My daughter is 2 almost 3 in July. Both her dad and checked to ensure she was asleep, so we decided to past the time with each other. (keeping it clean) We were in the living room and suddenly I hear my boyfriend(my childs dad) yell, get in the room. I freaked out. When I went to her room she asked me two questions which informed me she saw what was going on. She asked, " Dad was playing with your pants, and the other question was, Dad was pulling your hair. I told her we were playing b/c I wasn't sure what to say. I'm really not sure how to feel. I feel I shouldn't have told her we were playing. I don't want her to think those actions are proper nor acceptable. I'm scared. What do I do, What do I say to her about it, Help, how do I address this issue
Thanks, Ladies the responses eased my mind and made me laugh.
Not a big deal at this point b/c she's only 2. If you don't make a big issue out of it, she will forget in a few days if she hasn't already. If she doesn't bring it up, then you don't either. If she was older, you'd have to go about it differently.
in a couple of days she won't remember anything anyway...
I was wondering when I read the post if she was like 10...or old enough to have body issues and ask the REAL hard hitting questions.
If you're THAT worried about your two year old walking in on you, make sure you "pass the time" in your own bedroom...its safer that way...
And for the record...telling her at TWO that it was playing is far better than mommy likes it when daddy pulls her hair cause we're in love and mommy and daddy play in each other's pants...
Laugh it off...wait til they're older...and ask where babies come from...OR WORSE...
Good luck to you.
Oh what a memory this brings up for me....LOL...My daughter was two (she's almost 11 now) and daddy and I were in a quick romantic moment while we thought she was engrossed in cartoons in the living room. Thank goodness we were under the covers but what a surprise to hear my husband go "uh oh" and look over his shoulders to see my daughter straddling daddy's back (like a piggy back ride). Like I said, it was all undercover so we just had to send her back to the living room but we were both pretty mortified and laugh about it all these years later. Anyway, back to your question, I agree with the others, just let it go, she won't remember it soon - you just learned a great little lesson - spontaneity is great only before the kids come! :-)
Laugh and let it go. Be more careful in the futrure. Be thankful she is 2!!!
Also, make sure any toys or DVDs are safely out of the way. Our daughter found a toy. Try explaining that at 4 !!
Good luck!
kids are amazing in that they only need alittle short answer to fill their wondering mind. no way should you give her too much info. the more you tell her the more she will think about it and it could cause more questions to arise. best to let her just forget it ever happend. kinda like when a child says their first cuss word. they don't know it was bad till someone made a big deal about it then bamm it's fixed in their mind. go about this very casually. my daughter has never walked in on us because well we keep the door locked on those special nights, but she knows that mommy and daddy can see each other naked in our bathroom and she is fine with that. I just tell her that we love each other and we are married so it's ok. that was enough for her. She knows that she has to give daddy privacy and that he will do the same for her unless she needs him for something and mommy is not around then it's ok because he is her daddy. she did ask why daddy had a hairy tail so ya we had to go with no more walking in while daddy was showering. she is 5 now
