Quietly bring the issue up with his mom and ask her how to proceed... that's the reasonable way and resolves any conflict. If she's cool with you talking to him about it, then it's up to you what to say. Unless he's in a VERY progressive school, he hasn't learned shit from anyone except for other (9 year olds?), which is the same as nothing useful.
I fear the wrath of Jules in this case, but oh well.
She's cool with it. Wish she wasn't but I guess she has faith in me for whatever reason. He doesn't exactly get his learning on this subject from school, he gets it from the internet.
I think her attitude was "If you're old enough to ask the question, you deserve a decent answer".
Uh-huh. One of his questions was: "CJ, should I be grossed out by boy at school who dresses like a girl and acts like a girl and really looks like a girl and has a crush on me?"
No, buddy, you shouldn't. Mostly because you told you me you don't care if it's a girl or a boy, as long as they're really cute.
You yourself are extremely cute, and you're a little girly looking and have cute kinda girly hair.
For fucks sake, you wear a wolf plush winter hat while asking me this shit just because you know you look cute wearing it.
I mean, what am I supposed to say? I honestly really don't know other than if you think he/she is cute, and you like them then go for it I guess. Or turn him/her down and explain you're not into that. I'm pretty sure you're gonna be into anything given where half of both our DNA came from though.
He looks at my daughter like she's cake and ice cream for dinner, and that's actually toning it down a lot. "I really wish Kimmy and I weren't related".
As if that would even stop him. He says being in my home is like torture because of all the "super hot girls". I don't blame him on that though.
The times I've caught him checking out EVERYONE in this house can't be counted, and I've smacked him "very very gently, shut up" upside his head to snap him out of it. I've literally caught him drooling looking at my mom. And there's other things he's been caught doing.
So I confess, to stay on topic, I don't know how to handle him. I love him, but he needs to calm the fuck down, he hasn't even hit double digits yet!
Can't you all just say 5 years old forever and stop it with the growing up shit??
I also hate that my own are starting this process.
I try to keep it all away from them, but it just isn't possible. I'm not gonna go into it because Jules will murder me and orphan my children though.
Which is a little odd that I can't talk about any of this freely, but people write shit here that's like... way worse than talk about puberty.
