As for 'fuck', you don't always realise the effect it has on other people. This is fresh in my mind because of a conversation I had with Petra a few days ago which went as follows:
P: Daddy, why doesn't Sasha like me?
Me: I'm sure she does, darling; whatever gave you that idea?
P: But she called me 'your fucking daughter'. Why did she say that about me?
I was certainly at fault in not asking you to mind your language around Petra, but I do think (and I hope you won't mind my saying so) that you were also at fault in not considering the effect of your words on one hurt and confused little girl who is now convinced that you dislike her. I feel embarrassed about mentioning this (please don't take it as a rebuke), but I thought you'd want to know.
