Often times it is him that willingly brings me the massage oils.

Both you and your son are fucked up.

 

[ManDudeChild]

From what I can tell my son has absolutely no qualms whatsoever about this whole scenario. Often times it is him that willingly brings me the soap, sail boats or massage oils and leads me by the hand I might even add, into the bedroom or bath tub[/b]. To him it is no different than me taking him to his soccer game or playing video games with him. Sadly the same cannot be said for the vast majority of society it seems with regards to this behaviour.

As for bathing with your child, I think it should be done until they have the understanding and diligence to properly bathe themself. I think 10 is clearly old enough for that. Openness and trust with your family is one thing, but private things need to be solidifed in their minds as private early on.

As for sleeping, I think the limit should be around 6-8 to make them sleep by themself but let them know it's ok if they get scared and they can come and get you or call for you so you can comfort them.

This teaches them how to be apart from you but still under your support and watch in simple ways in the home so that the same principles hold true when they soon get older and start doing that in life outside the home.

And if Ecrofirt is telling you this, you know it's time to lay off the Post Reply button.

I think you live up the "Junior Member" title moreso than Bogeyker, personally.

Meh, you really should post this on a forum dedicated to such problems, or perhaps talk to people more knowledgable in the subject. No one here is going to entire understand. Not that I think what you're doing is right in a sense, I think it is also time to teach your son to be on his own at night and what not. But I think you're going to get a much better answer with someone specialized in the area an understands what's going on.

But man, how I do admire you keeping your cool. But, I do hope we all can get a clear mind on what it is and isn't appropriate to post I guess.

I am taking this guy a bit too seriously, huh?

Oh wait...

I'm such a fool. But at least everyone knows what kind of person I am now, hehe. :lol :lol

Bogeyker: Seek help elsewhere. While i don't believe i agree with your methods, i do agree that the forum, and most American society will not be sympathetic to them. And this thread will soon be towards reaching critical mass towards lockdown.

Whether or not your son finds this acceptable will be up to him. i don't see him having any problems with it until he gets older and begins to fully realize it's not the norm, and perhaps gets tainted by the sexualizaition prevalent in our society. Even still, i kinda doubt he'll see a problem with it, provided he feels it was done with love and not maliciously intent.

Yeah, massage oils. This is a prank. If it weren't a prank, I'd say:

I disagree Catalyst. The real hurt is done to children when the parents aren't around and neglect their needs. These are the children that grow up and have social problems and might become deviants; not the ones being nurtured and showered with love and affection.

This is ridiculous. The middle ground of moderation is the best course. You are clearly on the far end of the spectrum, equally as bad as those who neglect their children by paying far too little attention.

 

[Incognito]

some of you need to seriously grow the fuck up.

you treat every "junior member" thread as a popularity contest and throw out the most ridiculous jokes, comments, and anecdotes ever conceived.

if you don't have any constructive thoughts pertaining to the actual subject at hand, then shut the fuck up.

It's less "HA HA, LAUGH AT THE JUNIOR MEMBER!", more utter disbelief that this is a legitimate question and not him just trying to be funny because he's up late because there's no class at his junior high tomorrow.

Yep, I certainly think we all do.

Like I said, the bathing thing is weird to me, but the fact that he's taking this as a problem into consideration means somthing, no? Nonetheless, telling him to seek help and go to jail seems like some funny advice, but just what I'd expect.

But yes, I think the bathing comment was a little odd myself. Now I'm not entirely sure we should be taking this seriously.

Coming out of nowhere to post this question to GAMING AGE is not thoughtful consideration.

 

[miyuru]

I'm going to be really general and say that yeah, it's cool if you have that bond with your son.

But he's gotta be independent one day, which is what your wife seems to be getting at.

I agree with her. He'll always be your son, you're not going to lose him, though these experiences are going to end one day...IMO I'd end it soon.

 

[TekunoRobby]

EDIT: This is a joke thread that has grown some quasi-serious discussions about the matter. I salute the people who have taken it seriously and decided to address the matter.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Taken out of context, or did you not read my other posts? I've already told him this was a horrible place to post about it and should have talked to someone, or a group, more knowledgeable in such matters.

Well I believe everyone should shut the fuck up, because this isn't a serious topic anymore. It can't be. I took it seriously, but oohhh no, not anymore. This is what it gets me .

Nonetheless, telling him to seek help and go to jail seems like some funny advice, but just what I'd expect.

Well if it was natural in all respects, I wouldn't tell him to seek help or find jailtime.

Kind of funny at the same time I'm a tool. I'm exiting this, this is funny but at the same time it's pretty depressing and/or insulting.

'Cause here me and KG come naked,
Out of the side-hatch,
With the oils and perfume and incense.
Now you're groovin',
Put on a cool '70s groove.

