According to the MPAA's website: “A motion picture's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating.”
The ruling came to be that only one F-bomb could be used in a PG-13 movie, which meant that writers had to become more strategic when and if they placed it in a movie. This also meant that audiences would receive more iconic F-bomb moments in a film.
The R rating is normally required if the film contains more than one utterance or if the word is used in a sexual context; however, there are exceptions to this rule. In some cases, filmmakers appealed the rating because their target audience might avoid an R-rated film.
A few projects like The Social Network and The American President have even gotten away with two or three and still retained their PG-13 rating. Reserved only for impact in the PG-13 universe, R-rated films have a green light to use the F-word unregulated. You only get one, and you better make it count.
A common thing that people tell you about the MPA is that for PG-13, you are only allowed one F-bomb in a non-sexual way (though there have been films with two or more uses), as they say that two uses can get a film rated R.
The restrictions set by the Us ratings board mean the F-word can only be used once in a PG-13 movie.
It is applied to all films which have significant women on screen, as well as being directed and/or written by women.

Cursing is sometimes allowed but never to degrade or bully anyone, in or outside of the family.

There is a big difference between cursing because you stubbed your toe and cursing at someone in a degrading way.
Jay and Janschewitz state: “Parents often wonder if this behavior is normal and how they should respond to it. Our data show that swearing emerges by age two and becomes adult-like by ages 11 or 12. By the time children enter school, they have a working vocabulary of 30-40 offensive words….
Swearing: preschoolers. Young children might swear to get attention, express frustration, try out words, or copy other people. It's often best to ignore swearing in toddlers and preschoolers. When your child is old enough to understand, you can explain why swearing isn't OK.
