Sure The Baby Sitter



Sure I knew she was bathing them together
years ago (back then I did it that way too) ,
but I just assumed that this had stopped at some point
(in regards to the older boy) erections and all.

When my husband and I are not at home.
The boys don't bath together unless the baby sitter.
And furthermore,
the older boy
became shy about his body about two years ago
and hasn't allowed me to see him standing since.
I assumed that this shyness applied to all women,
and girls at school but apparently it only applies to me.

When I asked him about the ongoing bath arrangement,
the older boy didn't really want to talk about it.

Still I thought that was kind of weird
for a 13-year-old to be getting baths from his baby-sitter,
so I gently suggested to her that the older boy
should start taking baths by himself.

And now the 13-year-old is furious with me.
He says he really liked it when she washed his hair
and that I ruined it (like I ruin anything) .
He wants me to tell her that they can go back to how it was.
He even threatened to call child protective services.

I'm torn about this.
I really don't think there was anything unseemly going on,
at least with me but at the same time
I don't know if letting his baby sitter bathe him
is a good idea or not.
He seems to have grown and matured since this started.

What should the other people think if they could.

Whoa! I would have been able to handle that as a personal message IIP but open to the scope of poemhunter I would say it's not a good position your in right now. :) I know what I would do and say but I'll keep it to myself...for now. Best Regards. Craig
