Protected: Toddler bride wants to get married

w.jpg

Of late, Tee has been asking about babies, where they come from, getting married, weddings etc – this is because there are people around us who are pregnant, who just delivered, who are about to get married etc. She picks up on our adult conversations and then asks tons of questions that many times I find difficulty in answering. So I just tell her the truth.

She understands the concept of getting married (that it must happen between a boy and a girl – no, we haven’t reached gay marriages yet), she knows what a wedding is (a party to celebrate when the bride and groom gets married), she knows why a couple gets married (when they love each other very much and want to make a baby although she thinks that by marrying, you automatically get a baby), she knows how a baby grows inside a Mother’s tummy and she knows how the baby comes out (through watching Discovery Health).

I was actually condemned for allowing her this knowledge. Some mothers told me that they find it creepy that I allow my daughter to watch Discovery Health (errr…..I watched and she watched with me, I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to expose her to such things at such a young age, anyone???). So it leaves me something to think about tonight. I am always learning……as a first time Mom.

Because lately, she has been so obsessed about this whole birds and the bees thing that she wanted to be a bride the other day and I allowed her to play with my wedding veil. She is a vain little princess, she had loads of vain moments in front of the mirror. And she says she wants to marry her Daddy.

To me, it’s all fun and innocence. Yet for some reason, some people think I am warped and twisted.

Well, what am I supposed to tell her? That the stork brought her in one day?

  1. I let my 2 gals watch Discovery Health and Babies’ Stories too and they LOVE these documentaries. Alycia knows that only married man & woman can hv babies and she knows how she & her sis came along. She also knows that when I have to put on a sanitary pad, that means mummy is having her period and she knows that she too will get it later.
    Whenever she sees me naked now, she likes to ask me what’s inside my tummy esp. when my tummy is inflated by a heavy meal. SHe thinks there’s a bb inside and she hates the idea of mummy having another bb.
    Oohh… Tee looks so pretty in that veil.

  2. Shireen,
    Thank you for the validation. At least now I know that I’m not the only Mother on Earth who is letting a two year old watch Discovery Health. However, Tee WANTS me to be pregnant! I think she is lonely……she keeps saying she wants a baby brother. But lately, she even says she wants a baby brother AND a baby sister!!! And this Discovery Health is making me think that I can handle another one now. Aiyo…*smack head*
