LMAO! My husband and I thought it was because we're part of the Beavis and Butthead generation that the word boobies reverts us both to a couple of giggling 3rd gradersMusic-dad said:I use the term boobies and I'm 41
kidding....sortof
It continues to baffle me how some people think the proper terms are offensive. Wow.... It's sad that a 9 yr. old girl has no idea what a vagina is. Well actually, this particular girl has gotten the message that whatever it is, it's very BAD.ivybendorf said:Actually, I read a news article last year about a mother driving past a theater with her 9 yr old daughter. "The Vagina Monologues" was on the marquee, and the daughter had never seen the word before. So she asked, 'Mom, what is a vagina?' Mom proceeded to flip out, tell her never to use that word, and immediately turned the vehicle around to berate the manager of the theater for exposing 'that language' to her little girl. The marquee was changed to read "The Hooha Monologues" for the remainder of the engagement. Isn't that a defeat of the whole production?!?!
Seems that is just the beginning of teaching that poor child that her body is "bad."

I'm writing an article about what parents teach their kids to call their private parts. I'd really appreciate it if you all could let me know what you decided to teach your kids (as well as why). Thanks so much!

In high school one of my friends wasnt allowed to attend sex ed calsses, her parents were scarily over-protective though. She had to go to the library and do 'individual study' during the classes. Didnt exactly achieve much, as soon as the class ended we told her all about everything she missed.Xero said:budnkota - Believe it or not, my mom actually wouldn't let any of her kids but me go to the sex ed class they gave them in - what is it? 6th or 7th or 8th grade? LOL I don't remember. But I always thought she was rediculous for doing that. I can't remember why I went. I was the oldest, and also the most mature, so maybe she didn't care. Actually I might have already somehow known everything they could tell me lol. A lot of my siblings were immature but there's no reason for that still. It's stupid.
When my Mom signed my permission slip, I was so exited about Sex Ed Class, When I finally found out it was all processes, and scientific names and other science crapola, I realized it was just another class.AmyBelle said:In high school one of my friends wasnt allowed to attend sex ed calsses, her parents were scarily over-protective though.
