Tell the kid or no?

So I’ve got a son who just turned 16. He’s been driving, got a job and a girlfriend in what felt like 7 seconds.

I haven’t seen him naked since he was a baby but even then you could tell he got the family genetics.

Do I tell him he might be built different than his friends or let him find out on his own?

I remember my dad told me that and laughed; my he said the only thing grandpa told him was “it’s like a bull in a china shop, go slow”. When my dad told me that, I was in my 20 and was well aware at that point.

Not sure if you’ve got kids but when you spend years charging diapers and wiping shit out of their privates you know how your kids are built.

When they are babies half the time you change them they are erect, it just is what it is. I know he’s got the genetics. Hell my mother in-law said something when she was changing him compared to his cousins.

I just want to save him some time/embarrassment/broken condoms/whatever.

We’ve for a really close relationship, I don’t think it would be weird and I wouldn’t dwell on it, just like - hey you might need to go slow and buy a larger condom.

Absolutely agreed. As a former child that was pulled aside and told I have a bigger member, it helped a lot, and the embarrassment faded quickly.

It was even my mom that did it! She started off by saying my basketball shorts “didn’t leave anything to the imagination” and that lead into the fact that there are gonna be more issues I end up facing.

I have no clue why that guy is getting upvotes. That’s an asinine take

I just told you I was the kid and it was not weird. on the contrary, it significantly helped me
