Sm told her 5yr ss EXACTLY where babies come from.....EDIT!

[feliciasmith]

I work with a girl that spares no details when it comes to sex with her 4 yr old ds and 5 yr old ss. She told them babies come from a girls vagina and boys have to put their penis into the vagina to make babies. This honestly made me want to puke all over her lol her ss's mom isn't involved but I still think this is out of line for any kids that age.....

what do you think?

EDIT:

I also think it's great she was honest, but for such young children it's too much. The stork or cabbage patch story is nonsense. She could have been just as honest but a little more age appropriate.

Also I didn't argue with her or have any debate because I work with this girl, I left where she was and let another coworker of mine kindly discuss her thoughts to the mom lol

This.  Not sure I would volunteer all the info, but if they ask specific questions, I will give them the correct answers.

Quoting Zimmerchild:

If they are old enough to ask, they are old enough to know. It is rather important to tell them the truth when they asked, for so many reasons, one of them knowing that it's inappropriate for others to touch them in places or to do those things to them. Not to mention that it should be between two consenting adults.

So you plan on lying to your kids? Why is your way of lying to your kids better than her telling the truth less disgusting?

Quoting feliciasmith:

No I just think its tooo young for such details. When my dd asks I'll tell her babies grow in their mommys belly. At 4 and 5 I feel that is sufficient enough info for them.

Quoting GlockMom:

Why exactly does this make you "want to puke all over her"? It's the truth. Would it be better to tell them that mothers find babies in the dewy cabbage patches at first sunlight?





A bit over dramatic aren't you?

I think it's important that 4 year olds know their body parts so they can inform unsuspecting strangers while shopping with their moms that girls have vaginas and boys have penises.

But.....that is where babies come from.....

[feliciasmith]

So a 4 yr old is expected to understand the inner workings of a womans reproductive system?

Kids don't need to know how sex is done. In my Opinion it should be a conversation for older children around preteen age.

Quoting packermomof2:

I did that with my kids around that age.  They asked the questions and I answered honestly.  No point in doing it any other way.

Babies don't grow in bellies either...

[GlockMom]

No, the grow in a uterus. Packer I HATE people explaining this stuff to kids and using nicknames for body parts.

I also answer questions correctly when asked. Me and my daughter started where babies come from talks when I was pregnant with her brother. I didn't lie to her. She asked questions way earlier than DS. He is 10 next month. I have a feeling me or DH will have to sit down and just have the talk with him soon. He still hasn't questioned much. Things has asked about I have explained accurately.

If they are old enough to ask and be curious , then they are old enough to know the truth. You're doing no one any favors by trying to hide the reality of what it is, making them wait till they're "older", or telling them some mystical story about a stork and a basket. It's a teaching moment, take it for what is, and teach them the truth. After all knowledge is power.

[feliciasmith]

If sugar coating is lying then I guess that's right. And I with my past abuse I just don't think my child needs to be thrusted into adult knowledge so early. In my OPINION it's not okay for a child to know that penises go in vaginas.

[Steamedpuddle30]

Too young. But in a couple of years it will be fine. Kids don't need to know this type of stuff.

This is very difficult for me to say its too young bc I work in the medical field and I think talking about bowel movements,blood an Iv's is appropriate. Lol.

[feliciasmith]

Exactly! lol And all the neighborhood kids too
