Just like I'm uncomfortable with the idea of smacking the both of you across the mouth and not wanting to do so, does not make me chicken. But as with the bigger talk....I'll still do it....and I'll smack ya both in the face when I'm done!! WOOHOO!!!

It really is his job, not mine--and I don't want to step on any toes. :) <br /><br />But, I offered because if Mike is just that big a chicken, and if you didn't feel comfortable doing it either, it's better that Josh hear it from somebody.

You'd get over the fear of this convo with your son pretty quickly. It's true they spend a lot of the time not listening, but you never know what might sink in. And it's better to tell them the real deal--I got some very scary questions from my students that made me thankful SOMEONE was telling them what info was crap. <br /><br />While he may not be interested in girls yet, I think it's better to have the talk well in advance...and more than once. Talk to him about sex now--since he's not so interested you can focus on the clinical details & reproduction--then as he gets a bit more interested in girls you can talk about its other aspects, and possible consequences. <br /><br />And if you are still WAAAY too freaked out about this whole thing, you can be a neglectful dad, and I'll fill him in on the details over Christmas break :bBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796396801925494809noreply@blogger.com
