woah clam down. I think you have mis-understood what i was getting at.
What im getting at is just because you think its ok for "5-10 yr olds" to know swear words that does NOT mean that EVERY parent in australia wants that.
Im not a parent but like you i have looked after younger kids ....but some parents dont want their kids to hear or say those words . Its easy for you to say "oh well i dont care if they swear" fair enough you do not represent every mother in australia.
And if you read my first post you would know that the swearing issue is no big deal to me...i said that i swear all the time. But when i am around young people i dont swear, or if i know that its possible they could hear it i dont say it, just out of respect for the parents who are teaching their own kids wrong and right.
Just on the role model thingy tho...i know a 7 yr old boy who LOVES billy slater its his role model every day he talks about slater ..huge fan...if slater had come out and swore(im not saying that billy doesnt swear) or came out on TV and did some things us "normal human beings do" then it would be truly upsetting for him...because he looks up to slater and thinks that billy can do no wrong.
read my first post agian and you will see where im coming from
