Little One has friends with two mums, two dads, a single mum, an adopted family, divorced parents and knows both non binary people and a friendly adult who has transitioned their gender while we knew them.
We've been to drag queen story times, which Little One enjoys, because dressing up and telling stories and singing is Fun.
None of that has been confusing or an issue at all.
You know what this child finds confusing and upsetting?
That there are people with no home, sleeping in the streets. With nothing to eat.
That makes no sense to them. And rightly so, because it has no justification.

Conversation at the family breakfast table:
“What’s the plural of octopus?”
Youngest: “Octopussies. It’s got eight pussies!”

Daily #parenting often is like the exploration phase of an escape room.
Like today: why do we have a springloaded pair of mega-scissors and where did the #littlehandofDoom find them?

New parent classes go on about breastfeeding and growth. All important stuff. But there's one huge parenting thing that they all leave out:
Throwing stuff away.
Children generate and accumulate so much crap. So, so much.
And as parents we're wracked with such guilt throwing any of it away - whether it's a finger drawing from nursery or a crappy Happy Meal toy.
Teach us to throw stuff away and you'll change our lives.
