BTDT Mom's WWYD

I have one of Damien's friends over. I overhear them talking about a boy in their class. Saying he's mean yada,yada,yada...then my DS's friend says he told me to have sex with Janelle (a girl in their class). I then hear my son say he told me to have sex with Krystal (DS's friends 8 year old sister). Then Damien said sex is kissing you naked all over. I am FREAKING out. I have over 20 years of experience with children under 5 and can answer any question you have about them. I am soooo in foreign territory here. I already texted my DH (he's working) and we are going to talk to Damien tomorrow. Now do I tell DS friends mother/father about what I heard? I have only met them when they dropped him off last week for a play date and we spoke for a few seconds so I am a little bit uncomfortable with it. My DH (the voice of reason) says that we would want to know if it happened at their house. WWYD?
OH I am going to let the teacher know what I overheard.

I always go with the approach, What would I like done if the roles were reversed? And I would SOoooo hope that you would tell me. I have a 9 year old, so I get it. Lots is changing at this age and I had my DD ask me what Bi-Sexual was? She told me that the kids on the bus were talking about it

Re: BTDT Mom's WWYD

yikes.....i'd tell. I think you are on the right path...

Re: BTDT Mom's WWYD

I am not exactly BTDT, but i do have 2 teenage stepkids

I would definitely tell the other parents, and just kinda start the conversation off honestly... "I am very uncomfortable telling you this, but this is what I overheard while X and X had a play date today..."

My lord, it is sooo young, but perhaps you need to have "the talk" with your son, at this age, I would say at least the "watered down" version. Good luck.

So of course the stepfather picks him up I told him though and he appreciated it.

Thanks everyone

Re: BTDT Mom's WWYD

I'm glad you told him, but man that must have been uncomfortable! It was the right thing, though!!!

Re: BTDT Mom's WWYD

You did the right thing! I am sure the parent appreciate it. I used to teach 1st graders last year. Thank goodness I never heard anything crazy from them. They were pretty innocent. Kids these days know too much too soon.

Re: BTDT Mom's WWYD

I am not BTDT, but I think if he is talking about sex, then it is time to have "the talk" with him.

And yes, I would tell the other parents.

Re: BTDT Mom's WWYD

First I would call this boy's mom and let him know what you just overheard them talking about so she doesn't think he picked this up at your house.
Then I would bring it to the teacher's attention. Damien is 6...right? I really don't think it is normal for a 6 year old to be talking about sex so I would think that something could (I emphasize could, might be nothing) be amiss at this boy's home.
I would probably try to casually question Damien about this further when the friend goes home. Let his mom ask more questions if she wants to. But I would try to see what other kinds of things this boy at school is saying.
Tough!!
