Two mums and a baby

[Anonymousmamasitaa]

I'm worried that my daughter will be bullied for having two mums. Am I being paranoid?

No

Possibly bullied. Possibly paranoid.

Depends where you live I suppose.

Araiwa so you think she will be bullied?

No you’re not, my son gets called gay due to attitudes of other parents at nursery school, he’s 3!

No you aren't. But bullies will always find a reason to be bullies. I got tortured because my glasses where green. Dick heads will always find a way so you have to make sure you raise a secure and happy child who knows how much she is loved and how little the opinions of others matter. And you can do that.

My nephew has 2mums,he is now a young adult and was bullied a bit as he has red hair.
My sister thought there were going to be issues but they never materialised and both mums were accepted by nurseries,schools,other parents etc.

That's awful Simon.

She may get bullied for having two Mums or she could be the coolest kid in class. She could get bullied for having ginger hair or wearing glasses or having a lisp or having the wrong bag or the wring hairstyle or liking the wring PJ Mask. Or she might not.

All you can do is try to raise her with resilience, a knowledge that she can tell you anything and the security of being loved

I dont think youre paranoid to consider it a possibility

It depends on all sorts I think, probably mostly the attitudes of the parents of other kids at school etc.

Totally depends where you live and what the school is like. There are kids in my children’s school with two mums and no one bats an eyelid - although one of them was bullied last term because he doesn’t play fortnite 🙄
