Embarrassing situation created by infants.

When my kids were old enough to ask where they came from I told them that same thing, they came from the hospital. As they got older they asked where they were before that and I told them the God allowed mommy and daddy to have a baby. The older they got the more honest details I gave them and by the time they were in 3rd grade they knew almost everything. I always gave them age-appropriate answers and no tall tales. When they were older they asked about how to not have babies and I educated them on all the different ways to avoid pregnancies. They are 23 and 24 now and know where babies come from and how to control their reproduction. I'm proud of them and happy that they won't be parents before they are ready.

I am honest with my kids and have always told them Mommys belly. They didnt ask how they got there until they were a little older. Than I answered with Daddys help. I only give them a piece of the answer and if they are satisfied dont go any further. My daughter is 8 and my son is 5 and they are still perfectly happy with Mommy and Daddys get married and they decide to have a baby and they make a baby in mommys belly and than Mommy goes to the hospital and has the baby. I feel its better to be honest and have an age approriate answer. Saying hospital is fine, but eventually you will have to go in to the fact it takes two to tango.

You do not lie to children if at all possible so when they ask such questions you try and overcome your silly embarrassment and tell them the truth. They may not fully understand but they will ask again when they get a bit older and they will not be venerable to stories told by other kids and some stupid adults

Yeah..kinda of interesting how parents, mostly mothers have to tackle this one.. Here is another one..it was kinda hard to explain to a four year old the relationships that he was not familiar with. So he was told that his father's brothers are all equal to daddy's for him. It was like daddy 1, daddy 2, and daddy 3. The boy went to school and bragged that he had three daddys. Obviously, the teacher asked his daddy - at that time father's older brother and guardian - to come forward and explain. :)

I think most of mothers and fathers experienced this kind of questions from their kids. I would tell something like this: You come from my worm. Your seed is planted by God there. So, if you want a brother, you need to pray and ask God to plant a seed in my worm again. But because there are many children in this world who wants a baby brother or sister, so the queue is quiet long.

I remembered whenever I asked my parents where I came from or how I entered the world, their reply was either 'you were picked up outside the hospital by us' or 'you came to the World via a stone'. When I heard the first answer, I felt really sad because I was not their child while I felt curious for hearing the second answer because I could not understand how I could manage to come to the World via a stone and they cannot explain it as well and tend to escape from my question. These answers made me annoyed as I do not quite believe them and I understand why they gave such answers, of course.

Of course, i think we all have experienced such things. Because small kids are curious about such things. Because when i went under caesarean birth when i gave birth to my son. So he knows well that he is from my belly. But he only knows that my belly was cut then he was taken from it. So when watching tv about giving birth, he will ask why the doctor cut her belly? Well, that will be an embarrassing situation.

My younger daughter has embarrassed me many times. I try to avoid her questions or give her a vague answer but it does not satisfy her. I have learned to be honest with her. You can tell the truth but still not share the details. When she asked me how she was made I told her mommy and daddy made her. When she wanted to know how I told her we both wanted her so she was made from our love. As she gets older she will want to know more and I will explain a little more. But I have come to find out the more you try to keep from them the more they want to know!

My children were raised with cats, there is nothing like a momma cat giving birth to help even very young children understand where babies come from. There was never any question as to how the kittens got in there until about 6 ot 7 years and by then living on a farm they has seen seed being transfered from daddy animals to momma animals so that it could grow into babys. Of course by age 10 they were able to understand that in people the process was very special and should only happen with a lot of planing. By 13 or 14 all this great education we had so carefully given them went out the door, the hormones kicked in and it was totally out of our control, we relied on constant guard and only allowing them out in well supervised large groups, in well lite places. One black sheep got away from us and any info we had provided on birth control went out the window as did that kid, result one young marriage and grandparents at a very young age. So give it your best shot and good luck to you. It worked for us up to a point and 2 out of 3 kids listened or were just very lucky.

I never have done this but I have tow nephews that have! When my sister had her second child,a boy,her 4 year old son wanted mom and dad to take his brother back to the hospital becuase he wanted a sister! My oldest nephew is 31 now! He doesn't remember it but his family will never let him forget it! The other story has to do with my younger brother. My brother Mike had 2 boys and one daughter. My neice Randi is the youngest in that family and when she came along her brothers were 5 and 3. My 3 year old nephew,Dan, told his parents his sister was broken and wanted them to take her back to the hospital to be fixed! When Randi was a baby she cried alot because she was a fussy baby! At 3 Dan didn't understand that! I just love my family!

I think children should be told the truth about where babies come from,in the language appropriate for their ages. We should never miss an opportunity to educated our children about anything they are interested in. Parents are their children's first teachers. If parents don't teach them, first, what they should know, then they will just learn it from, perhaps, the wrong person and get the wrong information.

Have you ever watched the American comedian Bill COrsby;s show " Kid say the darnest things,". Kids do not just the embarrassing thing, but the mostphilospical question. It never escapes their mind of their own existance and of those around them and don't you ever think is that how religion ever evolved and for that matter any other human knowledge we might want to called it science? It is not culturally correct to tell them how we(father and mother) brought them into the world, but sometimes we need to tell or give some other answers. Yes, it is embarrassing alright, we need to find a way to tell them. I also in my small kid time always insisted to know from which part of the body of mother I was born. I thought I come out of my mother;s belly buttom and would ask her, and because it not that embarrassing, she would say yes.
