Spouses and Children
Hey ya’ll, first of all thanks for all the amazing info! I know I’m mostly a reader here and very early into my AAS experience but I’m curious how any parents out there deal with their children asking questions? Mine are young - daycare/kindergarten age.
Im open with my wife who has no issues with what I do as long as Im watching my health closely. She’s fairly indifferent and quite frankly bored of hearing it all, ha.
But kids ask questions and they talk a lot. I don’t really want to deal with an awkward conversation with a teacher or parent if one of them slips about my jabbing myself. So far the kids are none-the-wiser but I suspect it’s a matter of time until they hear/see something.
Thoughts? Experiences?
Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, I saw a similar post somewhere. Maybe on this site, maybe not. Either way, you need to be open with your significant other, as they need to know what you are doing. I wouldn't hide the information like that. It will be worse for you later. But keep your children safe from the submarine. Don't let them get close, taking an interest, much less watch it. It's obvious. My friend and his wife, who adopted one child using an agency https://fosterplus.org had a similar experience. They sometimes didn't fully disclose important details to each other, which caused their credibility to fall in the eyes of the child. It caused the boy to become stiff and most likely taken away by social workers.

Within the family, we must share any accurate information. Misunderstandings are unacceptable, especially for children.
