ryno1972 0 #1 April 3, 2006 OK everyone, I seriously screwed up! A couple of months ago I bought a nice, new Hustler Magazine. ( I needed something to "do", I was out of town and in a Hotel room by myself, and yes I am ready for the barrage of jokes.) Well I left the friggin thing in my suitcase and my kids found it this morning. My wife called me very upset. My oldest daughter is 6, the other 2. I mean, shit, what if she looked through the damned thing, that is some raunchy shit. I feel sick to my stomach, that was the last thing they needed to see, espacially my oldest, I mean she is six for crying out loud. Anyway, how on earth do I talk to her about it? Should I try to let it blow over and not mention it? Or do I try to address the situation? Anyway, some advice would be much appreciated!! Thanks, Ryanglad to be here!!

Squeak 17 #2 April 3, 2006 really unlikely they will understand what they;'re looking at just talk to them like human beingsYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeiber 0 #3 April 3, 2006 Sometimes I'm so glad I don't have kids! At 6 years old, I agree that she doesn't know what she's lookin' at. I was a little older than that when my friends and I found some Hustler's in the trash. We liked the boobs... the other stuff we didn't pay alot of attention to. I don't know how good of advice this is, but coming from a non-parent, I would just let it go, and not make an ordeal about it. She's probably already forgotten what she saw. Bringing it up again is just drawing attention to something she doesn't need to be thinking about. Good luck, let us know how you handle it, in case I'm ever in that situation! JeffShhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian84 0 #4 April 3, 2006 I doubt they'll understand what it is. When I was six I tried to tune in some cartoons on the tv but ended up getting the playboy channel (or something similar). I didnt know what it was and just left it on then went and got some cereal. When my mum woke up and saw me eating my breakfast and watching playboy all she said was that its normal for grown ups to be naked and there was nothing wrong with it. Dont worry about it man, I know plenty of lads who've found their dads' stash!

They were watching a movie in the parents bedroom and some how found a box with magazines and toys. My friend called me as soon as it happened and explained everything, she was so distraught. I calmed her down and we both agreed not to make a big deal about it and to let the whole thing go. To this day they (kids) have never brought it up. I think because we didn’t make it into an issue we didn’t develop an issue. Like Squeak said it is unlikely that they understand and if you and your wife feel the need to discuss this issue with them just speak to them calmly. Honestly at that age they are more interested in Disney, Nickelodeon etc and probably wont even give it a second thought! And try not to be too hard on yourself, your only human. Its not like you left it on the coffee table. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Nightingale 0 #6 April 3, 2006 She's six. She'll forget about it within a week. Let it go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites FlankSteak 0 #7 April 3, 2006 I agree with loves2jump2, just let it go and stop freakin'. However, I don't think we should downplay the imagination and memories of these kids. I think they take in more, and know more than we think. It is important though, to talk to them as if they were adults, if that time comes.______________________________________________ "...whatever stands against freedom must be set aside, be it ritual or superstition or limitation in any form."

My Dad was on to me within about 30 seconds, and told me that was his, and not for me. Thus began my quest to find more such images!

I was always more interested in the "forbidden" things. Yeah I found my dad's porn, but I never told my parents!

The magazine was not mine.) I pretty much didn't freak. Just told my 5 year old that some things are not appropriate for children. Just like drinking alcohol. Then I asked her if she had any questions about what she saw. She just told me that she didn't really look that much. One of the other girls was "reading" it and she just wanted to see. She just noted the boobs and was wondering why they were naked in a magazine. I don't want her to think it's taboo, but I really don't want her to emulate it either. As it turns out. She could care less. Just be honest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
