It's best to wait until you are ready and really want them.

True were just not ready
We wanted them, badly, but just got them a little earlier than we originally planned.

I have an 18 week old, and a 5 year old. My 5 year old doesn't ask questions about sex, but has asked questions about the human body - specifically now that I'm nursing. She likes to make cracks about my boobies now, and stuff. She knows the proper names for things, but generally sticks to just "hiney" for everything.

No children here. Hubby had a vasectomy. I would let mine know whenever they ask. If not, I'll wait until about 9. Why 9? Well, I had my first period when I was 9 and it scared the hell out of me. If my mom had explained to me why there was sometimes bloody paper in the toilet after she went, maybe I wouldn't have been scared half to death that something was seriously wrong with me. So, yeah... Then would come the period/sex talk.

No kids here. I can't remember how old I was when my mother had a talk with me. I think it was after she found condoms in my room (which they weren't being used for sex anyway). She only told me my father wasn't the first person she slept with. I'm not close to my mother, so I didn't care and didn't want to talk to her about stuff. I already knew all I needed to know so I told her so. I'm only 33, but even then it seems that I learned more outside the home rather than a parent telling me.

Yes. My parents didn't cover everything, but I had a good starting point.

I have a 3 year old and a one year old. We will be honest in a timely manner, but my boys aren't really old enough to understand much about sex, yet.

youngest grandchild just turned 4. We don't live near each other. Been through it with my boys and my grandchildren. Answer questions honestly and short answers. Don't offer anymore than they are asking, you will just confuse them. As they get older, there will be alot more questions.

Never had "The Talk". Never having kids. Though if I did and they had questions I would answer them. Would never confront them about it or make it awkward.
