Kitteh Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I realise that this isn't the usual kind of post for this forum but I can't think of anywhere else to ask this one! My older kids are 11 and 9. They're going to notice that mum's boobs are bigger. We only have one bathroom and while I do my best to stop them from coming in, the toilet is in there so I can't ban them from coming in so they have seen me naked. This morning my youngest wanted me to keep her teddy warm in my dressing gown so I tucked it in the front. My oldest came into the kitchen and said: "Mum what happened to your hooters! Did they get big?" So when I said no it's your sisters teddy I'm looking after he laughed and said "I know you have short hooters". After I stopped laughing from the shock of what he said ("short hooters" ROFL I swear he must have heard the term hooters at school because he didn't get that from us) I started to freak out a little bit because I realise he is going to know that I have "grown" and I don't want him telling everyone that mum's hooters are big now. What did you say if the kids noticed and asked about your BA? I can't explain this one on a baby like I have done in the past! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneymum Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi Kitteh, my kids are 9 and a half, (almost ) 8 & my baby is almost 4. I havn't had a BA, am waiting to have my TT in a few weeks. I have just told them (the older 2) the truth. I have even shown them before and after photo's on the plastic surgeons websites. I also told them its not something to talk about at school, or to strangers etc. and that its a private and personal thing for our family, and they get it. They are understanding, and are looking forward to seeing my flat tummy! If I was having a BA, I would just handle it the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Bahaha short hooters lol! My kids are only young but the older one will definately notice and point them out, he currently likes talking about nipples, which also means boob to him. If he asks I am just going to tell him that the Dr fixed my breasts for me and to keep it a secret. I am hoping he doesn't notice sometime around the days he goes to preschool because I am sure he will tell the teachers there which will be embarrassing!

OneDay Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 haha HOOTERS!!! My kids are 5 and 8 and I told them as little as possible BUT when they saw me in bed with the drains they got worried so the most I said was "The Dr fixed up mummies boobs cause they were abit sore (I know a lie) and he just had to do a tiny operation" I nicely explained cause it was mum's boobs we dont talk about it unless its mummies close family or friends. I was also worried about the whole "MY MUM HAD HER BOOBS DONE"... My kids have noticed the change, my little girl (5) said - your boobs look bigger, I said yeah they do dont they... I wont hide it from them if they ask questions. I was 15 when my mum got hers done and I wanted to go with her... she was straight down the line with me and said that she wasn't happy with her little boobs, and a dr could make them how she wanted them. When I proceeded to tell her I wanted mine done, she was quick to tell me that I was perfect the way I was but if after I had kids and was married if I decided to get mine done that was entirely up to me!!!

Lizdexandivy Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I worried a lot about getting my boobs fixed becasue mine are just like my mum's and I don't want my daughter to feel like she has no choice but surgery if hers end up the same. I have a 7 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. When I weaned my daughter I did because "Mummy's boobies are broken" - put bandaids on them and everything So for now I've just said the doctors going to be fixing them. And they'll be a bit sore and won't look so broken. I haven't said much about keeping it a secret though (at this age, they'd only want to talk about it more!).

sigothr Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Our experience was pretty much the same. (6+8) Didn't want to worry them and wanted them to keep quiet to others too. They have been great so far. We told them a few days before that mum was getting her boobs fixed so she could fit clothes properly. Afterwards they were very caring and well behaved. Shame that didn't last! We told them this was our private business, and no one else should be told. So far, so good :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozzie Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have the four kids my two olders boys are 7 and 10 they understand completely that feeding all of them changed them and I think I have made them numb to boobs really!! Not bothered when I talked about mine and they understand it's mummy's secret to tell only ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjanice Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have an 11 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. I have been surprised at how little they have been phased by the whole change. I told them not to say anything to their friends, and after a bombardment with questions on day 1, they haven't even talked about them since. Although I have noticed the boy staring at them at times....LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettywilma Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Because I have worn super duper padded bras for so long, my kids are used to seeing me with that size haha Even when I told my sister I was getting implants, she said why, you are such a good size already!!

Barely_There Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I haven't told my younger 3 just yet but my older boys know...given that they are nearly 21 and 18 they will surely notice! lol. My younger 3 are all boob fixated and my 7yo girl says I have cow boobs...saggy like utters I assume! (brat!) I will have to tell them the truth (or some variation) and yep no doubt they will share it around, even if I tell them not to! Thankfully I am getting them done in school holidays so the 1st week they will be off school, hoping the newness/excitement will be gone for them the week after when they go back to school. Good luck ladies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevis Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Put it this way: any possible embarassment your son inflicts upon you now will come back at him threefold once he and his friends hit puberty and hey realise your son's mum is a MILF!

Barely_There Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 HAHA! That part is so true! I've already experienced that (my eldest is nearly 21) and one of the guys he knows told him how he thought his mum (me) was hot and that he had dreams about me!! Silly move for the boy. LOL. And way too much information for me. Go Stifflers Mom!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My time Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) I didn't tell my 6 year old and his been totally unaware even though he went to school and told his male teacher that mummy had blood coming out of her in tubes the drains ( teacher did ask me if I was ok ) I politely said yes I'm fine I had blood tests all good e;) eeeeek ....we sat our 11 year old down prior to surgery and told him that after having babies a woman's body goes through changes and her boobs get bigger with milk they shrink ( I lost a baby at 5 months gestation and 3 months after concieved my now 6 year old, then lost 17 kilo's so my boobs have been thought a lot of changes in a very short space of time ) my 11 year old asked if the doctor was going to just pump my boobs up again lol... Since surgery neither of them have mentioned they look bigger and my 11 year old is quiet shy and conservative so his been very careful of when he enters my bathroom. I did tell my 11 year old it was very private and to keep it to himself. Edited September 14, 2012 by My time Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
