The reason that she is here is because she has no where else to go. I'm not about to throw her out into the street with a kid.
Well that is nice of you to take here in, but i would firmly explain to her that type of language is acceptable in your home. period and end of it. if she is not able to abide by your house rule, then she must leave.
Your house, your rules, you do not have to justify yourself to any body regarding rules made by you, in your house that you pay for.
I really do not like when I heard parents use the F word to little children, it really sickens me.

For all those saying tell her she leaves and the kid stays, that seems like an awful big assumption that the OP has the ability to care of another child. Hell, the sister may gladly take her up on that offer and never look back.
My sister who is 25 recently moved in with me after leaving her husband in Mississippi. I guess they have a very different way of raising children down there. She has an 18 month old son who she routinely swears at, and has now began swearing at my kids. She will tell them, " What the f**k are you doing?" "Get your a** over/up here!" "What the f**k is this s**t?" And "Shut the f**k up!" I am also appalled that she tells her child to shut up! I am SO worried that my 5 year old will go into kindergarten this year and start talking like this. I tell my sister all the time to stop speaking to the children like that, but she doesn't listen. I NEVER speak to my children like this, and our parents certainly never did either. Not sure what to do...
I laughed out loud (literally) when I saw this post!
My dad and mom were complete opposites in this respect. Growing up, my dad swore ALL THE TIME, even in front of us kids. My uncle (who worked with my dad) did too. But my mom almost never swore. It was a shock - and I mean you could feel a jolt through your body - when she did. Both my dad and uncle came to swear less and less in later years. My parents - even my dad - enforced a strict no-swearing policy with us kids growing up. If you were to swear, you would get your mouth washed out with soap. And so we almost never swore.
Interestingly, all of us kids turned out different in this respect. I almost swear exclusively to myself - I pretty much never do it when other people are around, and kind of frown (at least internally) when they do, especially when girls do. It just seems taboo to me. My brother, two years younger than me (21), swears like a sailor, although he probably picked up the habit not from my father but from his work installing carpet. My sister, at 16, has picked the habit up from her friends, not from my dad.
