A man recently fought against his mother-in-law, who informed him that young girls don’t have “real” private parts.
His Daughter Was Unwell.
The man’s daughter recently had an illness and was experiencing some diarrhea.
“My four-year-old daughter has a stomach bug and has been having some diarrhea. My wife needed to take our son to an appointment, and I needed to WFH today, so my MIL came to watch after our daughter.”
She Offered To Help.
The man was on a Zoom call when his daughter needed to use the bathroom, so his mother-in-law took her instead.
“A bit later, my daughter approached me and asked me to wipe her. I said to her, ‘Didn’t Grandma help you?’ She knows how to wipe, but with her having diarrhea, we’re helping her. She said yes, but ‘Grandma wiped [her] wrong.’ She said Grandma wiped in instead of out. We’ve taught her to wipe out instead of in.”
He Confronted Her.
The man is aware of how females should wipe in the opposite direction of their private parts, so he confronts his mother-in-law.
“I excused myself from my meeting to help wipe my daughter correctly. I went to find my MIL in the kitchen. I asked her, [daughter] says you wiped in instead of out? She said, ‘I wiped her. You think there’s a better way?’”
The Mother-in-law Didn’t Think She’d Done Anything Wrong.
He explained that the way she had wiped her granddaughter wasn’t correct.
“I told her it’s not healthy to wipe in. You need to wipe out. She said, and you have that part? I said no, but I have a daughter, and I won’t let her get an infection by wiping poop into her privates.”
She Said Something Utterly Shocking.
The woman tried to defend herself with the most ridiculous logic.
“She said, ‘[daughter] doesn’t have a real part yet, there’s no chance of infecting anything.’ I said, ‘What…? Of course, she has a real part. She’s a female.’ She said girls don’t have real privates until they are teenagers. And there’s no chance of any infection because their privates don’t develop until they’re a teenager. I was… dumbfounded. And I got angry.”
He Was Flabbergasted.
He challenged the woman as to why she could advocate this nonsense.
“I told her, ‘You’re a woman, you raised three daughters, I’m married to one… you can’t possibly be this stupid?’ She told me I was out of line and said if I couldn’t appreciate her help, then she was leaving. I told her I’m perfectly, in fact, definitely more capable than her of caring for my daughter and that she’s welcome to get out.”
He Threw Her Out.
The woman stormed off in a huff.
“She did leave, and about ten minutes later, my wife called me and said her mom was furious with me and said I was terrible to her and made her leave without any reason. After explaining, my wife is on my side.”
He Wanted To Know If He Was In The Wrong.
The mother-in-law couldn’t see the error of her ways, and the man took to a popular online community to ask if he was wrong for calling the woman out.
Here’s What The Community Had To Say.
“Absolutely preposterous.”
Users couldn’t believe the woman’s logic. One user said this:
“NTA, your MIL is profoundly stupid, not for not knowing how to wipe, but for not realizing that 4yo girls have fully formed genitals. God knows what other pearls of wisdom she has in her brain.”
Generational Misinformation.
Many users questioned whether this woman was a product of her upbringing.
“That seems to be a generational/family cultural thing. Some people refuse to believe in genitalia for children. They seriously think mentioning it before puberty is wrong, and you will go to hell.”
Education Is Severely Lacking.
Even in Western parts of the world, education leaves a lot to be desired, and it’s no wonder so many people are misinformed about anatomical issues. One user said, “There are women that are having babies in 2023 that don’t realize that urine and babies don’t come from the same hole, and that’s basic.”
Endless Cycle Of Stupidity.
Because the lack of biology in schools is not good enough in most places, children learn from home.
“Unfortunately, there are children today that are still being misinformed by their parents who were misinformed by their parents in an endless cycle of teaching without ever verifying they know the correct info.”
Religious Interference
Oftentimes, education in schools is lapse (or non-existent) because of religion overlapping into the academic sector.
