OK, i know this is a bit silly but DD has spent a lot of summer with no nappy on and as she is getting into naming parts of the body i realised last night i dont know what to call her 'front bottom'.

any suggestions???

lillymolly, a knee cap is an accepted common term, as is finger.
A flower, however, is something that grows in the garden or is cut in a vase.

They didn't really blame porn in that programme (I mean, you get a huge variety in fannies in porn anyway) but they seemed to blame no one ever seeing anyone else's fannies properly and also waxing (ie you tend to see more what's there nowadays, rather than just loads of hair).

I think young girls put more pressure on themselves full stop re: all aspects of their appearance, so I guess it's whatever you think causes that.

It was (surprisingly) quite a decent, thought provoking programme.

oh I know just trying to have a joke!!

At the end of the day we will call it what we like, we will not rear a generation of women who have major psychosexual trauma because us terrible mothers in 2008 dare not use the correct nomenclature

Again?

I think mnhq should install a system whereby anyone who starts a thread along these lines is automatically directed to archives instead of startign a a new thread.

lilymolly · 18/08/2008 12:07

I am correct in thinking anyone can start a thread about anything on mumsnet no??
Yes it has been done to death as have 100s of other topics.

If it bothers you

Just use vagina/penis and bottom if you can give it a made up name you can use the correct title, also when your child starts school if God forbid they hurt themselves or worst case some one touches or worst they will be able to tell police/social workers exactly what happen,sorry to be such a big doom and gloom.
