Boys should be encouraged to sleep with their arms out of the covers to prevent masturbation......

[northerner]

According to a book called Mothers and Sons I got of Amazon. Started reading it last night and it is complete and utter tosh.

Do not buy it.

Also, a mother should not ever get undressed or go to teh loo in the presence of her young son as they will be more likely to 'suffer' from homosexuality when older.

WTF?

I was laughing out loud at how shit it is. Wonder if anyone takes it seriously?

lol

how do they insist their arms stay out of the covers?

if the loo thing was true, I reckon most men would turn out homosexual

So I suppose we mustn't breast feed our sons?

I got given a book that was pretty old but has info on every subject.

When we got it we opened it a random page which was about masturbation, and the guidelines said 'make sure if you catch your son masturbating for the first time you don't laugh at him, wait till he is finished and then sit him down and discuss.....'

LOL!

Oh for fuck sake. I share a bath with my son and daughter (4 and 9 months respectively) does that mean they'll both turn out gay when they're older?

My parents were never frightened about going to loo infront of me, or about covering up infront of me. Ah does that mean I'm gay too?

Also there was some clap trap about how a mother should not rub her sons back as it is inappropriate.

Bear thugs are OK though.

I'm tempted to read more due to teh absoluete shiteness of it tbh.

which one is it northerner??

I'm amazed. Are they descendants of Mr Kellog himself?

this one

Amazon gives othing away about the shitty content tbh. It's very religious.

when on EARTH was it published?
and anyway, are boys too stupid to work out how to put their arms back under the covers???

Published in 2001 I think.

Tis total clap trap. But scary to think some folk might beleive it....

Hmm, from the cover it looks ok huh? But you know what they say...

Raising Boys (Biddulph) is good

LOL at MrsJC - the thought of a boy lying there desperately trying to work out how to get his arm under the covers!

Ah, so THAT'S where DH's mother went wrong...

and it really does look so normal from the link....however, I do see you can buy it from 4p - never a good sign!

PMSL - what a load of nonsense.

How did it ever get published???

OMG what shite
if you show your sons no love they will reject you surly
not rubbing their backs whf
and as much as i dont want to think of it masbubation is a normal thing for boys to do
oh well ..............

There's a whole section for sinle moms too and stepmoms, wonder wht gems are in there.....

OMG northerner, fill us in. It probably says if you are as stepmum, you can't live in the same street as your stepson!!!!

My dd touches herself more often than my ds ever has.
Masturbation is as normal for girls as boys.
How not to raise sexually confident adults...
Ho hum

Northerner, you must fill in the review section on Amazon, and really slate it, so nobody else wastes their money.
I am sort of laughing at this, but actually feel more that this sort of advice is still given out.

weird..real weird...is it culty religious sponsored?
dont have time to read all this just now...will do later...
