After picking my 5 yr old from daycare, she told me some of her friends were arguing what marriage is better and that man and man can be married, also woman to woman. LO was a bit confused and uncomfortable telling me this. We don’t think this is age appropriate conversation for children to be discussing on the playground. I contacted one of the mom‘s if she heard her son talking about this and she responded with a smiley and a voice message that she recently had a conversation with him about this. She said, her son wanted to marry her and she started explaining it to him. But WHY go into detail? It’s too much information for that age. I told her we at home keep the conversation simple and age appropriate and these are topics our children don’t need to be concerned with.

She also told him no 3 people can be married. To which I replied, actually in some cultures they are allowed to be married to multiple people at the same time, to which she said she didn’t want to go “that deep” !

So now this kid stirred up adult conversation in daycare. What happened to just good old children stuff?? It really has pissed me off. I know everyone parents differently but it’s common sense. It boggles my mind some parents find it taboo to teach their kids the right terms of their body parts yet educate them on “marriage”
