Sadly children can not choose their parents, I too hear this kind of stuff all the time, foul language is an accepted part of life it seems everywhere, even though it is actually against the law to use obscene language, does anyone ever do anything about it NOT, of course this is much deeper than just bad language, it is verbal child abuse, that child does not stand a chance.

One time I was at burger King with my then young daughter about 4 years old, these children and yes they were just that children were swearing the worst of the foul language there is, I spoke to them and told them it was a public place and I did not appreciate their language, they just turned around and verbally abused me, so I did report it to the manager, but I left there feeling scared for my safety and my daughter's, a horrible sign of the times.

Not that I am giving that woman any sympathy, but the truth probably is, that is exactly how she was spoken to as a child, the vicious cycle thing, but then again it is up to her to try and change all that.

Another incident outside my house not long ago, a young man outside swearing again the worst of the foul language, it was very quiet and early in the morning, I looked out the window, he did apologise, but said something about some guy(think it was my neighbours) would not let him get his dog, and that he could not get him because he had his young son in hand, one did he think firstly his dog should have been on a leash and two about the disgusting language he used in front of his toddler, NOT on you Nelly as the saying goes., just more prime examples of similar incidents like your's Tonya.

It takes a brave person to speak up and say something, obviously you are not going to be thanked for it.

Sadly this is all too common today.
