Boy gets sex talk at sleepover

A mom was left shocked and "disappointed" to discover her nine-year-old son was given a sex education talk when he was at a friend's sleepover.

The post, which was written on Mumsnet, has left many users shocked after her son was given a lesson in 'sex' education by his friend's 15-year-old brother, who schooled the child about sexual intercourse and condoms.

Writing in the post, the outraged mum wrote: "I was slightly disappointed that we hadn't got in there first with 'the talk', but happy he had come to me to talk about it, so we went over everything.

"At one point, he asks me if sex makes a baby every time. I said, 'No, you can use contraception.' He said, 'Like condoms?'"

She then writes about how her son found out about the 'talk':

"Apparently what happened was at his friend's sleepover his 15-year-old brother had come into the room and told them about sex and condoms. So we talked about the age of consent and emotional maturity and things."

"Right at the end, I mentioned porn, and just said that he'd probably hear people mention it, but that it was a very false type of sex, and in some cases, it can be very addictive and impact upon relationships.

"Son goes all quiet and then says, actually, his friend's big brother told them to Google porn, so they did. They watched it (about six of his classmates) and then they all thought it was a bit wrong so they turned it off.

One shocked user replied: "I would go to town on it. It's so inappropriate."

Mom breastfeeds child until age nine

A British mother claims that breastfeeding her daughter until age nine created a lifelong bond.

Sharon Spink - a 50-year-old mum of four from Sherburn in Elmet, North Yorkshire - said she nursed her youngest daughter Charlotte, nine, up until eight weeks ago when she no longer yearned for 'mommy milk'.

According to the Daily Mail, Spink said breastfeeding her girls has created a strong bond because she has good health thanks to the nutrients.

The World Health Organisation recommends that all babies be exclusively breastfed for six months, then gradually introduced to appropriate family foods after six months while continuing to breastfeed for around two years.

Although she sees no problems with breastfeeding her older children, she admits that she has been criticised for doing so.

She revealed that some have labelled it as a form of child abuse.
