Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Where are our kids learning this stuff?!?



Recommended Posts

So yesterday im out shopping with my 6 year old daughter. We are looking at clothes and I pick up a swimsuit top to look at. This is how the conversation went after that:

Daughter "Mom, you dont need that. Its for S"

Me "What's S?"

Daughter "You know....S. The S word"

Me "What S word? You can tell me."

Daughter "Its for sex. You dont need that"

I was shocked. I informed her it was a swimsuit and not lingerie (sp?). Im just wondering where she got that from. I dont think a 6 year old should know anything about sex. :blink:

She was right though. I have no need for any lingerie. Sadly...:mellow:

What have your kids said that shocked you?

My six year old daughter is full on into the "i'm in love with so and so and we kissed" (not that she really has) stuff now. Its all going on at school - I dont think she'd make the connection between lingerie and sex though, despite having seen plenty of it on TV.

As for my older kids, I'm a little gobsmacked by how much they know and we've never had "the talk". They wont engage on the subject which I find frustrating as they could have wrong information and almost certainly dont know as much as they think they do.

Its not so different from when I was growing up though. I knew all about sex before my parents sat me down.

I remember "having sex" with my babysitter's grandson. I was, I think, 5 and he was a little older. He just laid on top of me for a few minutes....Not unlike some sex partners I've had as an adult!

Thanks for describing my technique for all the world to see, Glouc.

My oldest son had a knack for putting together random words together and trying to make me laugh (because it always sounded like it could be lyrics to any "Beck" song). So once in Wal-Mart (the social and economic hub in the town I live in) we were strolling down an aisle and this was the result:

Ryan - Knock, knock.

Me- Who's there?

Ryan- Flaming cock......

Needless to say, I just lost it and started laughing incredibly hard. My wife was mortified (I think more by the spectacle of me doubled over laughing with tears a-flowing than what he said).

LMAO! I love kids.

My friend's son was 2 when they were flying back from Australia...a very long flight and he was nutty from it. He was running around the airport yelling "F***, F***, F***" over and over.

The more she shushed him, the louder he got until everyone in the airport was laughing.

These are all too funny!! So its not only my daughter. lol

My daughter is all about the boyfriend thing too. She is in kinder and she has has the same boyfriend the entire year. Well she came home so sad the other day because he broke up with her so he could make every girl in the class his girlfriend and then choose between them all and pick his favorite.

These kids are to much!!

I dont even think I knew anything about sex until I was 13. :tt1:

We were looking at the kids class pictures yesterday and I asked the girl to point out her "boyfriend" Chance. She said "Umm, we broke up and now I am seeing Blake." 2nd grade. Love it.

My 5yo son loves to repeat things Daddy says. I think my parents were mortified the first time he called his Papa a douche bag. And when the dog whipped him with his tail and he grabbed himself screaming "ow, my junk!"

Extremely funny. I have a friend that has a son the same age as my daughter. They both enjoy watching Family Guy (I feel all that judgement.....quit being all judge-y). They don't really "get" all the jokes and terms, but my friend was surprised when her son called her a "juicebag", lol

No judegment here. My kids like it too.

Oh and the day my daughter let her glasses on the floor and they were stepped on she told me that God knows everything that is going to happen before it happens so it was kind of his fault as well.

Your parents sat you down??? Mine didn't...but that's ok, because as far as I am concerned they know nothing about sex. My mind will not accept that they could. Nope. Impossible.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
