I am a mother of a 7 month old boy. My friend has a boy that is 13 months old. We are closer than ever before since we now both have boys around the same age. We do a lot of things together and we bring our boys with us everywhere we go. My friend is a pretty mellow woman and I have always known her to be that way. However, I've noticed her talking a lot about her son's "manhood" lately and it's starting to bother me. She tells pretty much anyone who asks about her son that he is very well endowed. She's not modest about it at all. She always says things like "when my son was born the nurses said that we won't have any problems with the ladies" and "I was shocked when I first saw it, I thought it was the umbilical cord." I'm pretty liberal but I think she needs to give this a rest. If you talk about how chubby his butt is or how big his head is then that's another story. My son was not blessed the way her son was and I don't want my son growing up listening to her inappropriate comment

Don't worry about the child being more than fairly "blessed", size at birth has little to do with size after puberty and if it did, being too large is more of a problem for a man than being smaller than average could ever be. Seriously she is just boasting about her son in all the ways she can and since the nurses made that comment, this has become one of the things she regards as special about him...yes, very inappropriate,but if you think it is going to upset your son to hear her talking about her son's endowment, wait until you see what it does to her son!
If driven to make any comment then you might tell her you think she should tone it down before the children are old enough to understand ..or even before other children,who already understand, start to tease her son about it. Even if she is oblivious to your feelings and does not realise that many of us would find her pride in this particular aspect of her child's physique a little creepy..she should care about what his feeling are going to be later on when he begins to be called ..well, who knows what..in the playground!

I wouldn't say anything about these things either, the biggest thing you must instill in your son is that these things aren't important. I have 2 boys and that is honestly the last thing I think about, let alone talk about. It seems way weird to say about your own son. I would tell her straight up that it is too much and she needs to tone it down. Maybe she doesn't realize how much she is doing it. My boys are different from each other I would never point this out to them, just tell her you don't think this is important and maybe she should focus on what kind of man he will be not what's in his pants, there are too many men like that already!

i'm with you, i would feel a bit uncomfortable hearing about it all the time. I mean, sure, you may notice it and comment once or twice, but why do you need to go on about it? soon he will be old enough to understand what she is going on about and do you really want your kid hearing that or telling people they have a big willy or whatever? i hate that 'sexualising' of babies (i would slap a nurse who said that about my newborn! lol), i find it pretty inappropriate even though i am liberal myself.

I have noticed alot of women do this and it's wrong, I mean
what if the father would talk to his man friends about his
baby girls privates, like it or not it's just as much wrong
when A women does it, I would talk to her about this, say
what your saying to us and let her know that this is not
right, he is an infant, this is sick !!!!!!!! Good luck to
you and I hope things work out.

Completely inappropriate and low class.

I think that seems a little wierd. I mean it would be different if she joked about it once but not all the time and to everyone she knows...thats just odd.

Its a little strange, but I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure as he grows up she won't talk about it so much.

Why are you so obsessed? You've asked this before? Did you not get enough answers or are you just wanting to abuse the internet spouting off about this?

Try to change the subject. At least she will get a que that your not interested in that subject.
