1st of all Stuarty is bang on, for a kid to be honest with you like that shows good parenting
Few years ago when a warehouse supervisor we had a nice girl start, when doing the induction walkaround and asking if she knew anyone working here she said i probably knew her mum, "its Leanne in the offices upstairs" i stupidly replied "but shes a lesbian ......" what a dick i felt for the rest of the 10 minutes
turns out, her mum and dad had been together for 10 years, married for 7 and then when the daughter was 6 the mother decided she was a lesbian and she couldnt carry on the "show" anymore and that shed been seeing another woman for 6 months i felt so sorry for the dad without even meeting him but most of all for Tess, my comment hurt / offended but im sure we can all imagine just how hurtfull some intentional comments wouldve been at high school, i know for some men the whole 'mrs getting off with another woman' is a fantasy and theyd love it to happen, for me it isnt and i honestly think id have a fooking break down, how you deal with it with kids in the situation is beyond me
