Curiosity......Mom and Mom.....Dad and Dad.....

[wtinal]

I know this may be a dumb question, but I have to ask just out of total curiosity.

When a gay couple has a child, what do they call their parents - mom and mom, dad and dad. It seems like it might get a little confusing. I guess I just think about families when they talk about grandparents. It seems like the family terms each side of the family different. Like, grandpa and papa. Or grandma and mima.

I REALLY want to have a baby. And, this was among the things to think on..........

I know this gay couple and they use the terms like this...the biological father is daddy and the adopted father is papa. It works for them somehow, but they let the children know that no matter what they call their parents they equally love them!!!(*hug*) &:kiss: (&&&)

Im guessing mom and mom dad and dad... or maybe just one by first name and the other dad..daddy or dad? i duno

to be honest I don't see why there cannot be two mum(mom)'s or dad's in a family. I suppose it's going back to hetrosexual tradition that we expect a relationship to be one male and one female. But when two males for example take care of a child there's no need for one to be refered to as the female.

Good thoughts. I was just wondering. We use names to signify who we are talking to, and I guess if I were a kid I might want to make a distinction - but maybe kids don't think that way.

I cant wait to have kids...
I want a little boy =D
Babies are funny xD
I have a nephew who i love so much..
he is in that phase where if u dont give him something he throws a tantrum
and says " stupid bubba/momma/thia..aunt in spanish/pepaw/memaw/uncle/daddy"
or funniest thing " i beat you ass"
when i heard him say this im like "wtf!?" and laughed

I have 8 nephews and nieces, but I don't get to see them because they live far away. I love little kids. The only thing that would be worse to tell my friends than that I am gay, would be to say I am pregnant without a husband. That would be bad. But I really, really want a baby.

Bottom=Mom
Top=Dad
If both are versatile then call them daddy and dad(pappy, poppa), mummy and mum(ma, mammy).

Maybe??
