My 12 yo knows how to push my buttons, even about birth.
Thing 3 (age 4) was talking to me about birth.
Thing 1 (the 12 year old) pipes in, “You HAVE to go to the hospital to have a baby.”
Me – No, you can have a baby anywhere, at home…
Thing 3 suggests, In the car! he had loved this story.
Me – Yes in the car.
Thing 1, “You HAVE to have a doctor.”
Me – No, you can have a midwife. If we have another baby we are having it at home, upstairs in my bedroom, with a midwife.
Thing 3 – How about down here in the kitchen
Me – OK
Thing 3 – How about on the sofa.
Me – OK
Thing 1 Shakes his head in dismay.
DH ignores the whole conversation and I imagine is secretly praying Please let’s never have another baby.
😀
My great-uncle was born on the kitchen table. How would Thing 1 like that ??
Oh PLEASE have another! Rob would LOVE the HB experience too!
LOL! I love having conversations with my boys about birth 🙂
