To ask...What do you mum's refer to your vaginas as to your little kids?!

[Zara87]

Not even sure this is allowed... but I have an almost 3yo who is now noticing and asking questions about how I wee without a willy!
He keeps saying stuff like "you do a wee out of your that bit" and pointing. I just want something to refer to it as, which doesn't sound ridiculous. I know it is called a vagina but i don't really want to call it that to him, I'm not sure why but it kind of sounds wrong at age 2. My mum used to call it 'a Mary' which i don't like!
Does anyone have any suggestions

[Hedgehogblues]

...you don't wee out of your vagina

Are you serious?


Ah.. Probably not.

[Onestep2]

Fairy? Lady garden? Foofa? Hooha? Lady bits?

[SoleBizzz]

Ugh..

[MsJolly]

Penny/fou fou/twinkle etc take your pick

[MrsTerryPratcett]

Use the proper names. Please, it's absolutely fine.

[Zara87]

@Hedgehogblues thanks for the anatomy lesson but I'm sure you're not quite so daft that you didn't understand the gist of what I'm getting at

I have 6 children. I have never felt the need for any of them to watch me pee. What kind of fresh hell is this?

[RestingButchFace]

I only have 2 girls but when they were very little they were just bits. As they got older 6 ish I told them the real name and which hole did which prompted by them asking how I had a wee with a tampon in when they saw me on my period. We still call them bits now and my eldest is 19 but she has been aware of the biological names since around 6. There is nothing wrong with him calling it a vagina though.

[IWantMyHatBack]

Well...you did say -

"you do a wee out of your that bit" and pointing. I just want something to refer to it as, which doesn't sound ridiculous. I know it is called a vagina but i don't really want to call it that to him,"

I'm.having the same issue, 1 and 3 yr old boys. The 1 yr old tilts his head and says "where your Willy gone?" . 3 yr old asks if I wee out of my bum.

We use Willy for penis but not am sure what word to use for me!

[ShatnersBalloonFromPennywise]

Mine has never come up in conversation. Everyone else's is a vagina (the whole undercarriage area - please, do correct me, it will make you feel so knowledgeable).

[ferntwist]

Reasonable question. I think it’s good that more children are growing up using the real words, vagina and penis. Why not just use vagina, it’s not rude?

[Camsie30]

We call it her vagina. Which I know isn't entirely anatomically correct but I prefer it to vulva. I can't bear silly, infantile words for women's genitalia. I'm pregnant with a boy and his will be called penis.

[Henrysmycat]

The outside is the vulva. Vagina is the inside.
When mine was young, it was know as the fanny. (Sorry Fanny Ardant) Once she grew up and her vocabulary grew, I told her the real terms to use.

[Sparrowlegs248]

Why vagina though? It's both really accurate is it?

[Sparrowlegs248]

not

[Zara87]

@Pennyarcade jesus Christ. I am lucky if I pee in peace between him and my baby. If not pee then shower in peace. My 2yo understands I don't have a willy, not sure what's so odd about that.

[InspectorIkmen]

I’m not sure what you’re getting at even if Hedgehog is. You’re presumably old enough to have had a child so it shouldn’t be beyond you to find ou and use the correct name for the part of your anatomy to which you refer. How hard can it be

[RestingButchFace]

pennyarcade I wish, my only toilet is downstairs and I have never put a lock on it (not sure why) Out shopping if I needed the toilet when they were younger I wold bring them in the cubicle rather than risk them.wandering off. 6 kids and never seen you pee... you should write a guide. That is not sarcasm but genuine admiration!

Hahahhahahaha how on earth haveyiu managed to wee uninterrupted for all this time?!

[pleasegotowork]

My 8 year old calls it 'my bajina ' which is so darned cute I can't possibly correct her. 'My bulva' just isn't as cute.

I do agree though that the correct words are probably best. It was front bum and back bum when I was growing up.

[NoMudNoLotus]

It just baffles me as to why grown women cant use the proper terms with their children.
