ALBANY, NY (NEWS10) – Wednesday’s 98.3 TRY social dilemma came from Jo. Here is his email.

Hi Jaime.

I have a question for the social dilemma. How do you deal with a neighbor who swears with every other word that comes out of his mouth. He has young children and he talks like that in front of them. Personally, I hate this kind of talk and I can’t even sit in my garden often because I don’t want to listen to it. I wasn’t raised like that and I didn’t raise my daughter like that. I don’t want my grandchildren to listen to it either. I just feel funny saying something to him but I think he should show a little respect when he has close neighbors.

Thank you.

Hmmm, well, that’s a tough question. While no one wants to hear someone swear loudly anywhere because it often makes a lot of people uncomfortable, I think being in his own backyard it would be difficult to do so. stop unless he wants to. I guess if it bothered me that much I would bring some food, sit with him and explain that your grandchildren can hear what he is saying and that is really inappropriate. I’m a huge fan of using kindness to get your point across. But if that doesn’t work, I don’t know if there is much to do. But it’s just me. Maybe others have better ideas.

Let’s help Jo. Let us know on the NEWS10 Facebook page or let Jaime know on the TRY Facebook page.
