Serious question. *EDIT more info* Dealing with private parts & kids
NO BASHING PLEASE!!!
My 2 step kids live with us 7,8 boy/ girl.
I have a 5 yo girl. & we have 2 babies together. Boy/girl.
I've recently been dealing with situations where my step kids have been doing things they are not supposed to.
THE FIRST HAPPENED WHEN SHE WAS 6 & him 5. (2yrs ago)
SECOND WAS RECENT SHE IS 8.
MY STEP DS IS 7 HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
*I caught my step DD trying yo put her hand up my step DS shorts.
* another time my step DD was caught by my sister getting on top of my niece. In her room while we where in the living room.
* just today I asked the kids to wash up for snack after school. My step DS never does it. So I asked to smell his hands. (see if they smelled like soap) they smelled dirty. I think u know what I mean. After asking him why his hands smell like that & various other questions. He told me he was touching himself at school. That he stuck his hand in his pants. While they were supposed to be reading.
All situations *I* spoke to them telling them that we don't do those things. They are inappropriate. & so on.. & were grounded. Then I called their mom & let them know.
What should I do? Is this normal? Am I handling things right?
*I had a big talk with my 5yo DD. I know when she's lying. She saud that she has never been touched or asked to touch anything by anyone.
I gave her a bunch of scenarios as examples. She was very sincere.
Their dad took them to spend the night at his parents. He wants his dad to talk to them.

I am not the best to answer this due to my past, but here's a bump. Good luck
Children touching themselves is normal.
In my opinion, what your children are doing is ABnormal.
I am a Home Schooling, Vaccinating, Non spanking, Nightmare Cuddling, Dessert Giving, Bedtime Kissing, Book Reading, Academic pushing Mother. I believe in the benefit of organized after school activities and nosey, involved parents. I believe in spoiling my children. I believe that I have seen the village and I do not want it raising my child. I believe that my place, as a woman, is in the home caring for my husband and children. My husband is head of our home.

I mean I pretty much know this. There is reason why I'm concerned.

Advice?
Have them talk to a professional. Separately. Not Grandpa.
