Baby The Talk

Posting gifs and pics on here is too much work. What with all the hosting and shit. Just Google "Ai Shinozaki gif", and ye shall be rewarded.


+1 on the pics. Took me like an hour just to show Bloodhammer how to move his fridge. Could've just moved it myself faster than that.

So, I'm too adhd to read this whole thead.

I remember when my mom tried to have "the talk" with me, she whipped out this book & it had graphic photos of 70's bush all over the place. I couldn't stop laughing and she was pretty mad. I guess since I'd seen her boobies & bush so many times, that I should've been more serious and receptive. At 4 yrs old. :fly:
 
I think the talk varies with each kid.

You determine the maturity level of your kid & what they've been exposed to, then base your terms & talk on that level.

For my oldest... He was so shy & didn't show any interest in girls even at 12 yrs old. Then, MySpace changed all that, and I hacked his account to read messages of him & a ton of other friends getting girls to send them pics of their boobs :/

So, his dad wouldn't stop whatever kept him busy, (beer, building shit, being retarded), to have the talk with him, so I did.

I was straight up with him. Used the correct terms & even went on about birth control & not to trust girls when they say they're on the pill, because girls can she crazy bitches. I told him to always bring his own birth control to the party. Ugh. That was all pretty painful.

My daughter was sooo easy because she used all the correct terms & wasn't embarrassed at all. It's like she wanted to know exactly how it was all done, like she was passing a test at the end. It was very classroomlike.

My youngest... Well, he got into dad's porn stuff on the pc by 4 or so, so I just watched him to see if he was ever inappropriate, and he wasn't. He obviously knows how it's done, but the fundamentals of it all came later. I also tried to establish that there is a difference with porn and sort of "real life".

I used all correct terms and he giggled every, single time, but I feel like the more you approach this stuff with such trepidation, some kids play on the drama and act dramatic for attention.

Using substitute terms only feeds the drama, imo. It's an important part of life that your kids need to learn about & approaching it as a joke & using joke terms could only (unintentionally) teach them to approach serious shit in life with such nervousness that they avoid shit "because it makes them nervous or feel funny."

Never had "the talk" with my parents that I recall. My parents split up by the time I was of age (according to this thread) to get the talk. So no united front there. I got the talk from health class and kids at school.
 
Just asked Haylee what was bothering her this evening (melancholy and down) and she responds on the verge of tears, "I don't know." Oh silly hormones. Dad just kind of slowly backed out of the room at that point.

Well if you don't know how in the hell am I supposed to help you?

Goddamnit, you're gonna sit here and ball and not even tell me why?

Whaddaya mean ya don't know? Oh, you know. You're just being a bitch.
 
Yeah. I explained it comes and goes and to focus on finding ways that help her feel better. I also told her she can always come to me and say she's sad but doesn't know why. It's so confusing as a kid to have these emotions and not understand them.
Fuck if it's hard to understand in your 30s and 40s I can't even imagine as a tween

Poor baby!
