Kids asking why mommy and daddy live separate
My 5 and 7 year old are finally asking the direct question. We kept thinking they'd just accept it as normal but now they want to know why we don't live together. My ex and I split on mostly good terms but I don't know what the right answer is here. Do you keep it simple or try to explain things? I don't want to bad mouth their mom but I also don't want to lie.
We had this talk with ours at almost the same ages. Honestly the best advice I got was to keep it about logistics and love, not reasons or blame. Kids that young don't need all the details.
