Moms of older kids???? How are we explaining “sexuality” to our teens??? Please give some insight...
I wish this was Facebook because I tried to love your comment. And thank you best advice ever. And that’s exactly what I have expressed to my son.....
@momspride36, then you’ve done your job mama! Just keep telling him those things.
He hasn’t said it outright but I know. He isn’t flamboyant but I know... ppl don’t understand they think I’m supposed to turn it off like it can be turned off.... honestly I just want my son to love whomever he chooses and to be happy and loved back.
I don’t think it’s something that needs a deep explanation outside of “you like boys/girls right? You don’t know why you do. You just do. Right? It’s just how our mind and body works. Everyone’s is different”
If my child is having those feelings I want to help and be emotionally available to explain what’s occurring within themselves so they won’t hate themselves because I see him struggling with it
@momspride36, but that conversations doesn’t change based on the sex they are attracted to! I think that’s the main thing.
Honestly I just mostly explain tolerance and acceptance because I don’t know how to explain the “feelings” behind it.
Oh I don’t have a lot of advice on that. It’s a conversation we’ve had since birth and we have several gay and transgendered family members.
Thank you, same here sort of however the family members that I do have we never categorized them it just became oh that’s such n such n never explained their sexual preference.
My 13 year old is gay. So I get it. But the conversation hasn’t been different with him then our kids who are straight. Self respect, guarding your heart and of course safe sex are all the same. No matter who you love!
