Kissed my butt?

AIBU to think this is bizarre?
I thought it was perhaps a bit funny at first but being a chronic over thinker i’m now wondering if this is a bit odd?

I went upstairs while my 4, almost 5 y/o brushed his teeth before bed and I had a wee at the same time. I got up and turned around to flush and hadn’t fully pulled my leggings up yet. Next thing I know he’s planted a kiss on my butt cheek.

AIBU to think Is this weird? Or is this just normal unpredictable random child behaviour?

I'd say it was probably a random impulsive thing, I would have a word with him though and tell him that it's inappropriate to do that as it's a private area etc.

SwingTheMonkey · 10/10/2024 19:53

He has no idea this isn’t appropriate so no, not weird at all. He loves you and wanted to kiss you, that’s all he was thinking. It’s a bit weird that you think it’s weird.
Start to talk about private parts being private in the coming days, he’ll learn what’s appropriate and what’s not.

Ha! My 4 year old would totally do this! To them a bum is the same as an arm or leg.

Didimum · 10/10/2024 20:03

Yeah my kids would definitely do that.

Mabs49 · 10/10/2024 20:04

That’s sweet. He feels secure and loved and is expressing his love for you 🥰

Mabs49 · 10/10/2024 20:04

four is a bit young to talk about private parts isn’t it?!

namechangetheworld · 10/10/2024 20:07

Good lord. He's four. You're his mother.

MSLRT · 10/10/2024 20:23

What a strange thing to post about. Talk about an over reaction to a child’s natural action.

PleaseAskSomeoneWhoGivesAFuck · 10/10/2024 20:27

Your butt? Water butt?

Yougetmoreofwhatyoufocuson · 10/10/2024 20:28

Kids do random weird stuff. Regularly.

Another weird thread.

Not at all. It's appropriate for children to know the correct names for their parts and that it's private. No great detail is needed, just a chat.

Catza · 10/10/2024 20:45

If you think it's normal to wee in front of a child of that age then surely you believe he has no concept of what is and isn't private.

pinkstripeycat · 10/10/2024 20:46

How many parents pretend bite their little ones bum cheek or their chubby leg? I did. If my 4 year old bit my bum cheek I would probably laugh and say “oooh cheeky” or something similar.

As PP said he sees it the same as an arm or a leg.

For me it’s way too young. So I disagree. Let them have their innocence.

Four is too old to talk about 'private parts'
Use proper terminology

Please be careful sharing any innocent stories in this thread.

SnowFrogJelly · 10/10/2024 21:46

Of course it's not weird 🙄

Edited

I've never pretended to bite my child's bum and yes I think it's weird.

Yep. A buttock is a ‘private part’ of your body. Unless you have yours out in public? Not sure wtf your problem is…

It's the infantile language.
Of course you explain that some parts of your body are not everyone's property, nor to be paraded in public, but your 'private parts'
