Telling Children about upcoming surgery
By Sunny81 on 08 Nov 2012
I have 3 daughters and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to tell them? My husband, mother, and best friend completely support my decision and are behind me 100%. Tricky wording things with young girls and one is a teenager. Also don't want them broadcasting to the world so I need to word it right. I haven't told a bunch of people yet. I am doing this for myself and have wanted this for years but don't want them to think mommy is fixing things or that I have a low self-esteem. I am sure others have gone through this and wondering how they handled it.
Great question. I'm glad you're being thoughtful about this. If you're getting this procedure to improve something that was made worse during pregnancy/breast feeding, you could always call it "reconstructive".
