Bi Mommas? Do your kids know? - Page 2

I want to add my two cents to this thread. First principles, shielding your child from overt sexuality is always good, hidng your displays of affection for people you love is probably almost always bad.

I think it's always important for the adults in a relationship regardless of their genders or numbers to privately agree on what 'the need to know' is and what the 'best interests' are as far as kids are concerned. I think sometimes this important step gets flubbed because of the insecurities of the adults.

I dunno. I'm a really openly affectionate person. Lots of hugging and kissing. Me hugging and kissing some one be they my husband or my girl friend is how I show my affection. It's not a matter of "need to know" for my kids, it's a who I am for me. I'm not going to shield my children from who I am.

Well, my Mom is a lesbian (probably bi.. but says lesbian) and we've known about it for a long time. I'm okay with it. I don't see why not.

ships.

This is what I expect to happen with dd. Once she becomes sexually mature, I will share much more of my sexuality with dd.

It hasn't come up.....but if she asked me, I would answer honestly at any age. She has many examples of same-sex relationship in her life, and she doesn't "assume" that marriage or love means man-woman. She, herself, is planning on marrying a women, lol.
