[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow, gotta love DCUM. Within a page of replies I've been insulted in both directions--- for not telling the kids already and for even thinking of telling them at any point. Thx for all the rest who offered up thoughtful replies. Clearly this isn't a cut-and-dry issue. [/quote] Definitely not an easy yes/no, OP! I think I would tell them when you are talking to them about how babies in general are conceived. Hopefully that conversation will include many ways children come to a family (including adoption, ivf, c sections) and you can share their particular birth story. I think it would be cool to know how much they were wanted. I don’t think it needs to be a big reveal, just the details of their beginning. I actually think sex ed is pretty delinquent in not including this information about how a baby can be conceived. [/quote]
