The sex talk


Ok so I have a 9 year old who has been asking questions. I have answered them the best I could at his level but I think based on the question it’s getting around that time.I’m currently pregnant I think this has caused a lot of the questions such as “I know how the baby comes out but how does it get in?” To this I replied “you just go to the doctor” I know that’s horrible but he caught me off guard and I didn’t think with in 2 seconds I had enough time to explain it the way I wanted. But I know this answer is not ok and just said it to buy me some time to think of what and how to actually say. Also I was terrified that because we were using me as the example in that moment and if I told him he would ask me if that’s what happened to me and I couldn’t have answered that all in a few seconds.So I’m wondering what to say or do. I’m thinking of just giving the basic real answer of what sex is and leaving it at that and then answering any questions he might have.The other thing I want to do is wait until school is out because my son is a blabber mouth and I’m 2000% sure he would take this information to school and tell other people which I don’t feel is appropriate and I will explain to him that you can’t just say that stuff and all but I think doing it in summer will give him time to understand and then move on. Instead of getting a call from the school.What do you guys think of this plan? What have you done? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2JFdRXC
