Being annoyed at DH for constantly referring to our 3 year olds erections?

[1ittlegreen]

Whenever my ds gets an erection dh says something like "oooh you could have someone's eye out with that" or similar. Ds looks slightly confused and I think it's too soon to be drawing attention to things like that.
AIBU to try and stop my DH for saying these things? Don't want ds to start feeling ashamed...

I was only joking when I posted that some people and their imaginations.

He's not just 'commenting on his son' - he's making smutty sexual remarks about a 3 year old.
Disgusting

What sexual remarks??
Don't exaggerate what was said.
Some Blokes make comments like that. God knows why, but they do.
They probably do it even more in front of their mates. I have heard more than one man announce to everyone their new born ds has a 'big one' It seems to make them very proud.
Your DH is either proud of hiding a bit of embarrassment by being OTT. He isn't weird or creepy, just daft.
Just tell him to stop because it is childish to keep repeating it.

Really???? Are these posters for real??? A paedophile?

Op I would ask MN to remove this thread, it's getting ridiculous.

It doesn't sound like the boy in the OP is being shamed or made to feel guilty.

All the OP mentioned was that he's confused by it. She thinks her husband is doing it to cover his own embarrassment, and their son will pick up on that as he gets older. Even at this age, having his dad constantly point it out for no reason is going to make him give it more headspace than he should.

The husband needs to grow up and can it.

Proud OR hiding....not of hiding...

You are VERY wrong for accusing him of being a paedophile.

Even though what he has said is weird and very inappropriate, being an adult something like that shouldn't come to mind.

I do think he is messing around just tell him to rein it in. Ignore the recent posts they are being weird and immature.

Of course the man may just find his son's erection funny
That would be too simple though wouldn't it?
Much better to conclude he is a weird creep with sinister undertones.

Give me strength I've said it about ds when he was parading around the front room treating us all to ' the willy show' - his words not mine.

I wouldn't say anyone here is being weird and immature - I just think they are very concerned, if DP was to say that about our son, I wouldn't take it joke.

Wow this thread is getting a bit weird.

Just because you might be a pillock doesn't make you a pediphile FFS!

Heaven forbid you can have a laugh!

My son loves running around naked I laugh when he does it. I worry about him pissing on my carpet. He's a little terror.

Blimey, all boys and men are obsessed with their winkies from day one ...

not all of them by any means.

Its not just boys that are obsessed with their genitals. Dd will spend a good half hour examining her vulva/vagina/outer labia or whatever you're supposed to call it in mn land.

*as a joke

Wow you say that as if it is something normal and something that all boys do - My DS is 6 and he has no interest in his what so ever.

It IS normal for a three year old to parade around naked dancing, it's equally normal for kids not to.

Well, this thread took a helluva swerve.

So I think we have established that: some little boys (like mine) are aware of/ focused their penises and the fact they get erections (my six year old gets quite uncomfortable sometimes), and some either don't get erections or don't seem to notice when they do. Can people from either camp just accept that not all children are like theirs?

Yep same here.

Nina- you're completely right, some girls are equally interested .

"Yep same here." What, while you're on MN? I know women are supposed to be good at multi-tasking, but really

My Mum didn't let my brother have a shower ever because she discovered that the water spray caused an erection. What that did to him I don't know, but it can't be a healthy attitude (he was allowed a bath, incidentally).

DS3, who is 7, loves to lie in the bath playing with his penis, marvelling at how big it gets. We have to ask him to stop playing with it when he gets out, simply so we can get his nappy on properly. We try and be as matter of fact about it, acknowledging that it's a norm, healthy thing, whilst not drawing attention to it.

But this little boy ISN'T one of the fascinated-by-his-willy children, and his father is making an issue out of it. That's why it's a problem.
