      Wait oh you mean you’ve seen your dad’s genitals.

      While I never showered with my dad or mum, my parents were never ashamed of their bodies and ran around the house naked all the time so I’ve seen my dad’s too. I didn’t closely inspect them though so for all I know they might be surgically constructed.

        I guess I had a lot of dick questions growing up and also having a dick myself got the foreskin talk and associated instructions. Obviously this is all pre pre teen before it gets weird

        Not in my experience. I’ve pieced some things together, but unless I directly asked or it was relevant like medical history, my parents don’t really talk about their childhoods.

          Your dad not being your biological father is medically relevant. Not saying the kid was unaware of that though.

        Usually not, maybe later, shame and whatnot (substitute drug use for a realistic comparison).

        ETA I did tell (feel free to guess what, you’re probably wrong) when my kid hit the twenties, and gave relevant hints along the way so it wasn’t a surprise, which were not delved into by kiddo by their choice. But it’s a personal choice (medical issues aside) and extremely personal in it’s implementation and down to cases. This is personal morals, not societal ethics.

        Back off (not OP, reasonable query, just everyone, not your business and it shouldn’t be, unless there’s harm, sensitive stuff that takes careful handling, this is one of the reasons why privacy should be a right).

        Many will make mistakes here, and that’s OK if done in good faith. time will heal. If you’re a bigoted ahole (either generation) maybe less so, but even that can happen, give it a chance.

        They may learn stuff about drugs somewhere, its not usually in the classroom.

        Better to have a conversation about it in the house and give your child the information to have a better understanding.

        At least that’s my opinion.

          I too am worried about my children overdosing on HRT and becoming addicts.

          Remember kids HRT can completely change who you are, one day you’ll wake up, look in the mirror and see a completely different person looking back at you. Is that really what you want to happen?
