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.
Then your level of comfort is greater than mine. I don't think my kids need to know about my crossdessing. It has always been, and will continue to be a private affair. If you plan on have total freedom to walk thorugh the house enfemme with family around, then I guess they better know about you. I have no such intentions, so it is unneccesary to chirp a word. You can still teach your children about love, respect, acceptance and tolerance. You don't have to be a crossdesser.
