I had a right side mastectomy 12 years ago and wear a silicon prosthesis in a normal bra. I also wear normal clothes with V or sometimes square necklines as these styles suit me better than high /round necks. Also I hate the trapped feeling high necks give me.
The problem I have is that my small grandchildren like to pull at the neckline of tops and will sometimes stick their hands down my cleaveage. They then encounter a very strange boob and look at me questioningly. The older ones have tried to pull the boob out and I divert their attention -successfully so far.
But any idea how I explain what the 'thing' is doing down grandmas top? How did it get there and why
I dont want to say the wrong thing and either make them more inquisitive or scared.
If the question is real. There is a very simple answer to the problem. Wear higher necked tops when with your grandchildren. That way they will not be able to put their hands down your sweater and fumble your breasts. After a few months they will; get out of the habit and you can go back to your usual tops.
I think the OP is making a mountain out of a molehill, so to speak. Whether you have had a mastectomy or not it is inappropriate for your DGC to be fumbling your breasts. You should have stopped it before it started. Just stop it now by the means suggested. No explanations are necessary.
If children are shoving their hands down your front it makes no difference that you've had a mastectomy; they need to be told not to do it. I'm surprised they haven't been corrected before. I wouldn't explain about the op you've had because the the behaviour is unacceptable anyway. its bad manners. Imagine if they did it to the playgroup leader or an elderly neighbour for example?
One of DSIL's friends was born in Italy and I have never heard anyone swear as much (or as foully). However, he has managed to bring up a delightful daughter
I'm half Italian and my middle name is Florence. My mother was from Tuscany....chianti country, so Florence and Siena were her nearest big cities. I'm a Brummie myself. ?

GNHQ said, in response to my reporting it, that the poster had been a member for some time and that they had no reason to doubt him/her. They are going to look at the name though. Meanwhile, where have they gone, hmmm...
Perhaps the OP could return to the thread and perhaps give us more detail. How did this habit ever start? Why didn't she stop it immediately.
My DGC used to make a grab for my glasses when they were babies and in a family of spec wearers, nobody thought twice about discouraging that habit. How does this habit differ?
If she doesn't respond, we will reach the obvious conclusion about this thread.
I too googled this early on and was a little surprised . Thing is, the post seems genuine enough, not really very school-childish. And if it is 'one of those posts', then what a very odd theme to choose! Then again, all these responses and the OP hasn't returned to the thread....
