    I came across a post on mumsnet of a mother who's teen daughter had a friend over and at some point, the daughter swore in front of her mother (not towards her). The mother later got a call from the friends mother who didn't want her daughter around that.

    I'm wondering, what is your policy when it comes to your teens swearing? Do you tolerate it?

    Probably started swearing as teenagers. My parents do it, everyone I know does it. The ironic thing is everynow again my parents will pull me up on it (I'm 24), but not my younger brothers.
