Exactly, its not a big deal. And while I'm certainly not knowledgeable enough to even begin to question your parenting skills (which I'm impressed with), it is certainly likely there could have been a different explanation where she forgot about it completely. Could be, right?
of course! there are ALWAYS a number of ways things can go, and you usually don't get to but one or two. this always allows room for second-guessing and wishful thinking. that's what parenting's about. if you're 100% confident in your parenting skills, you're not doing it right.
i believe, as with most other things, you try your best to do what you think is best for the reasons you think best. i try and try and try some more because there is nothing more important to me than being able to successfully build a person with consideration to the morals and values i believe in and to the people my children already are (personalities and abilities) so they will be able to take care of themselves and others to the best of their abilities in a world where i've hoped i've contributed a GOOD person to. (how's that for a run-on sentence?)
It seems to me that you, as an adult, are putting testicles and sex together. That's a abstract concept and is foreign to most small kids. Learning about how testicles physically look doesn't seem like it would be "growing up" to me.
i am assuming how the conversation might go, based on previous conversations. most of the time, with our daughter, it never stops at one question. yes, i'm assuming, but i'd be willing to bet that the questions would eventually lead to asking what testicles were for, and that gets into sex, which i'm not ready to explain to her just yet.
I ask you, what would you do if your daughter saw someone nursing in public? Would you freak out that she tried to nurse a classmate at school and hope to get it outlawed? Where does this end?
actually my daughter has pretended to breastfeed many a baby doll. she even pretended to nurse herself by lying in my lap, back when i was breastfeeding baby bird. i didn't freak out about it. there is a necessity/valid reason for nursing. it's not some crude, offensive thing. the whole breast is usually not exposed, either.
if spangelet lifted her shirt to nurse a doll it would be very different than lifting her shirt to expose herself for a laugh. same body part, different meaning.
if some man's pants accidently fell down he flashed us it would be much different than if he pulled them down and intentionally flashed us. the problem is not the body part...it's the manner in which it was used.
