[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 399052, member: 1233"] My husband is, in my opinion, a total a**hole about this. He REFUSES to discuss anything related to this with our sons. With Wiz it wasn't much of an issue - he and I had an extremely close relationship when he was younger (up unitl we lived with my parents and my mother managed to really really interfere). Wiz also had urinary surgery that was seriously botched (no long term problems, but a huge amt of trauma) at age 2. So he and I talked about how that part worked, what it was supposed to do, etc... At age 5 or 6 we were driving home late at night and he asked about sex. He kept asking so I kept answering. It seemed to be enough. I DO remember when he was about 3 he figured out what an erection was. When I explained the purpose (in 3yo terms) and that it was supposed to do that, he thought I was the biggest idiot in the world. He actually called my father about it - this was the first time husband refused to even discuss the issue and I was caught totally off guard. After a chat with Gpa (primed by me), Wiz settled down. But we didn't have any questions at the onset of puberty because he asked them years before. With thank you, well, he has asked some questions. He asks husband and husband tells him to ask me or to ask him later. So recently thank you started calling Wiz. thank you and I have spoken, and he has asked Jess a few things, but mostly he prefers to talk to his older bro. I have picked up a couple of different books about it and for now he seems fairly comfortable. I just have NO idea why my husband is being such a total idiot and jerk about refusing to discuss this - and it is one of the very few things we have really battled about in the last couple of years. You know your kid. Take a look at books on amazon and in the bookstore - there are a LOT of them and the "right" one(s) will depend on your child pretty much. I knwo that at one point we had the "what's happening to my body book" - it comes in a boys edition and a girls edition. [/QUOTE]
