Lesbian nanny - looking for advice and opinions :)

Hi all!

I hope I'm posting in the right place..?

I'm a nanny to 2 children and I started 2 months ago. On the second interview, the parents asked if I had a boyfriend - not prying at all, just in a casual chit chat way, and I said no because I have a girlfriend instead! So because they specifically asked if I had a boyfriend, not a partner, I felt inclined to say no as I wasn't sure how they'd react!

2 months on, in our casual chat, the topic of boyfriends comes up and it's pretty awkward and when asked about my weekend etc, it's isually been spent with my partner I find myself fluffing an answer etc...

Anyway the dad has made a few comments like "oh you're going to be a rug muncher" "are you going to turn in to a dyke" "I will change your facebook status to im a lesbian and in love with blah blah" anyway you get the gist.

Shall I tell them? If yes how? It rally isn't a big deal for me but I don't know how they'd teact haha. I'm probably making a mountain out of a mole hill!

The dad sounds like an arse and I think a log of his comments would be a really good idea. I'm sure that sort of thing would count as discriminatory and it is also very offensive.

He shouldn't care or even be interested in your sexual orientation; I certainly wouldn't be.

The dad sounds really nasty. I would leave once you have found another job. I would not tell them about your GF either, not their business.
