[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 475191, member: 1233"] Sounds like it wasn't great, but not as bad as it could have been. Though our kids often seem to be far wiser than their age in some matters, we still need to remember a line that my mother attributes to her grandmother, "You don't have to tell ALL you know". Your son is still just 5 and he doesn't really need all the details - even if he wants them. As parents we tend to say a lot more than we need to and explain more to them, hoping to gett hem to see it our way. It can be far simpler to just say the date changed, and let it go at that. Just the way we do when they ask where babies come from - we tell them what they need to know at their age, what they can handle. [/QUOTE]
