That touches a nerve with me....so because they are boys they are allowed to be rough, rude and hyper? The rules are the same for BOTH boys & girls. My expectations are not based on gender, its on age and EVERYONE follows them. Be it cleaning up, running around, being loud, or rough housing - ITS NOT ALLOWED. Yes toy cars are still toys....I don't care, theyre still no crashing :P

I have 3 boy cousins all brothers ages 10, 7, 5 and you would never catch any of them speak that way or use those words. Heck I don't know if they even know "sexual" jokes!

So....NO you're not being uptight.

p.s. knowing 'me' I'd also make it clear to the parents that it's not acceptable and 100% his teachers don't allow it either, nip it!
