I have a 7 year old who is very inquisitive and asks lots of questions!! I have always had a rule that I never lie to my daughter no matter what and if she asks me a question I try to answer her as honestly as I can for instance she knows that babies grow in mum’s tummy and it comes out of her front bum and she know that the mummy and daddy have a magic cuddle to let daddy give the mummy the seed so I have told her the truth but in a more innocent way if you know what I mean. I really dont know what to say to her about me having a BA and uplift. I just dont know what to say and I dont want to lie to her….. any suggestions???
If she asks just tell her u had a quick surgery to make you look better if she asks y then tell her cause its nice to look good some times. She will probly get board with your simple answers and won’t ask any more.
I dunno, she questions everything!! Plus even though I am having cosmetic surgery I dont want to make it sound too normal cos I dont want her to grow up with an attitude that if you dont like something just get surgery!!
My daughter is same, shes six goin on sixteen and when i had my reaug n lift i just told her i was goin into hospital to have my poorly boobs sorted. She accepted that and hasnt questioned it since. That way when she saw my scars and stiches afterwards it made sense to her that i would have them cos thats what happens when someone who is poorly abd has an op! It also avoided any issues of vanity or plastic surgery cos like u i didnt want her to have ideas that this is whats neccessary to look nice xx
Just tell her, simple. my 8 years old was brilliant, fab nurse and couldn’t wait to see the results, It may sound harsh but I think it’s more of an issue if you are having a normal BA because with that you are saying small isn’t good, but you can 100% see the reasons why you would want an uplift. Not that having BA is an issue in the slightest!! xxx
5stonedown I just love your little story about the magic cuddle – how lovely! My 4 yr old has been asking how I made her and her little brother and I’ve told her mummies and daddies can make a baby when they love each other but she wants more!! I will def use your story lol!! I think I have to agree with lozzalooloo on this one – it might be a good idea to say that your poorly boobs are going to be made well again. I think a 7 year old is nowhere near able to understand women’s issues with self-image however mature they might seem. Perhaps you are being kinder telling a white lie?? You can explain when she is old enough to understand fully xxx
Thanks girls thats really helpful!
MAGIC CUDDLE <3!!!!!!!!!! i love that.
he he!!
My girls are 8 and 3. My oldest is so laid back wen I told her she was like yeah ok mam cool woteva haha! In fact shes sik of me going on about it but she said shes gonna help me get better bless her
the youngest obvs doesn’t understand but she does like to play with my rice boobs haha!! X
My daughter has adopted my rice boobs and added them to her toy collection!! 😆
Hey huni I think u shud b honest just say u are goin to have an op because u need to fix something that’s broken or sumfin haha like u need it to make u feel better (which u may do mentally) I no someone who don’t tell her kids any thing had it dun wen they were young which they didn’t notice anyway but then needed a re op wen they was 7 and 12 and didn’t say wat it was 4 and they got worried about her x
R u goin big enuff 4 her 2 notice? Ovawise cud say u r a bit sore etc don’t say wots been dun x
I will roughly be the same size just a better shape as I am having an uplift with small implants so she prob wouldnt notice the size but she would want to know why i was going to hospital, why I cant have a shower, why I cant go to the gym, why I cant play with her and why I have to rest!!!
