AIBU?

To not like other children commenting on the size of ds's penis

249 replies

BocaDeTrucha · 06/08/2015 00:04

We're on holiday at the moment and ds is a chubby little 22 months old so most of the time naked. In the last 2 days I've had the following comments: "why is his willy so small?" from a little girl, about 4 years old. And today, the little boy in the bungalow next to ours who has spent 3 days playing with ds, asked " is 'Bob' a boy or a girl?" and when I replied he was a boy, the little boy said "so why doesn't he have a willy?".

Gee, it's not that small!! I got a bit peeved but dh just told me to stop being ridiculous. Am I being ridiculous?

Why is his willy on display?
Kids ask questions.
Willies are very funny to them.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 06/08/2015 00:07

Pu some pants on him if you don't like it

WorraLiberty · 06/08/2015 00:11

Yes of course you're being ridiculous

Why would you care if small children think your toddler has a small penis?

TurnOverTheTv · 06/08/2015 00:14

Yes you're being ridiculed

Happfeet2911 · 06/08/2015 00:15

Of course you're being ridiculous, he may well grow up to be 'bob schlong'

Haggisfish · 06/08/2015 00:16

Ridiculous.

LittleBearPad · 06/08/2015 00:16

You're being ridiculous and put some shorts on him. Problem solved.

BocaDeTrucha · 06/08/2015 00:17

His willy is on display because it's hot and he's running around outside in the garden, by pool etc all day.

I don't know why I'm bothered really. Just like if they were saying he's got a really big nose, or sticky out ears. I guess I don't want people to find things to tease him about.

Put some clothes on him then.

msgrinch · 06/08/2015 00:20

clothe your child and stop being ridiculous, kids ask brutal questions. Why on earth would you care about the size of a 22 month olds (or any males) penis.

WorraLiberty · 06/08/2015 00:21

But they're kids...asking you questions that's all.

If it bothers you, then I agree you should cover him up. Not least because his penis will probably be sensitive to the sun.

HuftysTrain · 06/08/2015 00:21

Shared garden? Shared pool? That's not very nice to have him naked in front of other people. Not everyone finds that cute - or hygienic.

ReginaBlitz · 06/08/2015 00:21

Yabu for letting your child be naked around strangers what's the difference putting a pair of pants on him?. You are talking about little kids making comments though my kids wouldn't say that to a stranger. I don't see where the issue is here, if they said "why has he got his willy out?"as apposed to "oh look at his tiny willy!"would you care as much?

msgrinch · 06/08/2015 00:23

I'm hot, ds is hot, tiny nephew is hot... genitals are covered for everyone's sake.

Summerisle1 · 06/08/2015 00:24

If his penis is attracting this much attention I'd be inclined to put some pants over it.

BocaDeTrucha · 06/08/2015 00:25

I don't care about it's size one bit, but I guess I am being ridiculous worrying about him being teased about it.

OP posts:

WorraLiberty · 06/08/2015 00:28

He's not even 2 years old yet

Why are you worrying he might get teased over it?

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that it sounds as though you feel your DS has an abnormally small penis, is that right?

If that's the case, then a trip to the doctor or HV might put your mind at rest.

BocaDeTrucha · 06/08/2015 00:30

Going off initial thread now, I'm in Spain and never gave it a moments thought about having him naked. Go to the beach or round a pool anywhere here and most kids under 5 are naked, except when they go in the water and mine wears his swimming nappy. Do people really get offended by naked toddlers?

OP posts:

msgrinch · 06/08/2015 00:30

Clearly you do as you've made a thread about it. He's only a baby, just pop some pants on him and stop worrying

WorraLiberty · 06/08/2015 00:31

Some get offended but I don't.

I would however worry about exposing it to the sun

BocaDeTrucha · 06/08/2015 00:33

Yes, Worra, I do think that but it doesn't bother me. Just don't want him to be teased. I will speak to the doctor on his 2 year visit.

Put a swim nappy on him and job done. Worrying about a two year old's penis seems bit silly.

msgrinch · 06/08/2015 00:33

No I don't, I wouldn't care a bit but I do think you have to accept that young children will make comments as that's what children do. I'd also worry that the sensitive skin may be damaged by the sun. my child was running free on holiday with a hat, pants and suncream.

RealityCheque · 06/08/2015 00:36

I hate to see kids running around naked. It's unhygienic and completely unnecessary.

You are putting him in the position for comments by your actions
