My Gril Says to Her Uncle "You Have to Pee Standing Up"

okay first I really really really really really wish you would clarify whether you have a 5 year old daughter or 5 year old son or twins and whether you have a 22 month old daughter or 22 month old son because you constantly bounce back and forth leading me to believe that you really don't have kids especially since in one post you say you are a new mom well if you have a 5 yr old then you are not a new mom.

A., you keep changing your name, changing your posts and changing what kids you have and what their ages are.

And people keep answering you.

You should find something productive to do with your time instead of writing fake questions on here. I have to say, you ARE entertaining though!

that some things are private so we don't talk about them with anyone besides Mom and Dad. If what you want to say is related to our privates, it's private.
When she tells you about what she's learned remind her about it being good to talk with you but not with others.

I wouldn't be too concerned about this lapse if she's comfortable with her uncle and he with her saying this.

BTW: some boys and men do pee sitting down. My granddaughter asked about his and her mother talked with her about differences and privacy too.

it's normal curiousity and "bragging about what she knows" my daughter used to say that, or somewhere she heard someone ask "where is your husband?" and was going around asking EVERYONE she passed (mainly family) some got offended and yelled at me behind her back-aunt that never married-couldn't get past someone from her past, no husband no kids, some said, "you need to get her to stop that" (mom) and some just gently told her the truth (great aunts who's husbands have passed on)

so in the car one day, i told her that question is really between her and mommy because it's not a question you ask just anyone without knowing them first.

i didn't want to embarass her or make her think she can't ask questions but i wanted her to know that some questions are meant to be between mommy and her. she asked if she should apologize, i told her no, you're learning, and that's what counts

so maybe just gently explain some questions or "what i know" are meant to stay between mommy/daddy and baby

but don't make a huge deal about it....it's cute

I would have said "that's right Suzy but remember bathroom time is private time".

It is inevitable that she will say stuff like that, and you NEVER know when such a phrase will pop out. While it is not something to be overly concerned about, it is a good idea to let her know that the only time we should discuss things about going potty is if she has to go potty, or is in the bathroom. That has seemed to help my soon-to-be 4 yr old who is always wanting to talk about poop, pee, and penises.

nothing it will pass its a fascination to her

how about 'your uncle can pee however he likes. YOU pee sitting down.'
why on earth would it bother you for your child to 'use the knowledge she just learned at random'?
what is she supposed to do with knowledge?
what exactly is 'learning at random' anyway?

S.

Nothing. Men pee standing up.

She is just at the age where they notice and comment on things and are proud they are learning things. So, in the moment, just calmly, nonchalantly, say, "You are right." Then gently change the subject.

Later, when you two are alone, you can briefly talk about what you think is okay to talk about in public and what we don't really talk about.

When people are over, since she likes to show that she is learning, ask her about something she has been learning - not so she becomes a big show off - but so that she can be part of the conversation the adults are having (which she seems to want) and in a way you find appropriate.

A., are you in a child development class or something?

Not a big deal let her know she is correct.It is funny kids say the darnest things at any given moment.
