Out of the Mouths of Babes
SD6 told bios that she's gay! I am sooooooooooooo over the drama with these people. It's like chaos is their norm. So, of course I had to jump in and initiate damage control for my Bios' sake. Oh, the drama...this is the same SD who introduced the term "humping" to my kids. DH and I are going to have a heart-to-heart about perhaps getting his kidsinto some type of therapy or counseling. There is some bad parenting going on there.

My sentiments exactly! The humping comment was almost a year ago and don't get me started onthe dirty dancing. I can't take anymore. All I know is that I have to protect my bios at all cost, and if DH will heed my advice in the meantime, great, if not, tough.

Ahhh, this blog cracked me up. I'm sorry, I know it is an issue for you gals but your stories just tickled my funny bone. THANKS!

Just curious, do you think an 8 yo can know whether she's gay? I sort of feel like her parents expect dysfunction (not that being gay is dysfunctional, but nothing is ever really normal with SD) from their child, it's like they subconciously expect her to always be "different". They've always said crap like, "She's not a normal kid" and shit like that. Also stuff like, "She's never been a child".
Thoughts?

I think its probably more of what you're saying and her environment. I mean, what would she know from gay or straight, she has nothing to compare it to.
I am so careful about what my kids watch ontelevision, who they spend time with, where they go, the music they listen to, and then to have the skids come in with no training, the vocabulary of salty pirates and the manners of a bunch of pigs disgusts me.

I think you're right. To use the word "gay" to identify yourself at 8...I don't know...I have teenagers and they didn't get interested in the opposite sex until about 12 so I guess a declaration of being gay would be more believable around the tween years.
Btw, I think she said she "wanted to be gay". I don't get it.

Sounds to me as if SD-6 is parroting something she has heard. A 6yo coming out of the closet is repeating something that got someone else some attention.
IMHO of course.

Absolutely, Rags. And this is the kind of regurgitated filth that I deal with almost EOWE. Just done is what I am. DH's and BM's problem. I'll set the tone in my home, but the rest is up to them.

DH always teased SD11 telling her after high school she doens't have to worry about paying to continue her education he will happily provide all finances for her to go to either Nun School or Lesbian School. He did this since the day I met him and she was 6. Adults always found this humor funny, SD would always roll her eyes and give the old "Daaaaad" Last year we had a family friend visiting and when DH cracked the joke I heard SD say to the friend (rolling her eyes) "Ugh, my dad thinks I'm a lesbian. Geesh." She said it so nonchalantly! Dh felt terrible that all these years SD thought DH really thought she was a lesbian! She was not the least bit worried about it though and now she jokes about it. He has slowed down on the nun/lesbian college jokes.
