Since I wear skirts in front of the kids, I told my mom about 2 weeks ago about my wearing skirts (before she came over for US mother's day). She didn't say much but seem to think it was kilts and kind of changed the subject. During mother's day she mentioned she wanted to talk about the skirt thing but never said anything. She was over this last weekend and asked about it (is it just skirts, mostly, do you want to be like caitlynn jenner, no, is there anything else I need to to know, not really, when did it start, I wore my sister's skirts she left behind when she left for college). She then said that she doesn't understand but whatever. Then she goes into a whole spiel about how I am a role model for my kids and I should be setting a good role model for them. Does she think them knowing is being a good role model. And reiterated how she doesn't understand it. Note that my one of my sons changed into his RuPaul t-shirt about ten minutes prior to this conversation.
One of my biggest fears is not being a good role model for my kids. I hope I did the right thing letting them know. I can be myself at home, people have said they have never seen me happier. I am teaching them tolerance of other people differences. They seem fine with it and hopefully this is something that doesn't tarnish their view of me.
