BIRDS AND THE BEES

We are back for another attempt to teach Bobby how to be a dad. The operative word being attempt. Today we’re talking about the birds and the bees, and a few other awkward conversations that parents have with their children.

It turns out I inherited Bobby’s messy gene. I’m over here trying to set a great example of how to clean up after yourself and I realize that I’m still acting like the parent in the relationship. 

But today we’ve decided to attempt to tackle a parenthood rite of passage, the birds and the bees talk. This is going to be an uncomfortable one, Bobby’s always been a little inappropriate so it’s going to be interesting to see if he can manage to teach me about the birds and the bees and other important topics without going into details that aren’t appropriate for the talk.

This episode is packed full of tidbits of information you probably never knew (and maybe didn’t need to), like why it’s actually called the birds and the bees. But that’s not the only father-daughter talk we’re going to have today, we’re tackling ALL of the topics he missed out on when I was a teen. Sit in while we have a (somewhat painful) chat about getting your first period, how babies are made and having protected sex. Don’t worry, we’re all a little bit confused.

These are all important talks that parents have with their children as they grow up, but since I had a distant relationship with my dad we didn’t have any of them. They’re a little awkward, but a truly important step.

I should point out that Bobby gets a point for doing what he describes as a “dad thing” and helping me with a slight computer issue. This episode is a wild ride, probably my favorite so far, so enjoy!
