Re: OK, fought with DH over toddler and TV, who is right?
I wouldnt had mad an issue about it.. It was on discovery.. so I am sure it was more educational then "sex" talk ...
I am pretty open and honest with my little crew... better they know about it.. *** it isnt bad to know what it is.. **** then to have one of their friends bring one show them.. they will be all embarrassed and ashamed to let you know what was going on... Advertisement

Re: OK, fought with DH over toddler and TV, who is right?
I wouldnt have changed the channel. I dont think condoms and sex are bad words. If they were using derogitory terms I may have changed the channel. My mom was always very open and honest with me and I think it was really benficial for me and it helped me make good choices. I plan to be open and honest about things with my kids too. At 3 and 1 they arent really asking anything yet but my daughter knows penis and vagina and she likes to talk about who has what parts and I dont make a big deal of it. Any questions that do come up are answered as basically as possible and I dont give details. I can see where your DH would have been offended if he thought you said he was being a bad parent. I am sure if you talk about it and explain your feelings you will be able to come to some kind of agreement on how to handle these types of situations.

Re: OK, fought with DH over toddler and TV, who is right?
I think you guys need to agree on what the rules for TV will be for your child. My husband grew up with no TV and doesn't want us to have one at all. I love to watch TV at the very end of the day for an hour or less before going to bed, and I also think that shows like Sesame St. are great for kids, so I want to keep the TV. That said, we agree that our son won't watch any network TV until he's much older (six or so) and that at that point he will only be allowed to watch a certain amount and certain child-friendly shows.
I think you are in the right with regards to what happened with your husband but at the same time it's not something I would stop talking over. I'm wondering if something deeper is going on that you guys should discuss. Good luck with reaching a compromise you are both happy with. Quote:
