Do you know how many times a day I say “stop touching your _____”?

I'm probably going to get some not-so-normal readers from this title, but this is what my post is all about today... I have 3 boys, so a lot of good blog fodder can come from my little people. Nothing is bland and boring in our house. There is plenty to share. I probably say "stop …

I’m probably going to get some not-so-normal readers from this title, but this is what my post is all about today…

I have 3 boys, so a lot of good blog fodder can come from my little people. Nothing is bland and boring in our house. There is plenty to share.

I probably say “stop touching your doodle” more than anything else. If I had a dollar for every time I said it, I’d be rich and I wouldn’t be blogging 😉 I’d be on a yacht somewhere…

Oh where we we…

They cannot stop. Seriously. They can’t! It drives me mental. I’m either saying it, or grabbing their hand and moving it away from that area. They cannot watch tv with their hands by their side. I’m sure they sleep with their hands on it.

The little people in this house are obsessed with their bits.

I’m forever saying: stop touching, wash your hands, did you wash it, did you wipe it, who did this on the floor…

It doesn’t stop even when they are adults hey?

What IS the fascination? I don’t get it!

Somehow I was blessed with 3 little ‘hands-on’ boys. Don’t they say you’re given what you can handle?

Far out brussle sprout, I’m not sure I can handle this for the next 15 years until they move out…

Don’t tell me – I know it only gets worse. 😉

Have a great day! X

    To this day I can remember as a 9 year old hearing the teacher in the classroom over the courtyard yelling to a specific boy “(name here) stop playing with your penis”.

    If its any conciliation most of male friends (aged in 20s and 30s) do the ole readjust but quite subtly but there are definitely some men who always seem to have their hand down there.

    I think all boys do it, even the big ones I’m afraid. I knew of a guy who would sit at the bar in a pub and have a hand down there. Honestly this is why I NEVER eat snacks that are free from the bar!

    hahaha! And here’s me thinking I was the only one with an obsessed child! Hey Trish, I have 5yo twin boys too, although it seems one does it more than the other? Perhaps one of them’s just sneakier about it ;P

    I swear boys just think of it as another toy to play with! Unfortunately I don’t think most guys grow out of it either, grown men still seem to play with it. 😐

    My boys are a bit younger (5 and 2) and I am FOREVER saying it too. Infact Master 2 likes to squeeze his hand into his nappy to check his penis is still there.

    And I am so.sick.and.tired and finding wee around the toilet!

    I came from a household of females, then went on to have 2 daughters, so everything I’ve ever been used to is glittery, pink, lacy & sparkly…….then I had a son. I was so NOT used to dealing/seeing him play with it, to the point where I had to ask my hubby, “If it was normal!”. Now we all are used to it, even to the point where his 2 elder sisters tell him the get his hand away from his willy LOL

    Bahaha thanks so much for the laugh!!! I only have girls so don’t have that problem. Though in saying that, the number of times a day I say “get your hands out of your mouth!” is another story.

    I wish I had a dollar for everytime I tell my 5 yr old too!!! He seems to be completely unaware that he is even doing it most of the time….

    Haha, I could tell you some stories about my 4 too.
    Bless, what is it with boys? And yes my darling it only gets worse as they get older & then it really does make you feel weird. Yes. Very Weird. But they don’t care. At all.

    I taught in an all boys high school for a looong time. They do get better at managing not to touch it in public (or maybe I became de-sensitised to it). One of my ex-students is bit of a tv/ film hunk now but he was the WORST jiggler I had ever seen. Still can’t watch him without shuddering (seriously it was that bad!). My thoughts are with you.xx

    I only have one son, but if I had a dollar for every time I said “leave it alone, it’ll grow by itself…”
