Two family members suffered badly and in both cases it was the worst, the nastiest elements of their original personality that became prominent and the kindness/better aspects that faded into background..

That aligns the my (admittedly single) experience. Nicest, sweetest, kindest woman you could ever wish to meet turned into a cantankerous foul mouthed vicious so and so. Maybe she was just releasing years of pent up feelings, we'll never know.

Sometimes a profanity is succinct, accurate and apt. 😉

I find it intriguing and amusing that very often parents and their children swear within their generation (and with their friends), but not across the generation, keeping up the pretence that the other generation never/rarely swears. (Anecdotal evidence - it's a linguistic question I have several times asked pupils.) I suspect that parents probably know that their children swear with their mates, but ignorance is bliss - how could their sweet, innocent child possibly swear?

Parents know lots about what their sweet little cherubs get upto, remember, the parents were once sweet little cherubs themselves.
It is exactly this knowledge which is worrying daughter No3, as her "darling son" approaches 17, and, has discovered girls and alcohol 😂

In the recent 'peace talks', lets look at the players:
Carill Demetriv is the guy in charge of all of Putin's offshore assets.
Jared Kushner is the guy in charge of all of Trump's offshore assets.
Steve Witoff and his son, is in charge of Trump's crypto fund and crypto coins.

If only there was a way to determine the motives of those peace talks. Must only be about peace. Right? Right?

RT @realDonaldTrumpThere has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Someone made the same comment to me about schools. The teachers all swear when talking to each other and the kids all swear when talking to each other, but any conversation between kids and teachers must be swear word free.
I think the point of teaching kids not to swear is that they need to understand context. What's acceptable in the pub / behind the bike sheds is not acceptable in other contexts.
