My dad? Not that much unless we are camping.
My mom? Not in a million years. That women went through enough in her life, She doesn't need to know that her son can swear like a sailor.

Fuck yeah.
But not more than I normally do. I swear when I want to put a lot of emphsis on something, and can't be bothered to think of a shorter way to do it.

I won't shy away from it conversationally but not as recreationally as I might with my friends.
For example.
Phone conversation with my Father.
Hi Dad, the battery in my Jeep died could you give me a jump?
...
I don't know, it's just fuckin' dead.
Phone conversation with close friend.
Hey you fuck, I'm firing up the grill you wanna come over for a steak?
...
C'mon get your dick out of your hand and come over.

Yeah I swear all the time infront of my parents, of course I don't do it in public unless it's a private conversation between them and me. I do try to control myself though but if I stub my toe or they something really annoying it just slips out.
Most of the time no, although it will come out sometimes. My parents dislike me or any of my siblings swearing at any time, however when they've been drinking alcohol a bit they tend to not mind as much when any of us do swear.
My parents and me have a strange sort of relationship with swearing. It's almost become an inside joke now. My dad sometimes doesn't like it but my mum really doesn't bother and seems to enjoys the banter. Mind you I'm in my early 20s; would be a bit different if I was a bit younger.
No, even though both my parents are extremely guilty of doing it themselves. No one in my family cusses in front of our parents, we occasionally do in front of each other.
Used to be that I wouldn't cuss in front of my mother since I'd get in trouble. But after a while of my younger brother swearing up a storm at her and around her with no repercussions, I no longer gave a damn so I cussed in front of her as well.
But, I don't deal with her now, so I guess it doesn't matter now, dose it?

I'd be curious to know how old everyone is...
Anyway, 24 years old and I don't swear in front of my parents. It just doesn't seem right to me. Of course they do know that I swear but it's not something I'll bust out when they're around.

I very rarely swear, honestly. My dad curses occasionally, but my parents never really taught my brother nor I not to swear. The community taught us that it was wrong; our schools were pretty harsh about swearing. I get annoyed about how in movies characters rarely express an idea or surprise without swearing their heads off.
Edit: Wait, some people still consider "crap" and "dang" curses? On another note, I don't really get why people act like the proper words for anatomy are curses.

Yeah my mother kinda puts up with it getting used to it after all these years. My dad swears more than me and my brother combined though so he can't talk.
Perhaps I should have been clearer. When I say my father doesn't like to hear me swear, I mean he doesn't like to hear me, specifically, swear. His rationale, which he's given me multiple times, is that I, being a minor, somehow "don't have the right" to swear. If it were only a matter of respect I wouldn't begrudge him the ban on cussing, but considering his tendency to say pretty vile things himself when he chews me out for swearing, I'm more inclined to think of it as immaturity.Some_weirdGuy said:I don't know your family so I can hardly speak no their behalf, but I will point out that perhaps 'emotional maturity' has very little/nothing to do with tolerating vulgarity, and that it's actually more to do with conveying respect and (at a guess) your parent's trying to raise to at least appear semi-educated and civilised.Master_of_Oldskool said:
You can say there's nothing wrong with swearing(and on a technicality I'd agree), but there's a reason why professionals in businesses don't turn around and say:
"k *****, what fuckin' shit can I do for you today? What the fuck do you want? Can I interest you cunts in some fucking financial advice or are you wanting to find some shit out about our fuckin' insurance policies?"
So at a guess your father just probably wants you to demonstrate that level of respect all the time rather than just sometimes. (maybe you should ask him and find out why he doesn't want you swearing)

on a side note, I don't even count 'crap', 'damn', 'dick' , etc as swear words. Only the big 3 count (though I guess '****' comes close now days), and yeah I refrain from using them around my parents(i have never heard my mother swear, ever, so i respect that by refraining from doing so around/to her).
Now that I think about it, I only tend to use them 'casually' when doing impressions or other joke type characterisations XD.
That said, I do try not to swear around people if they politely ask me not to. I understand the need to be respectful and everything, I just don't see a rational reason why swearing is considered disrespectful.
No, but then again, I don't cuss in front of anyone. No reason not to be polite (with, I suppose, the exception of humor, but even that's usually more overdone than not).
Capcha: "who makes the aspire s5 ultrabook?" And then there's a list of drop-down items. What the heck? Am I supposed to know this off the top of my head? Am I supposed to Google it? Am I supposed to take a wild guess? This is asinine.
