I do the same thing- especially when the kids are asking me questions about their ill brother. <br /><br />Btw, I think it so wonderful that you are discussing things with your kids. Out of love my parents choose to hide my mother's illness for several years. <br /><br />It didn't work- we knew something was wrong but my sisters and I thought the something wrong was us. The weirdness their secrecy caused was much harder to deal with than life, after they finally "came clean".<br /><br />Blessings!Rieshyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480054293869865269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-18029772090322310312010-05-07T08:43:57.487+03:002010-05-07T08:43:57.487+03:00BW -- well, I'm not sure they are "perfec...BW -- well, I'm not sure they are <i>"perfectly normal"</i>, but we like how they're turning out (mostly). :-}<br /><br />Henya -- It is really hard for me!

reminds me of the ...*giggling* at Klara and anon...<br />reminds me of the time my friend's daughter (3-4 at the time) asked how you make a baby. After a whole explanation including mention of IVF since she was an IVF baby, she announced that her babysitter could make a t-shirt. (as if it were pretty much the same thing)<br /><br />yeah, I actually think that they can't deal with the big questions and that they know that there aren't really answers anyway, so they're just trying to figure out how to live today.Leah Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546935038863589318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-90444002764565295542010-05-06T23:42:47.048+03:002010-05-06T23:42:47.048+03:00Klara,
