[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's really horrifying is that some kids don't learn about this at home, from a parent/caretaker. I get that we need it taught in schools because it's basic info everyone truly needs to know, but when we talk about more or less instructional time being lost to teach about it it just hits home how much basic info some families punt to schools to teach their kids. My kids have known about male/female anatomical differences and details of human reproduction since at least age 8. Why is this info so rarefied and secret??[/quote] So you discussed nocturnal emissions with your 8 year old daughter? And your 8 year old son knows that menstruation is the shedding of the uterus lining due to no egg being fertilized? Did you also discuss STDs too?[/quote] DP. But yes. The egg thing came up pretty early on in our family when kids could see mom has her period. Erections came up in late ESs. STDs came up not much later. We have always been open and honest about bodies, reproduction, etc. [/quote] How weird that your kids were aboe to see that you had your period.[/quote] Why is that weird? My kids followed me into the bathroom as soon as they could move. And I couldn’t wear tampons after my pregnancies so they saw my pads. It wasn’t a big deal at all. Your kids have never seen you wear a pad or tampon? Or do you get sent out to the menstruation hut? [/quote] How old are your kids now and do they still follow you into the bathroom? Why do you not set boundaries?[/quote] They are teens/tweens and occasionally pop in to ask a question but generally are self sufficient now. [b]You locked your toddlers out while you used the bathroom? Why? [/b] Everyone pees and poops. Most mothers get periods. It’s no big deal. No menstruation hits here. [/quote] Toddlers? No. You said your 8 year old could see your period. I didn’t allow my 8 year old in the bathroom with me for privacy reasons. [/quote] I never said 8 yo. I never close the door in my bathroom. Kids have followed me in there since they could walk. They still pop their head in for a quick question 16 years later. We discussed periods pretty early on. 3-4ish. You shut your 3-4 yo out of the bathroom? [/quote] I don’t have a 3-4 year old. My kids are 9 and 12 and do not pop into the bathroom when I am in there. At these ages, it is appropriate for an adult, including a parent, to shut the door to the bathroom for privacy. If they have a question. They usually call it out while my bathroom door is closed. So no, they wouldn’t see me having a period or getting a pad.[/quote] Your kids were NEVER in the bathroom with you when they were younger? Speaking of people who sound like they don’t have kids… [/quote]
