        I'm sorry to break it to you, but there are children who are far more intelligent than adults and have somewhat of a good understanding of life. Talking about having children or sexual education is not something that you should be afraid of talking with your children.

        My 4.5 year old daughter: Daddy when I grow up do I need to have kids? Me: No, you don't have to. Her (looking at her 1.5 year older brother Atlas who is causing a ruckus): Good, I think Atlas is enough.

        It’s helpful when you meet your partner in another country and you’d like to bring them to your country, or indeed to a 3rd country.
