So I’m a single mom to who, in my biased opinion, has the best 6 year old in the world! I do my best to make sure he’s growing up in an inclusive, progressive environment, and yes although he doesn’t have a dad around he’s grown up with strong male influences (my grandfather, uncles, etc. who he sees daily), and strong female influences.

But okay lately I’ve began to notice certain behaviors coming from Leo (my son btw). I don’t mean to be presumptuous and assume, but ya know when ya just know?? He talks about liking his boy friend from school, A LOT. He lets his male toys kiss, and also assumes nearly every man in movies/tv shows will get together romantically. He always wants to try on little bits of my makeup, and he just has these little idiosyncrasies that make you wonder, etc. The thing that got me thinking the most was that last week he asked if he had to marry a girl, and in turn I asked him why and if he wanted to marry a girl, and he said no he didn’t. I decided not to push the convo further.

Let me be clear, I HAVE ZERO PROBLEM WITH MY CHILD BEING GAY AND IM ALSO NOT JUST LABELING HIM AS SUCH!! It’s simply just an observation, and I’m really curious to know if any more of you ladies have had this happen, or if you maybe have any advice on how to handle it ?? Like idk I’m not gay, are there specific things I have to do?? I love him more than everything and anything, and I just want what’s best, I want him to be endlessly happy with who/what he is or will be. So advice/stories/General “hey ya not being a crazy terrible mom” would be lovely, thank you!
