For the record when googling this you find a few small studies that psychiatrists suggest swearing helps with language skills and expressing emotions, and a lot of the studies were of college kids and seem to assume a lot of things. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but I think it’s a ways away from a proven science.


Anyways parent you kids the way you think is best in 20 years they’ll tell you, you did it all wrong anyways.

LOL

 

[Lanny]

I wouldn’t say it and I’m an adult.
However if he wants to say it that is his choice I guess, and if you want to teach your kid to say it that’s also your choice.

I personally won’t be teaching my kids to speak that way, but hey they’ll figure it out without my help. How they choose to talk will ultimately be their choice.

Exactly right.

 

[Mediocre Man]

He will always be his mom's child. His mom did the right thing and he did right by apologizing, at least according to the way I was raised.

You've never had your mouth washed with soap?

My parent's are both deceased but I never swore in front of them. I guess it's from old habit.

This. It's not so much about the swearing as it is about the respect.

My parents don’t scold me, but they still parent me and I think as long as we’re all alive they will try to steer me in the way they think is right (whether others agree with them doesn’t matter). I’m sure most of us would do the same for our kids if we thought their behavior sucked we’d tell them. You can argue swearing, and whatever morality markers you want, but I don’t think you ever stop parenting your kids. I know if I offended my parent even on something I didn’t think was a big deal I’d apologize to them for it.

Looking at the length of time in here that you are the rookie.

You're gonna find that I can always back up what I say.

The before O-Live version doesn't count.

HoopsJock is ROY, btw.

6'6" and ROY? Great, now I'm worried about his menisci.

I don't usually post a link unless requested or if it's already common knowledge. Most people take me at my word that I know what the heck I'm talking about. Only occasionally do I typically get a request for a link.

"Link?" Is a standard, customary, ubiquitous response around these parts. You'll see it a lot

My knees and back are all good, I've never had an injury to either. I still wish I could've donated some meniscus to B-Roy.

My feet are my demise. I got inserts from Good Feet a few years ago and that helped with the Plantar Fasciitis but I have really bad Achilles Tendinosis with Bone Spurs in my heel. So I'm more like the Sabonis rookie year, although I am still mobile. I've learned to deal with the pain.

What happens is every time I lift the back of my foot or jump my achilles tears slightly from the heel bone. This causes internal bleeding and then calcifies over which causes this knot to grow larger on the back of my foot that is essentially bone. Most people have a little version of this but it's more rare to be on the part of the back of my foot where it rubs against my shoe and becomes irritated when I run which in turns makes the knot worse. If it was just a fraction of an inch either direction I wouldn't even know it's there and I'd be totally fine. It's possible it can move on it's own but I haven't gotten that lucky yet. There is a surgery that the doctor says is practically 100% successful where they go in and chisel off the bone growth, slice through the achilles to remove the bone spurs, and then reattach the achilles. I have great insurance that would cover the cost of the surgery too. The problem is that you have to go at least 6 weeks afterwards without being able to drive or move around much. Having my own business and little kids around makes that very difficult to find a time to take 6 weeks to heal and not drive. Plus I play in basketball leagues year round and want to do things like the Rip City 3 on 3 tourney and play hoops at that school with you guys.

I teach my son speech is free.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I am all about free speech. That doesn't mean it is free from consequences though. And by consequences I don't mean laws. I mean blowback.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Nothing is free, you may have the right to say anything you want, but everything has a consequence. Our words and actions will always have consequences. Teaching your kid to swear or not to swear isn’t in any way infringing on their amendment rights to speak freely.

Dude. Who the hell are you talking to? What makes you think I need your life lesson?? Really??

I teach my kid what's real:

You're gonna cuss in front of your friends anyway, and I'll never be able to control that. HOWEVER, do not cuss in front of adults. Act like I raised you right.

Now, he's 11 years old and doesn't even have a desire to say a curse word.

As a grown man he will understand that he can say WTF he wants but should know when to use his filter.

Thanks but no thanks, I don't need your advice on raising my kid. He's good.

Now please, tell me how Curry saying "This is my fucking house" is gonna have a negative effect on his life? I'll wait....

I was never offering advice on raising your kid, why do you act so offended that I said I wouldn’t teach my kids to curse. I flat outsaid parent your kids the you want too...

You tried to give me a life lesson. Save it.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Yeah that’s what that was... It was all about you and teaching you something. I think you’re reaching a whole lot here. I never said Anything about how raised your kid, or should or shouldn’t raise YOUR kid. Unless you think raise your kid however you want is a life lesson.

It’s like I said I don’t teach my kids to swear and you decided that meant I think your a bad parent because you do. Which wasn’t implied or said.

And I need this explained to me....? Nope... I don't... Sense over here is common.

You’re the one who replied to me you teach your kid speech is free like I don’t, because I don’t swear. I don’t swear at work, or with my friends or around my kids either. It’s just a choice I made. I realize my kids will figure out how to swear and will get to talk the way they choose too.

So you must be forgetting when you said:

When I talked about what I teach my kid, it was in response to what you said...

What I was trying to convey was that I don't need to be told:

So let me get this straight, I say what you teach your kid is your choice, just like what I teach my kids is my choice. Your only response to that is "I teach my son speech is free".
I responded about consequences to speech, and you take that to be me giving you parenting advice... Then tell me I can't remember what I posted. Tell me how awesome your kid (I hope he's doing great btw), and
on top of that act like I said anything bad about what Curry said, when I said to begin with how he talks is his choice, he's an adult.

I never made the claim that some how Curry swearing on TV was going to damage the children or something. I don't quite get where your coming from.

I hope you're a good Father, and your son does well in life, and I'm sorry I guess if you took me responding to a one liner about free speech as some sort of parenting advice, or life lesson. It was merely a response to the free speech comment, not an indictment on your parenting skills...

That's the whole issue there. You seem to be thinking I'm worried about kids and such. I'm telling you that I don't need you to tell me "the consequences to speech"...

I answered that in the simplest way possible while letting you know I didn't need you to tell me the consequences...
