I'm just a few days away from surgery, and although most of my friends and family know about it, I have not told my 9 yr old. He's very much a momma's boy... afraid of the dark, any kind of bug... and of sitting in any one spot for long if he thinks he is by himself. In short, he's a bit of a baby, and I'm afraid he will freak out at the idea of his mom going in the hospital. My birthday was yesterday, and he wanted to bring me breakfast in bed so I had to explain that I was on a strict diet (I got a protein shake and jello for breakfast ) I'm just really torn about telling him details of the surgery because I know it will upset him. I've always taught my kids to be open and honest about everything, so I hate to not follow my own words! My 13 yr old has known since the beginning of the diet, so I feel like I need to tell my youngest too. Because IF something happens... I don't want him upset that I didn't tell him before hand. : Anyone else have trouble making this choice?
