Should Children Witness Childbirth?

[buckhunter]

Some may have seen this before but to those who haven't......   Due to a power outage only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3 yr old to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently. Kathleen did as he asked.
   Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom.
   Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3 yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.
    Kathleen quickly responded, "he shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place.....smack his little a@@ again!"

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a child of any age witnessing child birth.  The only thing that will destroy the innocence of a child would be to see his/her mother naked.  Under no circumstances should that ever happen.

OH NO!! Musicman! I think for once I have to agree with you!! You're not going to come back with a punchline are you? If not I will agree 100%!!

I'm still trying to repress the day I was born.  What an awful sight that was.

[Ninny]

AAARRRRGGGG!!! You do it to me every time!!!!! WHY do I ever think you could be serious??? 
Well, even in your weirdness You ARE right! (not the part about when you were born!) Besides, I don't think you were born...I think you were planted! yep I think you're an alien cabbage patch doll! hehehe!!

hi, all

Is there an age limit on seeing your parents naked?  What about breast feeding? isn't that naked?  Is it based on gender?  Mothers and their young daughters (up to a certain age) take baths/showers together. 

I know there is a scripture for this, I will look it up

Just putting my 2 cents in, though.

By the way, Buckhunter, that was very funny, thank you
