so my 10-year-old sister asked my mum if she ever had a miscarraige..

Umaro

..and i was thinking that mum would say no cos hey, that stuff happens to other people, not us.

but she says yes, i was really surprised cos after all these years i was only finding out now. I'm 18 and i have a 16-year-old sister and mum said she had the miscarraige between the two of us. (I always kinda wondered about that 2 year gap cos we're Irish Roman Catholics and it would make sense to have as many babbies as possible)

then my 10-year-old sister kept asking questions like "what would you have called it?" and stuff until she was told to shut up.

so anyways, earlier today mum called her out to the pantry "something i want to show you - its whats for dinner tomorrow" My sisters are vegan (16) and vegetarian (10) and mum shows her some cut up turkey legs dripping in blood. She goes "eeeewwwwwww!" and trys to run away, and she squeezes past me and shouts:






"I dont want to see your baby!!"



Mum didnt hear. or at least pretended not to.

slipss

sry was that a question? what kinda response did you want from that?

You're sister is a mean little b!tch. I guess she may not fully understand the full extent of what you're mum has been through but come on! You should just explain to her that she shouldn't say stuff like that or punish her if she was trying to be hurtful.

Yeah Kids can be very Ignorant, bless them! When I was younger from what I could gather from my older sisters science book from Secondary School, I though that a girl could get pregnant from Kissing I was around 10 at the time too.

Yeah but those things happen I was 16 and my step-Uncle was dying (I Knew him as a grand-uncle up until two weeks before he died of Cancer), Why parents keep such secrets from Teenagers is beyond me, yet my older sister had known he was our step-uncle since she was 12 and I was totally oblivious to that fact and never really got to bond with him. Next thing he was dead, Parents really should tell their kids these things although not at 10. 13yrs really should be a stage for these family secrets to come out.

My mam also had a miscarraige (between me (19) and my sis (16)) about ten years ago when I was 9. Anyway I found out when I was 15/16! One night I was studying science for the JC and I was reading up on the birds and the bees and the sort. Anyway I asked my mam that it must have been something else having 3 kids (I have anothere sis aged 13) and she turned around and said "it was actually 4". Now I was a bit startled about this and asked what did she mean by this and she said that she miscarried before. I felt akward at the time so I just got up and left the room. To this day I never mentioned it since.....:(

I'm confused. Did she have the miscarriage between you and your sister (16- 19 years ago) or 10 years ago when you were 9?

My mum had 2 miscarriages between myself and my brother.

And OP- a 2 year age gap is not something to be wondering about! Give your mother a chance!

Sorry about that Faith just read my post again and it does seem quite confusing. It happened when I was 9!
