no, i didn't cringe. i remember being amazed we were talking about all of that stuff but at the same time so thrilled that she felt comfortable enough to ask me about it. they would NEVER ask their father. he would do a dilbert~! i have never reacted in such a way so as to discourage them asking anything. that is why i studiously remain matter of fact and casual, through the blowjob discussion, the masturbation discussion etc. I get xsboy alone in the car on the way to hockey practice and that is my soapbox. He says MOMMY WE HAVE BEEN OVER THIS ALREADY. i said, listen, obviously i am still concerned about it, so we will discuss it til i feel that you have gotten the point!
Yep, xs. I did the same to my son on the way to hockey practice...and for a while there, practice was an hour away. Heh heh.
Kids in car = captive audience.
Funny, you have said that very thing to me.
