Sex & Shenanigans

the past tense and presumably non-royal “we” here is…interesting
The thing is, we were always pretty open about sex & sexuality. I didn't grow up in a home that made it weird, and I wanted that for my kids as well. So we always had age appropriate books about our bodies, how they change, how babies are made, etc.

However, when they're teenagers, and everything makes them cringe, we'd double down any time the opportunity arose and we'd say "when a mommy & daddy love each other very much, they give a special" 😂 I swear the eye rolls registered on seismic sensors across the region

Isn't that fun? We were having a family meeting at a donut shop, my ex, my 18-year old daughter, and I. We were talking about my ex's jobs and I said "you've been a high school teacher, a nurse, and a college professor. If you become a librarian, I know you are just working your way through my fetishes." The kid turned all shades of red. Welcome to the adult table...

Same sister. I think our moms were similar in some ways.

But my daughter is gay and son is likely ace, I sorta dodged the detailed discussions since neither one cared about my areas of limited knowledge anyway.

don't dodge! Aim for the gut, and punch them with awkward facts. "Your mom still puts on that cheer leader uniform for me sometimes" Anythjng to make my kids cringe, we're like Super Twins of awkwardness
