Reply to comment by Scarecrow314159 in TIFU by not locking the door to the bedroom… by ShortCartographers

Yes, that’s generally our approach. We tell her the truth in an age appropriate way and use the correct terminology for what body parts are called. I don’t feel it does anyone any favors to be raised overly sheltered and especially to have biologically/medically important information kept a secret in a way that makes it seem shameful. But, uh, we definitely didn’t want her to see that.

Fair. It makes me glad to know that you're not hiding truth from your kid, it sucks when adults do that for like no reason. Kids can handle a lot of information better than adults think.

But yes, I totally understand that you wouldn't want your kid to see that xD
