Fatherhood Friday – The Birds & The Bees With a 5 Year Old

April 17, 2015 by dadofdivas 2 Comments

Fatherhood-Friday

Last week we had a interesting question from Diva-J, “where do people come from Daddy?” We answered, a bit religiously, “God makes people” She replied, “no..no…no… I mean where do people come from” (she did truly emphasize these points). We were completely floored and had no clue that she would even want to know anything about the birds and the bees.

J-Mom and I just looked at each other and started to back peddle, as we had not thought to have an answer for this question yet for our eldest. So we used a stalling tactic that seems to work well, at least for now. We told her, “let us think about the best answer for this and we will get back to you.” She took this and hasn’t asked again, so I guess we dodged a bullet you may say.

So my question for all of you today is how have you dealt with this and how have you approached this discussion with your own children?

    Our son is six, and has known for at least a couple years now that babies come from ladies' bellies. This question was no surprise, as with a mom who's an active officer in a local mom's group, he sees pregnant bellies all the time. As far as how they get there? He hasn't asked yet.

    Our answer for the boys has always been, God makes the baby and puts it in mommy's tummy. Neither boy has ever gone further than that. The discussion came up on the way home from school on Wednesday. Both boys were begging ( yet again) for a baby sister and why couldn't we give them one. Before I could give my standard answer, Noah told Aaron, "It's not up to Mommy, it's up to God." I guess at some point I will have to discuss the "details" to Noah but since it is really what I believe too, I consider that I'm telling him the truth.
