OT Weeding out FB friends

I love dogs's picture

I'm friends with one of DH's old bosses on FB. She's nice enough and we've gotten along at the Xmas parties I've been to. She has twin girls who just turned 3. As I'm just browsing out of boredom, I come across her post:

"Twin A: Mom! Do you see my penis?

Mom: ?? You don't have a penis.. Who asked you that?

Twin A: Boy. He showed me his penis. I love it!

Twin B: *sing song voice* you can use your penis! I can use your penis!

Twin A: No, twin B! Boy's penis is in my class!"

I am highly disturbed! The comments were non-concerned and even joking about how weird kids are.

I don't know if ex-boss demanded answers from the teacher, but from what I read, she isn't too concerned about it! I'd be talking to the preschool director in a heartbeat and raising Hell up in there!

Reminds me of when BM was pregnant with her son. DH missed a call from BM and text her to see if everything was ok. She replied that she and SD (6 or 7 at the time) were looking at baby books and SD saw a penis and said something like "I hope daddy's (DH), papa's (BM's SF), and uncle's (BM and DH's brothers) penises are short!"

DH showed me the text and we were disgusted. He just ignored her and I hope BM realized how inappropriate that is!

Another time, DH's buddy (SD's "uncle") was teasing SD (8 or 9 at the time) and SD told him she was going to punch him in the balls! She was quickly repremanded and she never said anything like that again at our house. I don't know where she learned that. She's always had a lot of friends that were boys.

But what gives? Do parents really think that crap is cute? I think it's disgusting and I can't believe ex-boss had the guts to post that all over social media! She is a business owner!?? I definitely unfriended her.

I was floored at her post! One of the girls said the boy SHOWED her his penis. Why would a 3 year old make that up? I don't know many 3 year olds who know what a penis is. As for SD, I guess it's "fine" what she told BM, but for BM to think it funny enough to share with DH? Can someone say attention whore? It's cute for SD to talk about her dad's privates? No, ma'am.

Kids at that age often play show me yours and I'll show you mine.  Could be completely innocent.  I would certainly follow up with the school to determine if it was just normal kid body explanation or if there is a budding sexual assaulter in the classroom.

My kids were taught the proper names for their body parts and they all knew penis and vagina by the time they were 3.
