For Those With Kids......

[Tyger]

How embarrassed did you get when your beloved little angel came running out of the bedroom with your favorite vibrator?

Thankfully, the one time (so far) that my daughter DID this, we were alone, so it was no big deal. I told her that that was Mommies and not to play with. But I could still feel my blushing starting!!

[chickenmom]

I had my silver bullet in my purse in my truck when my 10 year old daughter decided to go through it. She pulled the bullet out and asked what it was. I looked and was, needless to say, mortified. I told her to put it back, and reprimanded her for going through my purse completely ignoring what she found. She never did ask what it was thankfully.

[whiskeywoman]

I thought I had a safe hiding spot for mine.

I have learned though that no matter how well hidden or how sacred a place may be, it is never safe from children.

My ex came over to pick up the 3 girls for a visit.

I went downstairs to throw a load of clothes in the dryer, when I returned, the 2 eldest girls had found my toys and had ALL of them spread out on the bed showing their daddy how funny the rabbit looked when his ears wiggled, and how hysterical it was when you turned on the rotations.

To say I was mortified would be a major understatment.

I think at that point in time I wished I could become the size of a speck of dust.

Daddy dearest didn't help the situation at all, he was sitting there giggling his head off and said "who knew mommy was such a freak"?

I quietly collected them up, told him to leave, his visit was being cancelled due to the girls being grounded for going into my areas.

He stopped giggling, the girls went to their room.

I calmed down and then reprimanded them for invading my "space"

I tried very hard to ignore their questions, saying only that they were mine.

Now I am hoping that they are in a much safer place.

[Tyger]

OMG Whiskeywoman!!! I would've died!! Bet their Daddy was kinda questioning "why" y'all are ex's!!

*sorry*

[nosleepnmesa]

Well my little one has found my favorite friends and I have to admit it was my fault in a sense. I have most of them under my bed in a lock box and the doors that open to go under my bed is locked to. Well I forgot about the small box in my closet and left the closet door open. I just had gotten out of the shower with my little friend the head twister and low and behold their is my little one in my closet opening the boxes and checking out my toys.

Since he is only 3yrs old I was embarassed about it at all. He said what this I said mommies toys put them back. He did. Now when it came to my daughter it was a little different she ran upstairs to grab my hairbrush sense she couldnt find hers. Well I forgot that I had left John holmes in the tub to dry one night. She yelled dad, and of course he went up the stairs with me right behind him, I knew she had found it before I even got to the top. My daughter is 10 so needless to say I knew the questions were coming. I have to say my husband handled it well, he said that is your mothers, sorry she left that out and if you have any questions regarding it then ask away while we are right here. My daughter said no I think I know what it is for, I asked her if she was okay she said yes. I then told her I was sorry for leaving it out she said,"mom it isn't your fault but we might need to talk later." After she left the room to finish getting ready for school my husband and I stood there in shock of all the ones for me to leave out.

I am not sure if you all remember, but when I posted about my son finding my toys, he was showing them to a friend of his (both 4 1/2 years old) and they had no idea what they were. It was my fault for having them under the bed in easy to open containers. While he, nor his friend, had any idea what the toys were, there will be a day when he will realize that the penises under Mommy's bed look a little like his (only bigger!)

I had to get special lock boxes made, and still put more into the basement. I am not sure what to do with all these toys! I have so many - and honestly, I use almost all of them in rotation! There are a few I could "disspose of" but for the most part, I love my toys.

I think we as parents need to anticipate that our children will stumble upon our adult items - toys, videos, porn mags - and try our best to keep it from them as long as possible! Sex and pornography are ADULT items - not for children. Being pre-exposed to such things can cause issues later. I know my teenager (when he gets that old) will start to look for porn - so be it. If he finds it as I found my father's, then he gets a little thrill - that is part of growing up. However, my 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc. year old should not have easy access to some things which may confuse him greatly!

While I do not think he would know what half of these toys are - I am most sure he could tell the people in Penthouse or Playboy are naked! Nor would I want to explain to him the back of a porn box! So, for now, I keep all my adult playthings hidden - it is my responsibility as a parent!

