To ask you what age you had "the talk"

DS is 9. 10 in Dec. Some stuff has been going on at school that has resulted in some name calling / jibes with sexual undertones. That is a separate matter and we are dealing with that at the school. A lot of the other boys have older brothers. Which is where we assume they picked this up.

I know DS knows they were not nice things to say. But he doesn't know what they mean.

I tentatively think DH and I should sit down and have the talk with DS. DH thinks it's too young.

Would love to hear what the wise people of MN think and when you told your DCs, how you did it etc?

That's a good point and i will bring it up next time we are discussing the subject.

FWIW I have spoken to DS and he has no idea what any of the words mean, has never seen porn (ffs) and didn't find the subject embarrassing. Just boring. I've asked a few more mothers at the school and none of them have had full on chats about penetration etc. So I think we're doing fine.

Will continue on with bits as and when they come up.

Thanks for your input.
