回答女儿一些敏感的问题

I raised my daughter alone in Canada. One day my daughter asked me,"Mom, why don't you have a boyfriend? You will be too lonely". I replied,"listen, young lady. It is none of your business. If I decide to divorce your daddy and I have a new boyfriend, you have to treat him nicely. Right now, I decide to keep a good relationship with your daddy, do not push me to have a boyfriend." After a few months, my daughter told me,"Mom, my daddy did treat me well. Could you stay with him forever. I just want my daddy." I replied,"listen. Your daddy and mommy are always your parents and we love you dearly. Even our relationship ends up with a termination, our love to you won't be a little less than before. Your parents are adults, and you should respect our decisions, no matter what. But if you are a good kid, you will draw your parents closer." My dauther accompanied me in the yearly checkup. She watched and spoke out,"Mommy, how can you let a man touch your body?" I said," my dear, you are right. I should not let a man other than your daddy touch me. But he is a doctor, and he is checking me. See, he is wearing gloves. " Our children do expose to sensitive areas. What I did was trying to rationalize the choices and relative responsibilities. I hope I did good job. By the way, my daughter is five.
