“Honestly, I feel like if you tell them young enough and they grow up knowing the whole situation, then it’s not weird to them,” Jennifer said in the past episode, as Josh chimed in, “Yeah, but it’s tough to explain to a 4-year-old that, ‘He’s your dad, but you can’t call him dad.'”
“We’ll give them the truth [and] say, ‘We used this person’s DNA to create you in a different way than other parents do,'” Chantel added.
