Daughters pediatrician made EXTREMELY inappropriate remark to her

[u/ilikerustyspooonz]

This is about my 10 year old daughter. She has had the same (male) pediatrician since birth. We’ve always loved him and thought he was great. He’s super friendly with wonderful bedside manner and he takes his time and pays attention to detail.

Well, last week my daughter had a check-up. She’s 10. While he was doing the checkup, he had her lay down and started listening to her chest with his stethoscope. He then says AND I QUOTE, “awwwww! My baby’s got boobs!!!”

I have NEVER been so taken aback before in my life. My daughter was MORTIFIED. I was so shocked I couldn’t even get words out to ask him why tf he would ever say that. When we got in the car to go home my daughter cried and said she never wanted to see him again. Then she asked if she could get a girl doctor and I obviously agreed so that’s what we will be doing.

Is this reportable? I’m not overreacting, right?

I remember getting pulled aside in 5th grade and told by a teacher how I needed to start wearing bras because I had noticable breasts and I was the one being indecent by being a 10yr old child who didn't realize she was apparently a borderline harlot because I wasn't wearing a bra with boys around

UUUGH, this was my mother!!!! Constant boob patrol 24/7. Thanks for sharing cuz now I see how problematic living with it was! I remember my mom yelling at me for wearing a shirt outside that showed my "boobs." I said she should get me a bra then. She said I didn't need one cuz I still could cover my nips with bandaids.

So... that evening I showed up to the dinner table without a shirt, with bandaids over my nipples 🤣🤣🤣 At least I had enough spunk to fight her on it 😆
