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

[BocaDeTrucha]

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?

Hi Boca, your son may have phimosis. It's when the shaft of the penis appears to buried in the skin. With one of my ds's, urine would get trapped and balloon the testicle area. Both my ds's had it, and were operated on. Warning -this is not a small op. However results were good, older son gone through puberty and all looks normal. some posters have odd attitude ... It's understandable to be concerned. DM me if you need to

How long is this tshirt? if it's not much above the knee then I don't actually see the problem IF reliably potty trained. no one would be able to tell he had no pants on. however you said accidents are still likely in which case unless you are in your own home i think it is not pleasant for the general public. you either put a nappy/pants on or stay at home imo.

Thanks, fairfat, for your comment and advice . I'll look into it. Glad your two got things sorted.

NRTFT but I have to ask re naked children in the blistering sun - do people not worry about their bits getting burnt? Can hardly put suncream on their bits, especially not a girl?

If this is a stupid observation forgive me, we dont do the naked kids thing!

Piper the OP said, in response to the numerous people who asked about sunscreen, "Of course I put sunscreen all over him".

had all of mine in a headlock

There are better ways of promoting dental hygiene in the young.

Am amaaaaaaazed at all the 'put some drawers on him' posts

My youngest is 11 so I'm out of the loop, but when mine were small it used to be really common to be/see bare arsed tots running about

(in the park/garden/sea-not marks and sparks)

My youngest is 13. I don't remember seeing many naked toddlers other than maybe on the beach. Not in the park though. I didn't let mine run around naked except maybe in the back garden for ten minutes.

We saw two naked children on holiday recently, and I know it made my DS feel uncomfortable.

I once went to a birthday party, there was a little girl (circa 4/5) who was completely NUDE

her parents airily said "oh little Sophie loves being naked", and let her have her own way

at a birthday party! all the other parents were very embarrassed and did not know where to look!

yup, I proudly wore my judgey pants that day, fucking bellends

oh no I thought that story was going to be about dd2, fromparis!

But dd2 was about 3, wearing a jaunty party hat (and nothing else) and I was suitably horrified.

pinktruffle, if the naked kids were about 15, I'd understand, but if they were under two, like mine, I'd wonder what on earth made them so 'uncomfortable'.

OH, another tale. when DS was tiny I wanted him to be nude at the seaside but family kept asking me to dress him in his shorts. Then the family pointed out an old man who went to that beach EVERY day- and lay there with him mobile - the suspicion was he was covertly taking photos. I photographed him the fucker, and put DS shorts back on

ah, forgot all about that little headfuck till I read this!

it was in NOVEMBER! hazey

Ah, at least this was mid June!

The birthday party wasn't even for a child we knew very well, and I suddenly heard someone say, 'who on earth owns that child with no clothes on??!!'

The awful thing is, I knew that it would be dd2, and when I turned round - there she was, buck nekkid with a pointy party hat on bogling to 'Under the Sea'

Because he isn't used to naked children in front of him?

there is a HUGE difference between kids in and around a paddling pool (yes, I let my kids go nude in my garden- that peado with the long range camera is not stopping us!) and mid bloody winter! It was so awkward!

It's a bit weird that he's bothered pink truffle. How old is he and how old were the little kids? If they were tinies I'm surprised he even noticed- unless it's something you comment on so it's made him more aware.

He's eight; of course he noticed.

Hmm. 'Noticed' yes, 'bothered' is different. I can imagine 8 year olds noticing but none I know would be overly concerned/bothered. Sounds like he's picked up on your uptightness- or maybe you're ascribing feelings to him that just aren't there.
