My DH has full back, sleeves and (at the time of this anecdote) partial upper chest ink.

We were in WDW and DH sat with DD in a hot tub in one of the expensive grade WDW resort hotels. The other person in the hot tub looked hubby up and down then grabbed her daughter and pulled her out of the tub in such haste!

There are no words in the ink, nothing violent. All Asian art -- koi, lilies, geisha (in robes - no nudity) cranes, etc. You would have thought he walked in wearing his "9 out of 10 women are battered and I'm still eating mine plain" shirt.

Yes, we own vulgar shirts. We only wear them in appropriate locations and keep them covered until we get there.

I don't need flowery words to describe a physical act.
"Mommy, how did I get here?"

"Well dear, Mommy and Daddy went out, got hammered, and Daddy effed Mommy till her brains fell out."

That's usually the truth, isn't it!
So parents choose to lie & tell kids they came from under a cabbage leaf, the stork brought them, etc.
Why not be honest, talk at their level and have them be horribly bored at you (generic) and ask you to stop?

Yes it is LOL

My children were taught the anatomically correct words for their body parts and when the 'How did I get here' phase came, they were told (within reason of their capability to understand) the truth about sex. At that age, they're usually intrigued and simultaneously appalled that 'dad's what went where???'

Yes, I was the parent who's child taught a classmate.

The truth is good, but sometimes the whole sweaty, screaming for more scenario is TMI for little ones

So, is it okay for a mom to allow her 2 year old to wear a shirt like that ? Is she "cool' and "hip" ? is it funny ? The "American WAY" ?? Is Mom "setting a NEW standard" in free speech ? Would it be funny if your granny wore it to church, or a funeral ?

To all the people on here asserting that because children may ask what the "F" word means, they would be therefore obligated to go into a long description of the sex act, I say: Please.

You say, "That's a swear word and we don't use it in our house."

And that's it.

Do you go into lengthy descriptions of the seediest possible sides of life whenever your kids ask a question about something they see on the street? When there were a bajillion billboards around for the movie "The Changeling," and your child said, "What's that, Mommy? Can we see that movie?" or even, "What does that word mean?", did you say,

1. "Oh, that's about a child who is abducted. The police tell the mother her little boy is back, but he really isn't. In real life, the boy was raped by a man and then choked by the rapist, then hit on the head with a shovel by another little boy until he was dead. It's a true story."

Or...

2. "Oh, that's a grownup movie and it's a scary one we won't be seeing."

The argument that one will have to go into detail from genital readiness to the zygote rolling along the fallopian tube because a word that has to do with sex is written somewhere, is a silly one. Do you give the whole "That's what Daddies do to Mommies, and here's how it goes" explanation if your child hears the word "rape" ANYWHERE on TV, absolutely anywhere, and asks what it means? And then you perhaps continue with, "...Except the rapist doesn't love the victim. He or she wants to hurt the victim, so he takes a part of his body or an object and then..."

Let's be rational, okay? You're parents. You know what you say to children and you know that you are NEVER forced into huge details over a child's head if he or she asks a question. You answer honestly but on the child's readiness level. Come on now. This is pretty easy stuff.

It's the parent's choice; not yours.
It's not your business what someone else does so long as it doesn't inflict pain on you.

I may not agree with what all people do, but it's usually none of my business. Just like it's not your business what others do.
