Dd2 is 3.5 and whenever we talk about anything me and DH did in the past, or look at old photos, she asks where she was, and it's really hard to tell her that she just didn't exist. She's been asking about it a lot, and getting all outraged: "It's not fair. We were still your family. Where were we?"
In theory I guess she was kind of in my ovary, so I could say that; you were a tiny egg inside mummy. Am I right there: your eggs are there always, just waiting to be released? (bit shaky on biology).... But she wasn't always in DH because sperm are made fresh all the time (....very shaky grasp on this!)?
Just not existing seems so harsh and hard to comprehend. Does anybody have a clever answer?
