What to tell your kids ?

Good afternoon ladies ! With just 4 weeks to go I have yet to tell my little munchkins about my op.just not sure what they gonna think of it all ? I have a 12 year old boy who hates talking about anything girly and worried my 8 year old will go and tell his class mates mummy’s getting new boobies and advice would b nice xxx

Could you just say your having an op in your chest and not go into detail? Sorry, haven’t got a clue what to suggest… It’s a difficult age 12 isn’t it? Mine are 2&4 so luckily I can get away with ‘poorly bikinis’ as my 4 yr old refers to them!! X

I’m worried about whether to tell my father in law or not! Mother in law knows but father in law very old fashioned lol x

Well I told my kids I was having my boobies fixed (that way when they said it to people/teachers/friends it wouldnt necessarily mean boob job and people could think what they liked) it was too hard with all the obsessional booby talk going on between myself and friends/partner etc for them not to pick up on it I think both my boys will have told school friends something, but then, if you tell them not to they’re more likely to so you cant win haha….but tbh they havent really paid much attention just said “ouch does it hurt mum” when they saw me all strapped up then went off and done their own thing lol but my boys are only 7 going on 17 and almost 5 xxxx

Yeah I know how u feel I have told my parents and tried to make a joke about it got them when they were in a really good mood and just blurted it out im still not sure my dad knows what’s going on lol I to have to tell my father in law but will leave that one to hubby ! think u just have to try and educate people better to be honest xx

don’t think my 12 year old would mention it again once I tell him its my 8year old as u only need to say the word boobies to him and he thinks its really funny

im 43 and 4days po and i avnt told my dad yet just hopeing he wont notice xx

Oh gosh what size did u getxx won’t u feel funny round him I would get paranoid !!

from a b cup to hopefully a e cup hes 70 now so il just tell him he needs new glasses ahahahah x

oh ok i’m pretty lucky with the fact boobs and bums dont faze my 2…..give it a few yrs and i’m sure that will change lol…. but like Danielle said you can refer to them as your chest

Yeah think I will say need a little op to lift my chest and will b home at teatime as the older one knows about saggy boobs after breast feeding lol with all his aunties feeding their little ones.

I’ve got 4 little ones. The boys are only 16mths old so don’t have to explain but it will be really hard not picking them up. My 2 girls are 7 and 5 and very body aware as we’ve been fairly free at home and walk around naked, well not walk around but I don’t cover up when getting dressed or walking to the shower etc. They are going away with grandparents the weekend of my op so hoping to just get away with not saying anything for as long as possible and no idea what to say if the questions do come.

My kids are 14, 6 & 3 so only told my eldest cos I knew I could trust him not to tell my parents! I shipped my youngest 2 off to my best friends for a few days and just told them not to jump on me cos I had a bad back! My 3 year old noticed my steri strips and said poor mummy you got poorly boobies! Luckily she didn’t tell my folks! X

So glad you asked this as I had my consult on Saturday and booked my surgery date, I then had a dread thought of what to tell my kids. I have a boy of 12 and girl 10 and I feel I have to tell them as there gonna notice. My sister had them while I went for the appt on Saturday and she said my daughter asked her if I was getting my boobs done!! Not sure how she knew this, maybe overheard something. I don’t mind telling them but just don;t want her blabbing to friends and it getting around, and also worried how it may make her view her body etc…

Hi trish this is how I feel about what they with think of me don’t want them to worry of think why is she doing that.whens your op trish and what u having? I’m having 415cc or 385cc full overs !!!

Yeah the dreaded play ground gossip lol think we need to stop worrying and be proud of our new boobies !!!
as most people with proberly guess anyway especially in summer clothes my 8 year old think will be the same cover his ear and if u say don’t tell your friend they’ll tell the whole school teachers and lot !! I am gonna stick to mummy needs a Little op to lift her bust up after having you three monkeys ha ha don’t think I will go into having silicone implants put in me as I don’t think they need to know that xxx

I haven’t decided what to tell my kids yet, my baby girl is 3 and my son is 6, and he’s very into boobs. I think he notices them because I don’t really have any right now. I think being honest is the best thing – people will notice the difference in my chest anyway, whether I tell them or not.

Hi I took the plunge last night and told my 2 boys my 8 year old giggled as it was the BOOB word but was fine.I said going in for a Little op to lift mummy’s boobies up will b back at tea time and we just need to be carful while they heal etc my 12 year old boy didn’t show interest think bit embarrassed as he is a teenager next month just went oh ? I said if you want to ask any questions u can.glad that s done ! don’t think it would be possible to hide can’t believe all the people that don’t tell there family I would be so self conscious I want to be able to get my boobs out and be proud of them !!!
