How much to reveal to DD?

My daughter is starting to ask the inevitable questions: Where do babies come from? What happens when people die? Why does mummy have so many 'special friends' to stay over? etc. Obviously, as it's "nearly" Christmas, she's now starting to ask about Santa Claus and if he's real or not. Do you think I should get it over with and tell her the truth before she turns 30?

As she's 29 and three-quarters, do you not think she might have already had a play around under santa's big red pants?!We Made-it-3 on 28/01/11 with birth of our gorgeous DD.0

you dont say how old your dd is
i would go and get a book designed for kids and talk her through different things
you do not need to tell her all in one go as her life will feel like its turned upside down but just one question every so often
on some level kids already know certain things so try saying to her where do you think babies come from, oh what made you think that, what do you know
ask the kid lots of questions and take it from there:A VK :A0 -

The op in the first post said 30
think its a tongue in cheek one hun x Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together0 -

Just some Friday afternoon fun folks. I don't think occasional humour is a waste of anyone's time, at least it helps me to concentrate on my work afterwards - I genuinely expected no-one to take it seriously:rotfl:0 -
