Mum faces backlash from in-laws after telling daughter exactly where babies come from

A mum has faced a backlash from her in-laws after telling her five-year-old daughter where babies come from while shopping for baby shower. The 30-year-old mother took to Reddit to explain that her husband's sister's baby shower was coming up - and was asked the question while shopping for a present with her young daughter.

In a bid to be honest with her daughter, she explained: "When a mommy and daddy are ready to have a baby the baby grows inside the mommy's belly and then the baby comes out of the mommy’s belly like an operation or comes out of the mommy's private parts." The mum claimed this was an appropriate answer for a five-year-old girl and was still accurate enough without all the details.
