Little One has friends with two mums, two dads, a single mum, an adopted family, divorced parents and knows both non binary people and a friendly adult who has transitioned their gender while we knew them.

We've been to drag queen story times, which Little One enjoys, because dressing up and telling stories and singing is Fun.

None of that has been confusing or an issue at all.

You know what this child finds confusing and upsetting?
That there are people with no home, sleeping in the streets. With nothing to eat.
That makes no sense to them. And rightly so, because it has no justification.

This, 100%. If only the Christian Right were actually both truly Christian (they’re not) and right (nope, they’re so wrong).

@pezmico Hell yes. My kid came home in tears after hearing Jack and the Beanstalk in kindergarten- not because the giant was scary, but because Jack and his mother had no money for food.

@pezmico now explain to the little one that we can't have polyamorous marriage because that would be confusing 🤪

@pezmico the kids are alright. I once asked my kids who they thought was brave and my youngest responded, “the unsheltered! They are so brave to sleep outside every night.” 🥹

@pezmico

All of those ideas are taught, you are raising your child to see and accept the diffenences.

Wonderfull!

@pezmico our chaos monkey ( grand kid ) is the same.
The concept of people being unhoused confuses her. Who people are and who they love does not.
