children

[LesbianMummy1]

Just wondering if anybody else has children who would benefit from talking to other children from Gay or Lesbian families. Our dd is 8 and really feeling isolated where we are there are very few gay families and those we know have different age children

can't help I'm afraid, DD is only 18 months and we don't live in the UK - but the gingerbeer forums might have suggestions of groups where you could meet other parents and therefore children.

we have been to one group but it was hour and half drive and very cliquey and other children were all under 5 or a very stroppy teenager who did not want to talk

that's a long way for something disappointing. Maybe set one up? We have one here which is very informal - just tea and cake in someone's house with the kids. Have met a couple of people that way - but most of the couples have way more money than us so I know what you mean. It can be very hard to break into an established group for sure

Why don't you put an ad in the paper/magazine/pub start a group in your area for gay parents and children to meet up.

Speak to local library set up a gay book club. Grown ups in one area kids in the other. Libraries are useually geared up for groups to meet.
