[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The excuses you mention are not a big deal. She interrupts you in the morning? Guess what, the bathroom door has a lock on it. You can say that something at work will require you to leave early, end of story. Adult stuff is for adults, do not come up with excuses to burden an 11 yo with all this stuff. She is too young and can't be your support system in this.[/quote] I don't get the impression OP wants to burden her daughter with anything. She has an extremely observant kid. Did you see the part about how she knew her mother was pregnant within weeks because of weight gain? I have to assume those pregnancies did not end well, so I imagine this kid is already feeling burdened by knowledge and that can't really be erased. I think the OP will do what she can to mitigate the burden on her kid, but I think it's unrealistic (in this particular situation) to think she can hide everything.[/quote]
