[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 32332"] This is one of those instances where sticking your fingers in your ear and chanting, "La la la la la...I can't hear you" won't work....even though that's really what you want to do. I have a daughter at high risk, too, although for different reasons. The really scary part, to me, is that there is no way to prove to her that a baby is not the "fix" she thinks it would be. Another poster mentioned the egg and similar things, which are really good ideas, but I know my difficult child would not make any connection and I don't think kt would either. Besides, my difficult child is special and the normal world issues don't really apply to her...things are always different for her than they are for anyone else. Just ask her. Fortunately for me, my difficult child is extremely modest (my little girl doesn't do anything half way - I'm not even allowed to measure her for a bra so when we went shopping recently we had to take several sizes into the dressing room for her to try on while I stand outside and wait - and that in itself was a feat) and thinks the process involved to get a baby is just the grossest thing ever. I am aware that she will outgrow that, but until then I have my fingers in my ears. [/QUOTE]
