Ok ok so I am now calm, my DS and I have always had (so far) an open honest relationship. Yesterday we were talking about pubic hair and he said his has started growing. Without thinking I said "Really? can I see?" he showed me and sure enough he has got some hairs growing at the top of his willy. I welled up...what was that all about?
He just said "oh god your gonna start crying now because I'm growing up aren't you?" I know the hairs on his top lip have started getting darker although nothing to write home about,he had his first electric shave with his Step-Dad a few months ago, it was more of a laugh than anything else.
So why has this hit me like a ton of bricks? I feel silly for getting emotional about it....I know he has to grow up and I'm happy (in a non-weird way) that he showed/told me. I dunno, it just feels so sad. Anyone elses child start getting pubic hair at this age? Is this normal?
