To think my mother laughing at my son's private parts is extremely inappropriate

[Datedthedevil]

I was on holiday with my 68 year old mother last week. One evening whilst changing my three year old son's nappy she walked over, pointed at his bits, laughed and said 'it's like a penis only smaller'

I yelled at her and told her it was very inappropriate and isn't at all funny as it will give him a complex and it's cruel and unkind.

She says he doesn't understand but I don't care. I don't think you should do this to a child.

I was then criticised for being miserable with no sense of humour and a bitch. Am I being unreasonable?

Yes. I don't flinch at hating 'elbow' or 'forehead' so why should I flinch at saying willy? Genitalia is part of life. It isn't 1916.

3 year olds have little feet, little hands....and little willies. I was surprised at how little my baby's willy was.

Not ok to laugh at children's genitals. It's a strange and unkind thing to do.
