I'll respond to everyone I can. I'm kind of exhausted. -Sighs.- I have my shit together. I've got a decent job, I'm going to school, and working towards working in the culinary field. The only reason I brought up my religious views was because someone made some rather snide comment about being from Texas, being Christian and/or not supporting/believing in evolution. I don't flaunt my religious beliefs. Most wouldn't even have a clue unless they asked me or it was brought up in a discussion. Now that that's out of the way. ^_^ After eleven years of being with my niece almost every step of the way, I can say that, with complete certainty, that I only know a fraction of what it takes to be a parent. I spent hours reading books, going online and reading articles, etc. I'm not ready to be a parent. I know that I'm not. I've made it this long without having kids for that specific reason. What I do know is that when the time is right, I will love, cherish, and always do right by my child(ren). I also know that I have two amazing parents who will be there at 3am in the morning to call. I will have a support group. Chances are, we might not even have kids. Someone pointed out that it was about my discomfort. That's exactly what it is. I do not feel that my child(ren)'s sexual exploration should be a classroom discussion. I do not have such issues with them talking about homosexuality as I do about discussing oral and anal sex so young in a classroom so openly. That should be a private discussion between child and parent. I will always answer any and all questions. I am comfortable in my sexuality and I want them to be comfortable in theirs. I just don't think someone outside of the home is the right person to help on that journey. I also think that, if these classes become mandatory, I don't want my child to have to suffer discomfort of ignorance in the classroom. If indeed they MUST take these courses, I want to be there to give them all the information before hand. Edit: If I forgot someone, give me shout. Again. Exhausted.
