Well ladies i decided to go ahead and goto the brunch with a group of queer parents in my area. The hostess did quickly respond by asking me if i had kids. I laughed out loud and thought well here's a door opening to get some things out in the open.
I told her that i had some
apprehensions about going and that according to the responses from others who even had partners and kids they weren't enthusiastic either. I also suggested that if it was a
prerequisite for attending these functions that it should stated so us child-less types can stay home.
I got there early as usual and met the family and there very energetic kids. One by one all the others arrived and let their kids loose to enjoy the oh so kid
friendly ground floor of the brownstone. The host kids took a quick liking to me why i don't know,but the two girls seem to enjoy my witty charm and bad jokes.
lol I guess that's why one mom asked how long i had been with the family. I said " i don't live here". She said," oh so you're a live out nanny?" I said," Actually
I'm not the nanny and only just met these kids today". She quickly apologized and
I'm sure i could have nail her
to the wall based on her presumption that ran purely along racial lines that i was the hired help. It wasn't a battle i was interested in fighting.
I did however got to meet fellow
bloggers The Commune Child,
The Family O,
Zebah,Zazie and the zoo and their sweet little ones. Overall a good time looked to be had by everyone. The kids had lots of fun and the adults did their best, while icing boo boos, encouraging sharing
lol and cleaning up spills,crumbs and cleaning snotty noses to engage in meaningful adult conversation as well. Now to get those gay boys and their kids to come out of hiding.
