so tonight me and my 9 year old ds was watching that show dirty jobs, well on this episode he went to a pig farm. anyway, their was a scene where he had to get sperm out of a male pig and and breed a female pig. to make a long story short, ds started asking alot of questions about what thay was doing and what was that white stuff he was putting in the female. i think my face turned really red. lol! i just tried to answer his questions on a 9 year old level. and dh was sitting right their and did't say a word!!!! later i asked him why he did't help in the discussion, and he said it sounded like i had it covered. any of you other moms have this happen? 
O me.... I don't know, I'd be pissed at the hubby for sure, its not compleatly up to you... I think I might have chickened out and sent him to his room, lol. Good for you for trying though.
Nope..thankfully not yet...my boys are 2yo and 7mo...and me and DH talked about it...he will be having this discussion...

i am kinda glad dh did't say anything. lol! i think i did a pretty good job keeping the info on his level without saying to much.
I asked my mom about the facts of life after watching Looks Who's Talking - who remembers the intro scene?!?!? I was 8 years old, my mom's theory was she wasnt going to say until I asked so I did, it took me 3 days to get the whole situation straightened out.

I for one would have changed the Show to something more family friendly .. as for Dhwell its his job as the male to help his son learn about his body.. I think you did a good job answering the best you could.. you may have to educate yourself a bit more on how to tell a child about their body and there are books you can get that helps parents with this topic.. good luck and have a long talk wtih dh about his role in this

He is 9, you can talk normally to him about sex. Call the parts by their names, explain how it works.
