Jocasta does not talk to Oedipus about their children in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta makes just two references to a family life. She makes the first one when she discusses her first husband King Laius and their infant son whom she says is dead. She makes the second one when she goes inside the palace to kill herself. She speaks of her first born child who becomes her husband and with whom she has children.
