I disagree there is no age limit when it comes to assistance with your own child. Now if there are patterns and you sense something is off l certainly would investigate the situation and that goes for mom and daughter too. This world is so sick that people fear the worst and l donāt blame people.

It could literally be the dad helping the child.
Unless the kid is afraid or reluctant to let the dad in, itās most likely fine.

Theses comments needs help. Nothing wrong with it. Most dads arenāt sick. And if a child canāt ask a parent a personal issue that they are unsure then how are they supposed to know. I have a special needs child who I had to tell your body will be going through changes and anything just ask.

If a child needs his fathers help he should be able to ask without it being sexualized. What is wrong with you? Heās got questions so he turns to his dad for help as any kid would turn to a parent. Unless that child feels like itās wrong then you really need to mind your own business Karen and let a father be a father to his child.

I think a boy needs his dad, especially when it comes to asking about his body, the fact that you automatically assume the worst is just mind boggling, obviously the boy and his dad know their relationship and are comfortable with each other, would you be asking the same question if it were an 11 year old girl and her mum? Probably notš¤¦āāļø

Coming from a survivor of CSA I donāt think this is weird at all. My husband & I have four sons and if there is ever something that needs to be checked heās the one to do it because he is their dad & imo 11 is too old for the mother to be doing this but not the father. Just like if it was a daughter and mother. To me this is just normal parenting. Sometimes kids have questions about their bodies that only their parents can answer & if you canāt trust your parents then who can you trust?

Yes I would be extremely worried about a dad HELPING his son out with bodily issues! Honestly what is wrong with you! I have 2 boys and there is no way I would question it if they asked their dad for help with anything in the bathroom or any bodily issue, Iāve hope if my boys think anything is wrong or need any help that theyāll never be ātoo oldā to ask for help of one of us. Iām 32 and I still ask my mother if I think something is wrong even my dad if I canāt get hold of my mother and Iām worrying.

I think this may be made worse than what it actually is. My son is 14 and when he first got pubic hair he was so excited he showed my husband who is his stepfather. He also had an infection on his foreskin and also would only show my husband and not me or his father. My husband helps my son whenever he can and no there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. My son feels extremely comfortable with my husband with problems he is either embarrassed or nervous about. He also spoke to my husband about sexual intercourse because his friends were talking about it. This is whatās wrong with the world and why men are scared to be alone with children. My husband has always said he loves that my son is so open and close with him and he said no matter how awkward he feels he will always help my son if he asks for it whether itās actually or to explain what is meant to be kept privet etc. Iām more worried in why you would think this is so wrong??

I use the bathroom with the door wide open, because Iām tired of my door being pounded on, my boyfriend is a little more discreet, but you should either trust the dad or significant other, or not be with themā¦. Plus, if you donāt trust the dad, are you gonna go in with the 11 y/o to help them??
Would it be wrong if it was the mum? Probably not right?

If it sounds weird to you may be super normal for others. Dadās especially to young boys who are going through changes of course know more than moms and are more comfortable showing dads then their moms. Iām my household bodyās are not dirty or nasty, we change in front of eachother have conversations with my children while they are showering or Iām showering same with dad. We DO NOT sexualize the human body we explain things to our children and are completely open to them! So maybe you shouldnt judge other parents on how they parent.

This is the reason it is important for a good role model/dad to be in the picture. Thereās just some things a mother canāt teach or answer for a son! When sons hit puberty, theyāre uncomfortable coming to mom about what theyāre going through or feeling. GOOD dads are NOT going to think about sexualizing their kids. If thereās something going on, theyāre going to examine, help and move on. Just like daughters are with moms. Daughters are going to have questions that dads canāt answer. So, we as mothers do the same. If thereās an issue, we examine, help and move on. Thatās what we are supposed to do. Just because they hit puberty, doesnāt mean you leave them to fend for themselves. You help guide them and if itās something serious and you donāt examine it, what happens? Yep, an expensive bill and regrets. Let parents be parents and just because there are sick people in the world doesnāt mean thatās what every parent is. Itās the GOOD parents who are questioned because of the as*hats who are wrong doing children! Let that man be a dad and help his childā¦ TF?!

Wow um no thats not too old
Who hurt you? I get it bc I was the one being hurt but growing up and seeing how normal families function I realized, this is normal. This is what its supposed to be like. My husbandās mom would still shower him if needed and heās 30. I used to think it was weird. Different culture but so full of love. A lot of these answers are too harsh. I hope you realize it isnāt these kids that are suffering, it was kids brought up and exposed to trauma at a young age that have this mindset. You have to change that, for your children.

My 14 year old daughter still has me help her put powder or cream on her chapped thighs. I have been in the bathroom when shes using the restroom or in the shower. We get dressed infront of each other. Is it wrong? I dont think so. Im her mother theres nothing wrong with it. Its not sexual. So why is it wrong for a dad and son? Nothing you have said sounds sexual or like the dad is taking advantage of his son so why make it sound like a bad thing? Boys have questions about there changing bodies just like girls do. If he has questions or concerns about his body who better to ask then his dad?

Im 35 almost 36 and if something was odd and i needed something to be looked at she would come in with me. My mom also seen my whole area when I was in labor, is that odd. Noā¦ It is normal for a boy who is going threw puberty to ask his father for help in identify certain changes. My son unfortunately didnāt have that and it was me. Was that weird also cause I am a female and his mother. I mean people like you need to stop and quit making it hard for parents to parent.

People seriously weird me out with these questions. Itās the childās father, it is okay. They will have questions, they will have things that seem scary and they depend on us for answers. Just let him be a father. If you REALLY think something is up, talk about safety when it comes to his private areas and what is normal and not normal and tell him to come to you if anyone does or says anything they are not suppose to.
