Background I live with my mother under shared household rules, including a strict no-swearing policy she established. What happened Yesterday, I cursed accidentally after minor physical pain. During her criticism of my language, my mother used profanity herself, shouting: "How many f***ing times must I tell you to stop that bulls**t?!" I responded: "You’re using the same words you forbid me from saying." She replied: "Don’t you f***ing lecture me!" The exchange became tense. The conflict • Her view: Parents may use strong language for discipline, and challenging this is disrespectful. • My view: Enforcing rules while violating them undermines fairness. However, I acknowledge responding confrontationally escalated tensions. Conflict Points: • My mother condemned my swearing but used explicit profanity during her reprimand. • I questioned this inconsistency, leading to heightened conflict. • She believes parental authority justifies differing standards.
