Crossdressing dads and dads to be

[RachelOKC]

So much has been said about putting the children and wife first that I want to push back on that a little. My wife and children are extremely important to me, but it's understood within that context that I have my needs too, and a right to a certain amount of "me time." My wife and I also need time for ourselves away from the children, and the children have to learn that there are limits to what they can demand of other people. Otherwise, they'll end up being spoiled brats who think that the rest of the world owes them a living.

So that's just me pointing out that making other family members your top priority shouldn't mean that you live like a slave to their whims. Don't forget what you owe to yourself.

Well said Sophie. If you give everything and leave nothing for yourself then what kind of parent will you be?

GingerLeigh, why is it necessary to quell your desires and / or do it privately if you're not doing something wrong? I just can't buy in to the concept that there is something wrong with one's children having knowledge of the parent's crossdressing.

I understand that some people have much to lose by being out or outed but our culture of silence, secrets, and shame only contributes to that. Teach the children love, openness, respect, and pride and they'll do that in the future. Teach 'em silence, secrets, and shame and they'll probably do that too.
