Ten days ago we spent some time with my step mum and today all this odd and worried stuff came out from my DD1 (aged almost 4) about death.
It turns out it has come from my step mum who seems to have told her about the demise of her own mummy and daddy and also the fact that Nelson (yes, you read it right, Nelson the naval commander of the nineteenth century) was shot dead.
Previously when we've been confronted by death (which basically has been in the form of local well known animals (e.g. a horse we fed carrots to)) then we've just said that they've gone on a long holiday because we don't see the point in doing the whole death thing until it presents itself to us properly IYSWIM.
So AIBU that stepmum has been going on about the fact that her mummy and daddy died and that she doesn't see them any more? With no further explanation. Should I have explained about death to her before now?
