It's not called that

It's vulva

We don't refer to boys urethras do we?

YANBU! I was apoplectic with rage when Dr Christian from Embarrassing bodies was asking women if they washed their vaginas before they went out - then scolded them as it was all self-cleaning + shouldn't be douched- when if he'd clarified the vulva/vagina question in the first goddamn place. ...And breathe.....

Another thing to be judged about as a parent, ffs people get a grip. If your talking about educating a 2 year old then YADBU, a 12 year old, YANBU.

So Bellablot, you give your child incorrect information from the age of 2 and then when they are 12 tell them that you deliberately misinformed them because that is what everyone else does - madness!
