What are people’s thoughts are their kids swearing. I think it should be encouraged at sporting events, when in pain, and for humorous effect.

My kids are 13 and 14 and we don't allow them to swear. They do use "frick" pretty liberally and I'm okay with it. They'll call each other out for "fricking up" or tell each other to "frick off." I don't find it offensive at all and it's a good replacement word for fata at their age and around me. I'm sure around their friends they actually swear.
I don't swear around my kids or any kids much at all. When I do, it's an accident nine times out of 10. Around friends and at work I do swear.
Most of the best songs and movies have swears and I'm 100% okay with allowing my kids to hear that stuff. I can't imagine how conservative you'd have to be to deny your kids access to all the great art out there just because it has "bad words". Like, c'mon, relax and be cool.
