What did you tell your kids?
This is hard issue for me it seems. I'm wanting to do a tummy tuck and a BL. Between my boyfriend and I, we have quite a few kids. 8 to be exact. I'm not worried about telling the 3 oldest(all boys living away at college). But I am wondering how to go about telling the other 5.....any suggestions?
12 yrs old - 2 boys
10 yr old girl
6 yr old girl
2 yr old boy
Do i say..."mommy is having a surgery to fix her belly" and not tell about the BL? I don't want my girls to think of any vanity issues. They are already worried about hair and clothing at such a young age due to the media, tv, even Disney Channel....maybe i can leave the part of my saggy boobies out of the equation?? LOL
Suggestions please!!

I told my 9 year old son that my belly was getting in the way of my exercising which was helping make me healthy- we're big on exercising for health now. He got that, but loved my belly- jiggling it and it used to be his, well, security blanket, for lack of better term, when he was younger.
I talked about what it was like for me to carry around an extra ten pounds all the time and how it was tiring. I even showed him what ten pounds felt like (big bag of flour). Surgeon ended up taking off 17 pounds (!)
I did not talk about the breast lift, which has since been cancelled.
Hope this helps just a bit..
I would just tell them u r having surgery to fix your belly after all the weight loss and try to just leave it at that
