Im having the same dilemma my little one is 5 and don’t really want her telling the whole class my mummies got new boobies lol.
she has seen myself my mum and my dad all have operations for medical reasons so she understands that mummy will be in pain I haven’t actually told her im having my boobes done – just that im having an operation and that mummy wont be able to pick you up for a while as my chest will hurt and that your going to have to be a big girl and help mummy round the house and be a big girl and do things by yourself, she seems quite keen to do that and have started little things already like hanging her towel over the banister (which is usually left on the floor for me to do) and using the step to get in and out the bath on her own,at the moment she likes the concept of being a big girl and doing things all by herself and helping mum and looking after her. Just hoping it lasts after I have the op 🙂
Im in 2 minds if to tell her what im actually having done or if to keep it as just that mummies having an operation and my chest is going to hurt for a while – may have to explain if she turns round like wow mum your bubbies got big haha.
it is difficult to decide how open you want to be with them and how much they should know and the worry of the whole class finding out xx
