In Which I Postulate On Small Children And My Teenage Broodiness

Mar 02, 2011 00:46

During my teenage years, I was confronted with a miriage of friends and acquaintances who all lived by the same strict code - they hated children and they never wanted to have them.

Yay!

The fact that as children grow and are exposed to LGBT folks, it becomes increasingly a thing of "No, not really" in response to the question of "would you care?" is so incredibly important to the eventual achievement of equality.

That's great.

And I'm delighted that your love of children is equalled by your intelligence. :)

I do hope you will get the chance to raise children of your own and make them good humans. I think you could do that job really, really well.
I know for certain that my children are the best thing I gave to this world.Having them and raising them is the best thing I've done (yet..I'm only 51..time to do some other epic things)Now I wait for grandchildren...

You have successfully distracted me from the essay I have yet to start work on.
I'm jealous that you have baby cousins - there is very little chance of babies in my family, as I'm "next in line" so to speak. Unless my niece gets there first! (she's the one in the stable long-term relationship)
I look forward to the day when we meet up to take our children to Doctor Who Land, a theme park I have decided will exist, someday, somehow :P

I have also decided that Doctor Who Land will exist someday, and through the combined powers of our collective thoughts it shall be so!

I am not totally child-friendly. The children I like are children I know, but I'm not good with them. I tend to regard them as unexploded bombs, and have no desire to have any of my own.

When I was living in the big shared house with Squeak, who was 4 when he moved down from South Shields with his mum, his favourite uncle was Uncle Simon, who is gay, and it never bothered Squeak. Kids tend not to notice things like sexuality, but they do notice when you draw your eyebrows on *grin*

Hello! so emh, dropping in here with a specific question, it has nothing(or maybe very little) to do with kids and this is probably going to sound a little crazy, but I thought since you are a very active member of the LGBT community, maybe you could help me with this ( ... )
