My stepson is 10. He says his mom has talked about boy parts to him, but not educated him on the female body. Is this something I should let her talk to him about or should I mention something? It seems she has no interest in educating him at all about females.
I've taught him about pregnancy and nursing as I went through it when he's asked me questions on the topic. Such as when I was reading a pregnancy book while I was pregnant, and he looked over my shoulder and saw a drawing of a woman's body going through changes throughout pregnancy, the only comment he made was, ew, gross, it shows her boobies! (even though it was showing the whole body down to the knees). So I asked him why he thought it was gross, and he said cuz boobs aren't supposed to naked because they're icky. So I told him it's only shown in this book because it's showing physical changes in a female body during pregnancy. He said, oh, and continued to ask questions about pregnancy and the female body and I answered as he asked until he was satisfied. He was 8 yrs old at that time. I also told him breasts aren't icky, they are for feeding babies. He said, ew, gross. I said that is what babies are fed, breastmilk and I said that's what you did when you were a baby, and he asked, I did, I said yes, for over a year, because that's what babies eat. Breasts are for feeding babies.
We went through the same thing recently when I began breastfeeding my older daughter again. He said it's gross, because she's too old for it. We talked about it until he was satisfied that it's not gross for me and Abigail and that's the only two people it should matter to.
I asked him one day what he knows about sex and he said his mom told him all about boy stuff. I asked if she had told him anything about girls, and he said, no, cause I'm not a girl. I let it drop at that. Should I teach him anything at this point? Andif so, what?
ETA: He's homeschooled, so no sex ed for him from a teacher. His only source is his mom for now.

My dh and I both play and thankfully no obsession issues here... but I was going to suggest that you get his username and password, go to worldofwarcraft.com and set up some parental controls..
