  • Oh man, I SUCK. 7 year old DD just asked me where babies come from and I literally choked. I stuttered, stammered and she actually said to me "I'll ask you when I'm a little older"

    • don't listen to these bitches -- i don't care how cool they pretend to be (or maybe *are*, what do i know?) that is a HARD conversation. make a plan now for how to answer it and go back to her. try going with "babies grow from an egg the mommy's body makes" and see if she actually has any more questions.

        • i have had this prepared, because i have a seriously curious 4 yo ds. asks all sorts of age inappropriate questions. this answer to the baby question was enough for him, though, thank god.

    • The good news is you can easily go back to her and tell her that she asked you an important question and you needed time to think about how to respond. But I'm a psychologist and it's important that you re-address this so she doesn't get the message that you can't tolerate her questions. You're a good mom for realizing that your response wasn't ideal. GL!

    • Get her a book about it. Then you can guide your discussion from that.

    • you were caught of guard. take a little time to think about your response and bring it up again with her. my 6 y/o did the same thing to me a couple week ago and i almost spit diet pepsi out my nose
