Re: If your child asks you about gay parents of his friend

i just had this conversation with my 8 year old twins a few weeks ago lol! it started innocently enough…thing 1 and thing 2 were arguing about something, and thing 1 said “you have to respect me because i’m older than you by 20 minutes!” and that led to #2 asking why his twin was older than him when they had the same birthday…and so i started to explain how they were each born one at a time but the doctor had to take them out from my tummy separately (one was born vaginally and the other c section) and that led to them asking how they even got in there to begin with so i took a deep breath and gave them a modified version of how pregnancy happens…that their papa and i each have parts in us that makes a baby and that moms are the ones who carry the baby because dads don’t have the organs necessary to do it…they were both quiet for a minute and then thing #2 said…“ya, i already learned all that from watching Animal Planet”

lol too cute, you handled it really good.
