My 4 year old stepson has been getting into bed with me and his father in the morning for the last 2 years.
He likes to chat, to bring his toys in, play 'pretend' games and play-fight. He's also curious about bodies and is intrigued by bums and boobies and other bits, which I've always seen as normal for a kid. I've tried to explain in a "ladies have boobies and men have winkies" kind of way.
He's now started trying to see the 'bits' of other kids at nursery, the little sod! As a result, his Dad no longer wants him in bed with us at all, as he feels it could be interpreted the wrong way.
I'm really upset, as this is our quality time, and the 'boobies and winkies' is just a tiny bit of that time. I've got no problems NOT talking about bodies if that would keep the peace, but I'm not sure if this would make it even worse, within him being MORE interested if he can't talk about it at home.
So what to do for the best? Views from child workers v. welcome!