Am I embarrassed? No. Am I now more cautious? YES!!

ok you guys have really made me change how i put toys away AGAIN

the funny thing is my silver bullet was in my purse for later on today its now back in the box until much later because my 2yr old loves to go in my purse when were around company

[timidtwo]

I can understand the embarrassment if your child finds your toys before you feel ready to explain what it is and why you have it. I don't understand being embarrassed when other adults find out you have toys. If anything, they should be embarrassed because they don't have them! Toys are a wonderful addition to a normal, healthy sex life. With all the scheduling problems couples have today, toys allow us to enjoy life, reduce daily stresses and tension when our partner is not around, and keep our sexuality in tune for our lover's benefit when we can get together. Exactly where is the downside of this?

Howard

The kids are a tough one because of the premature timing the revelation can occur, that's for sure.

Lucky for us, it was while no one else was at home. My 11 yr old son came out of the bedroom once night and said to my wife,

"Hey mom, what's this? All it does is vibrate!"

Being this was not long after we started using toys she didn't know what to say, other than,

"Put it back where you found it. Its your father's!!!"

--------------

As far as other adults, I agree with howard. THEY should be the ones embarassed that they don't have any, we shouldn't be embarassed that we do!

They should be jealous, not suspicious.

But, with today's environment of political correctness, (which, for the most part, I have absolute DISTAIN for.) and unable to discuss anything sexual anywhere, it seems that anyone who does talk about it is rude, crude and socially unacceptable!

That is the time most people call for the TMI (too much information) police to arrest you. Or they can't possibly believe that you are ACTUALLY talking like that, because you are not supposed to "kiss and tell".

Hi all, Im new here and saw this topic and had to add.

My son is 3 and recently my dad was over for a visit.

I went to shower and when I came out to my horror my "little buddy" was laying in the middle of my living room floor, in all its splendor.

I guess my little guy wanted to show Papa mommas "back massager"

I was and still am a little horrified.

[WifeMomSlave]

you know this is a good topic and it got me thinking. My kids are 4, 7, and 8 years old and I dont think they would find them as they know my room is off limits, however things happen. My question is what if your child finds your toys and has questions about what it is for and why do I have it? I have thought about this before...would it be ok to just say that it is a back messager or something...just so they have an answer? I dont like to lie to my kids and try to be very open about everything so is it ok to tell a little white lie in this case?what do you think?

[Tyger]

Well, my daughter is almost 4, and right now, if she sees one (while drying after a cleaning or something), I tell her it's just one of Mommy's toys that she can't touch or play with.

Another response is that it's a massager (not necassarily a back massager) since that's what they sometimes say on the package themselves, and you're not lying to them, since, that's what it does:massages. They just don't need to know what PART they massage!

I'm not embarrassed by my toys, since I've even brought a few out to show off to my girlfriends. But, I think the embarrassment comes when it's a surprise that you may not want to show to other people, like exes or parents. A private part of your life, that is none of their business! I sure as hell don't want MY mother seeing my collection!!

[timidtwo]

Nicely put, howard!

Kids today, more than ever are forced to grow up, too fast!

Let them grow up first, and then learn about it at an appropriate time.

I talked to my 11 year old son about the time he found the vibrators.

I told him, matter of fact-like, without scolding or making it sound like

he was compromising National Security:

"First of all, You're not in trouble!

For now, I just want you to know that those are

for something you will understand more about later in life.

Until then, we just want you to know that those belong to us,

and kids don't need to have them or understand them.

Fair enough?

He agreed, and hasn't said, done or asked another thing since!

Of course, they are now in a little black bag, locked in the closet, too.

[zimmersdreamer]

i agree with howard on this topic. i was not the person who got found on i was the finder... i was about 6 and my mom was in her BI phase of life so i found a few toys to this day i have no idea what they are..but.. my mom simply put that they were hers and i didnt need to know what they were for, i had toys she didnt play with and she had toys i didnt play with.

my Daughter found my toy dryinh on the counter in the bathroom between our rooms and i simply said thank you and opt it up. she is two so i had no explaining to do but i also was in no way shape or form embarrassed. it happens.

