in your opinion are the gay people born that way or do they make a choice to be gay?

there needs to be a thread for advice about raising children from those who don't have any

I'm sure it would do well.

What are we talking about here? Are we afraid to tell our kids that some men love men, or are we afraid to tell them in detail the mechanics of homosexual sex?

What I'm talking about is will you tell your child it's ok, don't judge them but you don't do that. Or tell em yea, it's ok to do that and you can try it too if you want to.

If you prefer your child not go that route, I assume effective parenting can be slightly tougher if you believe there's a chance your child was born gay and you don't know if they are yet.

What does fair have to do with it? Why do I have to support the lies of other parents? That doesn't seem fair.

I will tell my kids to keep their damn mouths shut. Personally, I was embarrassed when I found out Santa wasn't real.

So, you tell them the truth, then tell them to keep their mouth shut, so other kids won't find out?? Are you going to punish your child if you get a phone call from another parent asking why you told your kid all of this so young??

No, I won't. I have a little sister who is twelve years younger, I answered whatever questions she had; I am the second oldest of over thirty-five cousins on my dad's side, and I have routinely answered whatever questions they have asked; I have four nieces and nephews, and I have answered plenty of questions for them. It will not change with my children.

A kid is ready for the info when the kid asks; to not answer a question that a child has is to curb their curiosity and their search for knowledge, as well as to lie to them. And, you are going to lie to children or thwart their curiosity because you are afraid of another parent or teacher calling you? Priorities.

"Daddy, where do babies come from??"

Good luck explaining that one to a 3 year old, or even an 8 year old for that matter.

LMAO. So knowing Santa isn't real would've ruined your childhood? My kids will know Santa isn't real, but that doesn't mean I'm pulling them out of little league. I think the liberty we deny our kids these days (for fear of stranger danger, and the like) is much bigger detriment to their childhood experience than the notion of Santa Claus.

Maybe step one would be don't post every single picture of your kid's "accomplishments" on an internet message board.

At what age were you sheltered?

I was raised in a religious household, draw your own conclusions. That being said, I finally got up enough courage to start questioning things and engaging my parents debates. Don't get me wrong I love my mother and I was raised in a great household, I just don't want my future kid to grow up being indoctrinated or shielded from the world. I just believe it is counter-productive.

Much different when dealing with your own children, versus someone you actually aren't trying to raise.

Easy answer: "Their mother's uterus."

"What is a uterus?"

"It is a body-part that women have, so that they can have babies".

What is so hard about that answer?

That was one aspect that you picked out to make it look like the sole reason. You are good at that.

And a kid isn't ready for info because he asks. That's incredibly, incredibly naive.

Don't give me parenting lessons, please.
Yours maybe anti jesus, anti santa, and anti tooth fairy. Yours may know about orgies and cocaine at 4 because you don't want to lie and they are ready for the info. Have at it. You teach yours, and I'll teach mine.

You just going to provide a half-truth with that, after telling everyone in here about how your going to give them answers??

How is that a half-truth? It is completely truthful. Babies come from a uterus. If they ask how the baby got in the uterus, I will tell them that a single sperm fertilized an egg.

ha.

Yes, my 2 sons and their new bjj belts posted in the zone pic area is all they have accomplished. It's a proud moment and something we never thought we'd be in.

If the pics make you aroused, I'll take them down.

you probably have no or little recollection from ages 4-9, so I assume you are angry about being sheltered in your teens. That's a different subject.

No, it just makes me laugh that you would post pictures of your children on an anonymous message board.

I don't know what you guys learned from other kids when you were little, but when I was 7 or so, my friends were filling my head with garbage (mostly older kids). Somebody told me that the first time women have sex, their titties bleed and that's called "popping the cherry". I also thought babies came out of the mother's butt. I don't know why my parents setting me straight would have been a detriment.

No need for me to break the boards rules. Just seemed like you singled that out while I am posting within the rules and obviously don't have anti gay sentiments.

Again I apologize if that comment offended anyone.

Not that it matters but mod if you're mod'n. If you're posting within the conversation, do that but don't mod me cuz you came at me when I'm behaving.

And if you meant nothing by it, my bad.

Back to the topic!

That's just part of having memories, and laughing and cutting up because of it.