A valid point to make, on cultural differences I mean. I seem to recall the 1996 case in Maine concerning the Afgan immigrant and the kissing of his son's penis as custom sign of affection. Of course, cultural issues aside though, I think the point on the child's psychological development is something to strongly consider too. This is especially taking the cultural differences into account. Now, assuming this isn't a joke thread, I think we can all agree that the child could develop some issues later on in life, with friends and possibly with any children that he might have. Might is of course just that, might, but it's still something to factor in.

 

[Bogeyker]

I respect you DarthWufei but I've been lurking for well over a month now and felt that this forum might be able to give me some sound advice and you have done just that yourself. Moreover, I am seeking advice from various methods and this is but one of them. People also jump to conclusions and a fine example is seen with the bathing and massage oils. I only use those on my son's back as he sits between my legs in a bubbled up bath tub. I do not even touch his genitalia or even come close to that region.

Thank you for the sound advice though and for being one of the very few mature ones here. I'll check in again tomorrow for any other practical and mature responses.

 

[fart]

i think the point is that it's probably time to wean him of this habit, dude. he's like, pretty old. i mean, sometime before he moves out, he'll have to sleep and bathe by himself.

Is English your native language? You're only making things funnier and funnier.

Good lord man.

 

[fart]

i'm pretty sure this guy's a joke character, but whatever. good luck with the kid.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Young kid: Daddy, daddy, let's take a hot bath! I have the massage oils ready!

Dad: Sure son! I'll rub the oils all over your back while you sit between my legs in the hot bubbly tub!

OH MAN I CAN'T HELP IT.

This is obviously for attention. Concise use of terminology and lexicon are two DEAD giveaways. As are your massage oil catch phrases. Didn't you take any psychology courses when you were in college, dad? Or did you ever grow up around real people?

:lol

Oh oh oh, a good tagline for Bogeyker: "Daddy's little helper" :lol :lol

 

[fennec fox]

Are you sure you've been here a month, troll? I mean, if you think this is a "mature" forum to talk about how you hop in the tub with your 10-year-old regularly, you must be looking at the wrong threads.

Do your other "various methods" include Howard Stern and the Somethingawful forums, perchance?

 

[Spiritreaver]

Very well, you're welcome for the respect as of now. I just wanted to give some advice in a way that was blantantly rude or meant to make fun.

If you're serious, than take my advice as I said. I've said just about what everyone else has said here within reason, but if you're just kidding around messing. Meh. Maybe someone will find this topic important in the future... I guess?

 

[Fifty]

I've seen tons of Nintendo trolls, but never a child bathing troll. Well done.

Utterly useless as this thread is, it'll be hailed as the thread of the junior member who liked to take massage oils from his 10-year-old son. And sleep. And whatever other nasty stuff.

Ouch.


:lol :lol :lol

 

[scorcho]

did anyone else get an erection just by reading the title?

son: daddy, why is the microphone spitting at me.
dad: it's alright boy. just don't grab it too hard and hum a bit more.

 

[Error Macro]

I think the general rule of thumb is: when the child starts popping boners in the bath, it's time to stop bathing with them. At least I think this is why my mom stopped taking baths with me.

 

[Vibri]

edit.

blah. this place is no fun anymore. i'm going back to my amanda bynes thread.

Anyways. I love that gay porn?

OK, I may have Lollerskated at vibri's post, but direct-linking to porno sites usually doesn't work out in the long run, so...

oh, i thought that was an eggplant.

Y'know, if the reveal wasn't so early, this could've been one of the all-time GAF classics.

Still hilarious. Well done

Bath time at the Caligula household!

 

[Drinky Crow]

Looks like all y'all got served, and by a junior member no less.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I guess it's ok...clearly your kid was raised different from me. I didn't even like getting hugged at 10, and I wouldn't dream of letting either parent see me naked. I don't know, maybe he'll be more comfortable being close to people in the future or just closer to you. I honestly don't like getting hugged by anyone now, male or female.

But my advice would be to keep it your little secret. God only knows how the neighbors would react if they found out. I'm not saying you should be ashamed or anything, but people do judge...the soccer moms have their fingers on the Child Protective Services button. You look at your kid the wrong way at a store and you're finished.

I'm sure this was common practice during times when water wasn't so available. Or people just didn't bathe at all, I don't know.

i feel obliged to post in the wierdest thread in GAs history.

You don fucked up son.

A classic troll made only funnier by the responses. Bogeyker is a genius.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

I have a 4 year old. I did that once when he was 3 (shower). It was cool once he stopped staring at things. He usually falls asleep faster when I lay down with him. He'll usually demand it in fact.

Nothing is scarier than a 3 foot sihouette running around in the dark @ 3am.
