"I wouldn't even swear in front of my kids, never mind at them. Well I try not to, an accidental one occasionally slips out and they tell me off 
Precisely this  "
Yep |

"On rare occasions, my kids drive me to a swear word. What you’re describing sounds a lot like abuse."
How can you tell? 
Its like the dude blaming depression on being miserable |

I wonder who gives anyone right to judge someone else's parenting methods, many kids from so called "pathological" families rise to greatness, exactly because of harsh parenting, and vise versa. Many mother cuddled kids became scar on the face of society.
It's really easy to judge from a far not knowing all the facts |

I suppose it depends on the context and the way the kids are brought up. I don't think swearing as such is necessarily a bad thing. I once saw a woman screaming "fatty" in her small daughter's face, that to me is much worse than swearing. |

I swear like a sailor.
Not at my kids, but they are usually in the vicinity when I blurt out an expletive. They tell me off and they are aware that they are not to copy mummy. Their teachers have complimented me on both of their vocabulary being extensive, at which I checked they weren’t being sarky and meaning they swore, and they assured me that was not the case at all.
The way I see it, it takes the mystery out of swearing, so they are less likely to use it for shock value.

I swore around mine as they got older, but not at them and they were raised to know they weren’t to swear themselves. I now have one that won’t even say bloody in-front of me and one that would embarrass a sailor! |

I don’t follow your analogy.
The description implies that the parent frequently swears (presumably not in a nice way, given that a neighbour has picked up on it). No matter the reasons why this may be, that sounds like it may be verbal and emotion abuse. |

Most annoying thing is when the kids are causing havoc screaming shouting generally being a pain in the ass and the parent/s look half soaked and don’t say a word to them!  |

I’ve banned my little one playing with some children because the parents believe it’s okay to swear in front of the kids. Luckily where we live now the families all seem nice and the kids are nice for her to play with. |

For me, shielding kids from swearing is misguided and doomed to fail besides. People swear, for good reason. Learning when swearing is appropriate and to have respect is more useful and practical.
Swearing at people, that’s a different matter altogether. |

There is swearing and some that use it like “a” and “the” I would do the same. It’s not shielding but also not letting them think it is right for it to be every day normal language.

I (Mr) swear around them and at them!
They're savvy enough to know the rights and wrongs of it, and are articulate with rich vocabularies.
A well-judged swear is a thing of great beauty and much pleasure. They're getting a great education in curseology... |
