Having Sunday lunch, today and we got talking with Ds11, about 'snitching '. He was very vocal about his dislike of snitches. He said that he knew a secret about Dh, and he wouldn't tell, as Dh wouldn't like it. After much hilarity and Dh insisting that he had no secrets from me, and that he wouldn't be at bothered if Ds shared the secret, Ds blurts out that while using Dh's phone, to watch YouTube, he discovered that Dh's last search had been Tess Daley's tits..... Without missing a beat, Dh said, 'I'll get my coat...'I nearly wet myself

Yep totally Albus - because, you know, boys will be boys.

And soooooo boring of women who don't laugh along.

Whatthefunk · 04/11/2018 20:35

I wouldn't dream of trying to teach yo anything, as you clearly know everything.

I'm female and straight but now wondering if I Google Tess Dalys tits what will appear. I bet it's this thread Grin

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 04/11/2018 20:39

Yes ffs and girls will be girls and kids will be kids and people will be people and horses will be horses.
Some people will find things funny some people won't because humans will be human.

I grew up with an older brother. Confused

Echobelly · 04/11/2018 20:41

I find it pretty funny, I just think people need to understand that it's OK for people to have different levels of tolerance.

Yes, some people find their OH looking up celebrity tits dreadful, disrespectful and A Serious Issue for their relationship. And they're allowed to feel that way. For some other people, it's a non-issue and they know they have a perfectly secure relationship even if their OH googles famous norks - and that's fine for them.

I think it's the involvement of the 11 year old child that people are a bit  over.

Howhot · 04/11/2018 20:43

I find it funny because thank god that isn't my OH.

Whatthefunk · 04/11/2018 20:44

I so find it a non issue. I'd much rather be open and relaxed about these things, in the hope that Ds will always talk freely. I wouldn't have chosen this to come out over a lovely roast dinner, but hey ho

No older brother here just parents who thought it was OK for a pre-teen me to watch the likes of Dick Emery.

I wouldn't find any male in my family searching for porn to be funny.
Being dropped in it by his son though - priceless.

Being open and relaxed is fine. Your dad googling for tits? Not so fine.

Sparklingbrook · 04/11/2018 20:47

I would wonder what else he had been Googling.

Flyaway78 · 04/11/2018 20:48

Is she’s known for her ‘tits’? News to me. Kinda grim the 11 year old was in on the joke though.

ShesABelter · 04/11/2018 20:48

Hahaha me and my husband are gutting ourselves!

Whatthefunk · 04/11/2018 20:48

We shall never know.....

11 year old wasn't in on the joke. He knew it was something wrong, but spilled when pressed

OP posts:
siakcaci · 04/11/2018 20:51

How was he not in on this? He is the one who saw it? He told you about it?

Children don't really need that kind of example from a parent.

Sparklingbrook · 04/11/2018 20:52

I think I would worry that the 11 year old will tell his mates, the mates will tell their parents and his Dad will be known as 'the one who Googles celebrity tits'. Sad

ShesABelter · 04/11/2018 20:52

Sparklingbrook why he's a grown man he can google what he likes without being policed by his wife!

Johnnyfinland · 04/11/2018 20:53

Oh ffs I’ve googled naked celebrity men it’s hardly the crime of the century is it to want I look at someone you find attractive in little clothing. He wasn’t searching for porn. It is funny

Deadringer · 04/11/2018 20:53

11 year old wasn't in on the joke me neither, what was the joke?

Sparklingbrook · 04/11/2018 20:53

Of course he can ShesABelter wouldn't stop me wondering though.

brizzledrizzle · 04/11/2018 20:54

He wasn’t searching for porn

On what planet are pictures of naked people not porn?

CardinalCat · 04/11/2018 20:54

Not sure where to start with this really.
Are you sure you're ok with this OP? Seems like an odd thing to post.
While most 11 year olds will certainly have noticed that breasts exist and have sexual connotations, the scenario you describe is quite bleak. Although not as disturbing as your attempts to turn it into some kind of "we're so cool and liberated, what a laugh" thing. There is nothing cool about your pre-pubescent child being given a window into your husband's fantasy predilections. I guess at least it wasn't Stormy Daniels.
