Being able to explain things in life to your child is basic parenting.

even if you can't you can say it, like:

  • I don't know
  • don't worry about it
  • I'll explain when you're a little older

but in reality "how will i explain to my kids" has never been a genuine question. you can say "some people do that" and that is all the explanation needed. no, this is just code for "i don't want to see this myself, and I'm using my children as an excuse".

I've found with my kids "I don't really know, how about we look it up together" is very effective.

it is, and I've even learned some things because of it. I'm just saying if you're really trying to avoid the issue you can just do it, it's not like you're giving a testimony.
