My 14 year old son Mark has started teasing my 11 year old daughter Rebecca whenever they're taking a bath because she's started puberty and it's beginning to show.
Mark has already been through puberty, and since he knows it's a tough time, he's been teasing her. And Lord knows that girls are overly sensitive about their bodies at this age. For example, he'll give her a "titty-twister" (that's what he calls it) or he'll yank on her pubic hair until she starts to cry.
How can I get them to get along? I'm just at the end of my tether here. Their father walked out on us several years ago, so I don't get no help. What can I, as a single mother, do?

Well, as a single mom parenting decisions can be difficult. I'd say has long has Mark's not trying to play "hide the salami" it's just innocent childish fun. Whatever you decide, I think, no more bathing together once she hits 20. That's just my opinion. Best of luck...

To stop the teasing simply don't let them take baths together. There is a certain age that siblings need their privacy and at the ages of 11 and 14 I think they both need their privacy and that bathing separately should have started a long time ago.
I have a boy (7) and girl (2), and not once have they ever bathed together. My son at the age of 7 doesn't even like to get undressed in front of me and I'm his mother, he doesn't even want me in the bathroom with him when he baths. So to eliminate the teasing between your "young adults" don't allow them in the same room when they are not dressed.

You can't be serious!! Why on earth are they bathing together? A 14 y/o pulling his sisters pubic hair? Titty twisters? Why are you allowing this? Bath time should be private with the door closed for each of them. She should never be seen naked by her brother or anyone else for that matter. Protect her dignity!!! You're her mother. Act like it!!
Does your son understand the meaning of respect? I raised sons and Lord help them if I ever caught them doing something like that. They'd have been grounded forever!

Uuuhmm wow. Where do I start ?
Don't let your children take baths together at the ages of 14 and 11. Try when they were 4 and 1. Slap him in the face. Why the fvck is he giving her a titty-twister. Sickos !

First of all this is the time when privacy comes in. They need to start taking baths separately and stop ur son from doing that cos he might get comfortable and do it to someone else or in public and I believe U know the implications.

What the name of any blessed God is your 14 year old son bathing with his younger sister for? I've heard of conserving water but he's way too old for that. As for pulling on her parts, slap him up side the head for that very hard. This had better be a bogus question, Madame, because your son is way outta line.

This is a joke right. No parent in their right mind allows their kids at that age to see each other naked unless they are of the same sex. I think you are weird and need more guidance than what yahoo answers can provide.

ok..i am hoping that this is a b.s. kind of question, because no mother in her right mind would allow a 14 and 11 yr old to bathe together, let alone permit titty-twisters..and if you do, I hope they are taken away from you and put in foster care quick!