[colletteski]

lol, I have a great story! ha ha I went to a baby shower for one of my friend of a friends whom I didn't know very well. There were a lot of people there that didn't know each other well so it was sort of uncomfortable for everyone, not much conversations going on. There was a back room that the mother to be had designated for the kids that had come with their mothers to play in. She was not a mother yet, and her home was not very child proof, kids kept going in to rooms they weren't supposed to and running around a little crazily. The mother to be said it was allright to let them run and have fun. Anyway, one little boy who was about 3 1/2 found a vibrator that had a suction cup on the end and stuck it to his forehead and came running out saying he was a unicorn!! lmbo! Funniest thing I've ever seen in my life! ha ha ha!!! The conversation went well afterwards ha ha I think everyone had somethign to talk about after that.

[sun_flower969]

LOL OK so here I am on the computer, my 3 year old at the time was in my room I did not see what she was doing. I owned 2 vibrators at the time 1 that I had used a handful of times and another (a pink slimline g) that I had got for free and had NEVER used.

So she is behind me and I hear her say "OOoh I love ice cream". I was like "oh you like ice cream?" Without turning around. Then I thought what is she talking about? so I turned and I shit you not, she had the pink slimline and was licking it like a lollipop!!!!! I SCREAMED... and then, "NO no" I said, "that is not a toy" (well it is but...) and I took it from her! Holy crap that was funny!

[sass]

That's a great story! Only one I have is a friend whose daughter heard her and husband talking about the "rabbit in the drawer" and the little girl - a 8 years old - started crying about her parents keeping a bunny rabbit in the drawer and not letting her pet it! I never did hear how they explained that one.

[tootimidtoo]

I just barely bought a box that I can put a lock on for my toys and keep them in the top of my closet. My kids are 2 1/2 and 5. The other day my 2 1/2 year old brought my lady bug in the living room and set it in my lap. Luckily I was home alone. I took that as a sign to invest in the box!

[tkla]

I have a pink G-spot vibe, and my 1 1/2 year old daughter and three year old son have both gotten ahold of it, my son is convinced it's a phone! lol He always asks to play with the pink phone, kid has a memory like an elephant

[Guest eminatic]

jeeze am i the only kid in the world that did NOT dig through my parents' stuff (or any stuff that was not mine for that matter)?

haha i guess that children who are not beaten really DO behave worse

[colletteski]

I never found my parents things, but ya know we weren't allowed in their room and it was locked for the most part so ha ha

[whitefang2002]

I had gone through my parents things....and found it all!!!!

My daughter found my stuff...but she is only 2 so I didn't have to explain it. Just told her to put it back. And once she found my lube...she started pouring it alll over her hands because she thought it was lotion! lol.

em...as for the beating thing. I suffered that...but still snooped!

[mailahn97]

I snooped in my parents room to the point I got myself in trouble. I was in 5th grade and found my moms playgirl magazine. I took it with me to school to show the girls. I got sent to the principals office and they made me call my mom and tell her what I did....she was mortified. Now we laugh and joke about it.

[ladylove]

mortified......But my kids would know exactly what they were looking at. My youngest is 16

[tmmc]

My son, too, has used flavored lube as lotion. To which he told me "Yum..Lotion taste good" How can you do anything but laugh about that?! He also found my bullet and thought it was a back massager, which I'll put my cell phone on vibrate and rub his back so he wanted me to do it with that. I told him that was for mom and grabbed my cell phone for his back. Now everything is in a box in my closet on a high up shelf where I can just barely reach it so its safe from curious kids.

He is too young to worry about it. And I remember when my sister found my mom's toys, it was just another chance for an open dialogue. Though there were lots of open dialogues with my mom. I remember her, at christmas time, making a fudge penis for a friend who hadn't gotten any in a long time.

I love that! I would SO do it! I think I am going to post a thread about remembering out parents stuff. Should be fun!
