[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mommies get a grip. No one is saying your pediatrician is going to become your child's bestie and he will magically open up about sex, gay thoughts, and drug use in the 3 min he gets alone with the dr. I don't even think it's important if a kid opens up to a dr. or not -- that's not the non parent adult they're going to for help in real life -- but I do think 12 or 13 year olds deserve privacy as much as you do. Do you like people in an exam room staring at you when the dr checks your breasts or you must spread your legs? Honestly do you like it even for innocuous things like checking your abdomen? Do you normally invite your DH and your mommy to watch? If not then why not give your kids that same respect? And if you can't trust your ped alone with your kid for an entire physical that takes 10 min max, start looking for another dr.[/quote]

It depends on the person.  I preferred my mom or dad in the room as a teen.  My preteen prefers us in the room and they don't care.  I would prefer one of us in the room as its safety for the child if someone is touching a child's privates.[/quote]
