I take offence to that on so many levels! And to RuthnJasper How dare you claim that I dislike my own children! I love my children with every beat of my heart, who on God's earth are you to judge me on how I raise my children!!

I didn't claim that you disliked them. I asked you why you swore at them. On God's Earth I am RuthnJasper and I stand by my assertion that swearing at children is never, without exception, appropriate.

Next time my cousin laughs at me I'm going to tell her that

She'll know that I never went to America when I was a kid and I just heard it wrong (like Agadoo), but it's worth a shot :rotfl:

I have so many misheard lyrics, even of a band I consider myself (lol) a super fan of.

Ireland is a country, not a village, not one family but a country with lots of people who are all different individual people. Do you seriously think all Irish people swear? Is it likely that you can say that about an entire nation? Well I can tell you they don't all swear. Maybe it is where they come from in Ireland, maybe it is there family but it is not all Irish people and it is not "An Irish thing."

By the way we don't all drink too much, have twelve kids and eat nothing but potatoes either.

On the other hand, when Irish people swear at least they do add a musical lilt. English swear words go well with their accent, imho.

And IrishRose - when do you "need/want to" swear at your own children? Do you dislike them that much so that you have to swear at them as though they were lairy louts getting out of hand in a nightclub?

The way I read this part of your post is that you imply I dislike my children. I don't know how else to take it???

God the silence is deafening isn't it??:eek: I'm still trying to find another way to take that reply. I'm coming up with nothing but my original thought

Even when it is not there, even when those who are Irish agreed with it? As I said, your prerogative, an incorrect assessment in this case, but your prerogative.

Remember that its about how comments are Perceived .. Not about intention. Its naive to assume that if no offence was meant that none will be taken !

It is about intent. You cannot hope to please everyone.

Well in that case I hope you never get accussed of harrassment or bullying ...

And I hope the same is true for you.

I don't generalise about entire races or cultures so I should be fine ... But I appreciate that you care enough about my comments to worry.:D
