In a recent “Dear Annie” column, a reader expressed concern about a friend who frequently uses foul language around children, including their own 7 and 10 year olds. The reader was unsure if they were being too prudish in their reaction, but felt that the language used was inappropriate and potentially harmful to the children.
Annie Lane advised the reader to gently express their discomfort to the parents, focusing on the impact on the children rather than criticizing the parents themselves. By approaching the situation with care and concern for the well-being of the kids, the reader could potentially help change the behavior without causing conflict.
The column also announced the release of Annie Lane’s second anthology, “How Can I Forgive My Cheating Partner?”, which features favorite columns on marriage, infidelity, communication, and reconciliation. The book is available in paperback and e-book formats from Creators Publishing.
