Please reassure me as I am in a bit of a state
I am a regular - judgeflounce, fruitshoots, vaunda, moldiegate etc etc
DH just came home from picking the kids up from afterschool club (2 boys, 7 and 5)
apparently the play leader took him aside very seriously and said that our boys had been playing "making babies" and had been lying one on top of the other and pretending to make a baby etc
she seemed very concerned that it was inappropriate that they had so much graphic knowledge etc and had questioned them about how they knew
I have in fact told both boys all about sexual reproduction and they know about periods too - I've always believed in answering children's questions honestly and without embarrassment and ds1 had read Claire Rayner's "body book" (which details the sex act complete with illustrations) by the time he was 5
I am now crapping myself that this is going to turn into a child protection investigation and dont know what the hell I can do about it
apparently when asked ds1 said it was a game they play with their friend X - X is a couple of years older than ds1 and has an older brother, so it wouldn't surprise me if she had a fair bit of knowledge, but I'd never seen or heard them playing any such games
but I do remember a chat in the bathroom about 10 days ago where ds2 asked me how the daddy puts the seed inside the mummy so it can meet the egg, and I told him the truth in a very basic matter of fact way (ds1 already knew)
am I in deep shit here? we are both really rattled
