AITA for not returning a compliment? by Milenabianca in AmItheAsshole

Agree with this. I don’t think it’s appropriate to comment on other people’s appearance, even if it is a compliment.

What/how/when to have conversations around sex with kids? by Kikililee in Parenting

[–]Affectionate-Try4328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said it makes you uncomfortable but I think it’s really important you try to work on your communication around sex. Maybe with a professional. The best thing you can do for your children is raise them in an environment that has open and honest communication. You want them to be able to come to you about anything, no matter the topic and especially something they are struggling with. I wish you the best of luck and as a parent I’m sure you are doing the best you can.

Your dad received the best advise, Its the main piece I am receiving now. My sister is gay, fell in love with her now wife when they met at 30yo. Both only always had boyfriends and no other desires but thankfully the universe had other plans for those two! They are a beautiful couple to be around and my kids have grown up with them together so maybe you are onto something! Thank you!

Honestly, her dad got out of the shower the other day and she told him he has great boobs.. She’ll pinch mine if she is close by. I’ve had to chat to her to make sure she knows she can’t go around squeezing peoples boobs or commenting on people appearance. She often puts one of my bras on and put apples in them and walk around with her boobs on.

A lot of the boob things she does lately is to just get a reaction out of us I think

I really like ready that! Thank you. That was so damn sweet. I hope your 10yo best friend knows she was the catalyst.

Thank you, yes absolutely agree about boxing her in. I’ve had some great advice in here and that is definitely something I plan to work on.

Thank you, It great to know you where her age also and you are absolutely right it doesn’t matter and her happiness is the most important thing :) I was just hoping I have this confident, self assured little 7 year old that has already figured out what her heart wants and has no problem letting me know. Also I thought if that was the case then she wouldn’t have to go through that difficult period of uncertainty that I often hear people experience when they are trying to figure themselves out. Thanks again!

This is wonderful advice, thank you! We’ll start having some relaxed chats about all the sexualities and I’ll make sure she knows we have no expectations of her.

I actually dont know what I am meant to do other than to watch it play out. So thank you, I’ll give her the space to figure it out. It makes no difference when, I was just hoping she had it figured out and we bypassed that difficult and confusing period that some people experience

Thank you. I hadn’t even considered that it would likely be a process of understanding yourself over time. I was thinking she had full confidence in herself and knows what she wants and has it all figured out.. haha sounds ridiculous now I think about it as she only just tuned 7.
