DD2 goes to nursery with a little boy who has lesbian parents
She asked me why he has 2 Mummys
I said because sometimes 2 ladies love each other very much and want to have a baby too, like a man and a lady do (I am pregnant atm so babies and all things related are high up there on the discussion agenda)
DD1 (6) then piped up with "But he must have a Daddy too, because the Mummy needs the sperm"
Which led to me explaining that sometimes the lady knows who gave her the sperm, and that a Dr or a nurse will help her to get pregnant, but that sometimes she might not know who it was. Was at this point I got a bit stuck... with DD1 wanting to know all the mechanics of how someone else puts the sperm in etc [flustered]
But what concerns me is that I don't know if I've explained it in a way that the little boy himself understands! What if I've contradicted what he's been told by his parents?!
