It becomes a big deal to the kids when it is hidden, made into something secret or dirty.

I agree, the reasoning behind it is VERy important. if no attention is ever brought to it, then it isnt anythign to be worried about.

i have to admit, even at her current age, I am a bit prudish around my daughter about my dress... I'm just not comfortable not having clothes on around a little girl. i gues son some level, that is healthy....

yeah, I'm shaking my head here:D - my consolation is that I'm sure I'm taking this whole open sexuality thing to a level that would offend you to the core:)

Yeah, speaking for Australia...we're pretty much ok with tits here....As long as they're not the kind that grows 'round under a whale womans armpits, as long as they can be used er...while-ishly, they're acceptable viewing.
Wouldn't NOT show a kid a film just on account of tits, unless it were pornographic or something.

I do recall you getting upset with me for allowing my children to view "explicit" material.

But if I am incorrect, I apologize sir.

He did, sort of. It was more geared towards violence, if i recall correctly, though.

i may have ... i cant remember how 'explicit' you were talking about or the extent of how upset i appeared ?

.. you're obviously someone who spends a lot of time explaining things in detail to your kids .. only you and they will know if you made the right choices later on ...
i have been frustrated in the past with people that let their kids watch stuff indiscriminately and without guidence - and they become desensitized little shits with no sense of reality vs fantasy..

i'll tell you one thing - coming from a pair of parents who didnt care to have children and werent afraid to hide it ... raising kids - properly - is THE most rewarding but also most difficult undertaking you could ever engage in ..(as you well know)

fuck its hard as hell to anticipate what the right or wrong thing to do is every time..
i find the people who make it look easy are the people who dont care - they let their kids run wild - they become everyone elses problem.

from my upbringing i am acutely aware that anything said or done could be a trigger for something later on in my kids life - his hopes, fears, biases ...
there is so much responsibility involved it can crush you at times.

but the reward of the little bugger hugging you and wanting to be with you all the time is worth all the work.
