gstharr Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I've been mulling this over for a month now. I neeed a multimeter for a project around the house. I knew that the 12th grader has at least of couple in hisold sicence kits. I searched his room for the kits. Then I stumbled across some interesting items Seem that he and his gf have much better toys than i do. I mean in variety and quality. I have not revealed this with anybody. I am almost to the point of convincing myself to keep it to myself. After all, there was protection, and he will be off to college next year. Well...? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'm lol'ing here. I was thinking much different kinds of 'toys'. I don't know there is anything to discuss really. What would be the point? If you know they are being safe I see that as the only reason to bring it up. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I am such a prude I would hate that so much. I'm glad I never had that experience. When my kids moved off to college we completely gutted the basement where they were living and remodeled. I warned, begged, pleaded with them to clean it out before they left. At least a year of warnings to please make sure they had taken any personal items. I still dreaded the task of emptying that room and my dh did most of it. Luckily the worst that was found, to my knowledge, was a couple love letters and a mix tape 🙂 I'd love for my kids to have their innocence while living in my house but if not, I'd like to maintain my own, I think. (Of course, this is assuming they are not in dangerous situations and they have had the information and all the moral teachings I wanted to impart). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if you hadn't said the part about protection then I still would've thought you meant gadgets and wondered why you were debating about talking about it 🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Tiggywinkle Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Depending on the type of toys and what they’re doing with them, I might have a “random” conversation about consent/safe play. I got absolutely zero information from my mother other than save it till marriage. As an adult I realized some of that is that she truly had no idea what there was to do than the missionary position basically(she didn’t even understand what Bill and Monica were up too…) But it led to me getting into situations in college and even as an early adult where I was way over my head and now I realize there were people taking advantage of my homeschooled innocence and consent wasn’t always there(and of course in 2001 we weren’t talking about consent like we are now.) 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 You could ask him where he shops. That would be a fun conversation. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I thought Bill and Monica was a Friends reference. It took me like three minutes to figure it out, too. Coffee. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened it to find out what kind of cool new mulitmeters are out there! Quickly realized I should not click on any links that might be posted in this thread.

My mom was most definitely in her 30s at that point and had several children. Um…I guess she didn’t know that certain body parts could go in certain other body parts where it was not baby making?? This may explain why I have so many siblings, come to think of it. My kids are going to know way more than I was ever told if for no other reason than safety, but, um, I have a lot more knowledge than my mom did, apparently. OP, I’d probably ask my kid where they got the toys because they looked like fun and Dad and I want to buy our own, and then I guarantee you will never, ever find such things in his room again. They’ll be much better hidden. 😂🤣 Edited August 19, 2022 by Mrs Tiggywinkle 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing crazy, but some "Why would you do that?" things. I didn't delve into it, I don't care, but I've heard the cigar thing from multiple sources and it's just weird. Edit: I googled. Not rumors. So if you want to know just Google that. Edited August 19, 2022 by Slache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think historically we’ve just been careful on this forum to not use certain terms that are known to invite spambots. That’s why I was using all kinds of non descriptive language lol.

So if you want to know just Google that. Totally off subject but I’m on a fourteen hour car ride today and bored so I googled the Starr report and read it. I was just a teenager and barely interested when the whole thing happened. Now I have so many thoughts about power and vulnerability…. I’m still interested in the OP’s outcome though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
