TJ asked:
My finance is swearing all the time, & I have a 7 year old boy, & we have a baby on the way. I don’t think it is good for my son to hear these words all the time. Often he uses cuss words in a normal conversation. He also has a short temper & simple things get him to swear & yell. I don’t want to raise kids like this, how do I get him to stop. Isn’t it bad for kids to hear?

Why is this $#@$% question in the personal finance area?

What the f*&! business is it of yours if the moth$$f***r curses all the d*** time?
(You cannot EVER change other people’s behaviour, only the way you react to it. Out there somewhere is another guy with all his ‘positives’ and none of his ‘negatives’. Don’t you think you deserve better? He isn’t going to change!)

Fiance, not finance. Finance has to do with money.
Tell him in a calm manner that he needs to change his behavior for the sake of the kids. Gently remind him when he shows inappropriate behavior. If he doesn’t sincerely make efforts to improve, he is probably a loser and you and the kids will be better off without him. The bad language isn’t good, but the short temper worries me. If it’s bad now, just wait till the pressures of having another mouth to feed settles in.

As some have said before TJ, we don’t know why you posted this in the finance section on Yahoo, but I’ll answer your question.
So your fiance has a short temper and little things get him angry. He’s a lot like me then, so I can give you advice.
Okay first of all I’m going to ask this. What is the financial situation of your fiance? Is he working a job that he loves, or does he **** it because it’s stressful and the pay is lousy?
Second, I’m going to ask you this. How are his health habits? Does he eat properly or not. Does he consume a lot of alcohol or not? Does he exercise regularly or not? Does he spend a lot of time on the computer, on video games or in front of the TV?
If any of these things makes your fiance stressed out, out of shape or using his free time wasting away on these forms of escapism, then we might have a solution here.
Now here’s a suggestion that can apply in this section. He should try to find ways making money online, exercise, take fresh air and breathe deeper. This might help to be less irritated, calm and swear less.
Hope this helps.

“Fiance”, not “finance.”
