My wife and I have one child, a daughter who is 11.My wife has always been a fan of sex positivity and answering all her questions with honesty. I always thought it was a bit extreme. (Like when she was 7 and she walked in on us, and when she asked what we were doing my wife answered “mommy and daddy were having sex, head to your room and I’ll come talk to you about it in a couple minutes.”)Anyway, our daughters main chore is doing the dishes every night. The other night my wife was helping her, and I wasn’t intentionally listening but I did over hear them talking. And my daughter asked my wife a couple questions about masturbation. I’ll be honest, I was pretty freaked out. She’s only 11. Thankfully my wife didn’t miss a beat, she answered all her questions and had a good conversation with her about it.I was still a little freaked out, she is only 11. So I took a page from my daughters book and talked to my wife about it. I told her I had overheard them, and while I think it’s great she is so open with her I was a little concerned. She just seems so young. I do feel better about it now since talking to my wife.So anyway. The point is they grow up fast. And it turns out my wife was right, open positive communication about sex is a good thing. And my daughter definitely picked the right parent to have this conversation with. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2IJhFLX
