Don't know why everyone is saying it's irrelevant. Gay/bi parents face issues that straight parents don't. That's not too difficult to understand is it?

RudolphthePinkNosedReindeer · 05/01/2012 16:42

Cant just post your problems, whatever they are, and people will try to help. Doubtless they will declare what relevant experience they may or may not have.

SarahStratton · 05/01/2012 16:52

Start another thread Cant we're nice to talk to, honestly apart from the oddballs

LadyBeagleEyes · 05/01/2012 16:57

So do you only want to talk to bi mothers Cant?

Cantthinkofafunnynickname · 05/01/2012 16:59

Lady - No - I was asking if there was a thread so that I could speak to others

It must be difficult dating if you're bisexual... are there specialist sites? I've done my fair share of internet dating but haven't come across many bi women or men on them. If you''' pardon the pun Grin

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 05/01/2012 17:12

Did someone mention cheese?

Cantthinkofafunnynickname · 05/01/2012 17:13

it can be

Ive mentioned it to an ex b4 and as u can guess he was well impressed that I was bi. But then reality settled in and he became very possesive thinking I was eyeing up every boy - and girl. So I tend not to say anything but then I feel like I keeping a secret from them!!!

and its not really a topic you can just drop into conversation

Don't know whats hard to understand - she wants a chat with like-minded folk about issues specific to their situation.

Stop being so pious.

Welcome Cant :)

yellowraincoat · 05/01/2012 17:16

Bisexual people do face a lot of problems that straight and gay people don't face, in my experience. I was told I wasn't "properly" bi because I had a boyfriend and when I had a girlfriend, we were always being told our relationship was "hot" and that when we kissed it was "hot".

Pinot · 05/01/2012 17:17

Not sure pious is even a word?

Not sure what word I'm thinking of.

Will fuck off now.

Cantthinkofafunnynickname · 05/01/2012 17:19

Pious is a word Pinot. And you used it in the right context. Grin

Pinot · 05/01/2012 17:29

ooh err still a bit confused. I meant unhelpful and obstructive, I think.

I wasn't meaning you, OP anyway.

Glad to see my reputation as a dence word-slut is spreading Grin

Pagwatch · 05/01/2012 17:29

Why are people being odd?
There are lots of sections where people can talk to others in similar life situations.
If I had turned up saying 'hi are there any mums of dc with sn on here' would I have received snarky 'why, what do you want to ask them' threads? Do you only want to speak to parents of dc with sn?'

Pinot · 05/01/2012 17:31

Oh Paggy thank christ you're here.

I'm getting all entangled in my defence of the OP#s question.

Can't - listen to Paggy. She is me, but without the word-sluttage.

Pinot · 05/01/2012 17:31

and I did a # not a '

Cantthinkofafunnynickname · 05/01/2012 17:32

word sluttage thats a new one

Thanks pinot & Pag
