Oh, don't get me wrong. I was mildly uncomfortable trying to explain things to my child, but I also knew that either I give her the right info or she hears the wrong info from her peers. Admittedly, I had alterior motives for taking the opportunity of her questions. Come October, my children will be meeting my girlfriend. I'm making use of her natural curiousity to begin preparing hre for the future that is different from the one they knew when I was living with their father.

I am sure it is considering the only explaining I've really had to do is in context to proper anatomy terms. I am however keenly interested in how your child handles the adjustment. See my boss is a lesbian and her partner was married some years before they met. The partner brought a young girl into their home when they decided to live together and it was, according to my boss, extremely difficult and not just from a social aspect.

Mu kids are pretty understanding. I've always stressed to them that being "different" is totally acceptable. I'm not what could be considered a conventional paent, not by a longshot. I've got the advantage from being "different" in more than one way, and the kids know that I'm a good person. So I'm hoping this isn't anything too strange for them. I've always been open with them when they inquire. As they get older, I'll tell them more as time goes by and they become a little older and better able to understand.
