Everyone loves you lil and we're all here for you
Good. As much as I don't like people sometimes, I'm gonna need all of you this week. I mean of course I have God but we were never meant to fight these things alone. God knows that.
In India not many parents give "the talk". No, not even for girls. Kids are expected to figure things for themselves.
It's like giving a kid a tub of LEGO but with no instructions or illustrated examples.

Also, grief makes you think and feel crazy things. Like...wow. Yikes. Eek. I'm going to try and do stuff this week and be with people.
The good thing is I'll be seeing a movie on Thursday (the anniversary) and we'll be going out to eat afterward. So that's a thing. But for those who have my number, feel free to bug me this week and ask me how I'm doing. I give you permission. If I don't answer, try not to be too concerned, I'm not the greatest at answering. But I will try to be good at answering back this week. I don't want anyone to freak out over me.

This birds and bees talk could make an interesting thread...? Or a very troubled one?
My parents never gave me the talk, all my mum said was, "If you come home pregnant one day, we're kicking you out".
Unfortunately, I learnt about the birds and the bees from what teenage boys said, and these teenage boys got their information from hours of porn. I started off with a very messed up view of the birds and the bees, and about my identity as a girl becoming a woman.
If only my parents told me.

Birds and the bees, huh? I don't think I ever got it either, but I was the one to give it to my younger sisters because I knew my parents wouldn't. Soooo wish they had. In the culture I grew up in, sex is a very taboo subject, but I don't think it should be. Obviously God created it and it's a wonderful thing within the right context. Without that context or the proper knowledge though, one's role in sexual intimacy can be vastly misunderstood. 
no good. Talk to your kids about sex, people! I don't care how uncomfortable it makes you. Suck it up. You're the grown up. Don't live in fear.

This thread is catching up to us awfully fast in terms of post count─2.5 months and already over 1,000 pages!
To me that makes the most sense, and was more my own parents' style. A four-year-old shouldn't be lied to, yet also doesn't need as much info as a twelve-year-old, who doesn't need as many details as a 16-year-old.I never had The Talk either , but I must have learned of it somehow, maybe there were many minor talks? I don't remember really
To make things really easy, work on a farm for a few months as a family =D!
... You can explain the differences to them as needed ...
