Today, in a waiting room, my 4-year-old daughter told me she saw two guys kissing. I quietly explained that some men like men, they're gay, and normal like everyone else. I was pleased with myself until the woman across from me scoffed and muttered, "Disgusting." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was eating out with my family. I have 2 brothers. Our waitress comes and says, "Look at those 3 handsome young men." I didn't think of it until my 5-year-old brother shouted, " She's a girl!'" FML
Today, while waiting in the queue at a supermarket checkout, my three-year-old daughter yells out, "Mom! Mom! Is that a man or a lady in front?" Embarrassed, I reply, "Honey, can't you see that it's a... it's a... a..." FML
Today, I was in a public restroom with my 4 year old daughter. I took her in the stall with me, and as I was using the restroom she looked down and loudly asked, "Mommy! Why do you have a beard on your peepee?!!" Then I heard everybody in the stalls next to us laughing. FML
Today, I was at an amusement park with my kids, when a girl in line next to us slipped a hand down her boyfriend's pants and started groping him. I politely asked her to stop, to which she snorted, "Why? Your kids've gotta learn the birds and bees somehow." FML
Today, at work, a little boy shyly told his mom he thought I was cute. I smiled at him as she looked me up and down and said to him, "Eww, honey. No, you do not!" FML
Today, I took my two-year-old daughter swimming. While sitting in the hot tub, my daughter pointed to the elderly man sitting across from us and mumbled something. I couldn't understand her, so I asked her to repeat it. After two more attempts, she shouted, "MOM! He has big boobs!" FML
Today, I had to have a very unfortunate conversation with my young daughter about homophobia and bigotry, after the neighbor said she can’t play with her kids anymore. My daughter mentioned she had two mommies, me and my platonic best fiend who’s her godmother. My poor baby is still inconsolable. FML
Today, while sitting in a crowded waiting room at the doctor's office, my 5-year-old daughter pointed at my 6-year-old son's crotch and boomed, "MOM, WHY DOES ANDY HAVE A FINGER DOWN THERE?" to which he yelled, "IT'S CALLED A COCK!" FML
Today, while at a restaurant, my three year old daughter pointed at an African-American girl and yelled out “She’s ugly because she’s black!” Me and my wife got dirty looks for the entire rest of our meal. We have no idea where she learned that. FML
Today, I found out from her teacher that my daughter in kindergarten gets the little boys in her class to play grown-ups with her. It's basically dry humping and groaning. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

**** that lady. All you can do is teach your children what is right, and you're certainly doing that. Good Job.

Don't pay attention to people like them. You're raising your kid right, unfortunately there is just a bunch of close minded ignorant people out there still.

Ignorance is bliss... Just let it be

Men liking men is normal sweetie. "Disgusting. Is that what you really think ma'am?" Yes, that is what I think. Do you think that? "You wanna know what I think?" Yes "Gay people are..." IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!

I was thinking that OP should cover her daughter's ears, and tell that lady to go **** herself. I can't stand prejudice.

The part that is right is to be tolerant and have good manners. I'm against gay/lesbianism but that doesn't mean they aren't people and they shouldn't be treated any different than anyone else.

Just keep raising your daughter the way you are. You can't do anything about the ignorant *****. All you can do is teach your daughter to not be one.

If the other woman want's to be a bigot so be it. Just explain to your daughter that some people weren't taught manners as a kid. (regarding the other lady). Glad to see you're raising your child to be tolerant of others though. :)

I would have said "and some people are rude... they're.... almost normal"

Just don't worry about it, you're being a good parent :)

Good for you! That is an example of awesome parenting. Everyone should teach their kids to be nonjudgemental and accepting of others. Thank you for teaching her right. :)

Clearly she's an ignorant, rude, self absorbed person. I'm so glad to see some people actually teach their children that love is love, and being attracted to someone of the sex is not something anyone should have to be ashamed of. Good job! Thank you for not being one of those homophobic parents who teach their children to hate!

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
or, right or wrong, other people have opinions. calling them vulgar names is kinda biggot-y as well. I'm not defending this lady or agreeing with her views.I find gay men incredibly sexy, my best friend is gay, and I thoroughly enjoy gay ****. however, I believe people have a right to their opinions, if that's how they choose to live their life, because as with people of alternative lifestyles, it doesn't have any baring on my life. I don't have the time, energy, or simply care enough to hate people.

That's great OP, I wished more parents were so accepting and don't just try to shelter their kids from homosexuality. Ignore that bigot lady, she's probably just jealous because nobody likes her.

The woman across from you is a bitch.

I'm right there with you and don't give a rat's ass what homophobic idiot's think otherwise.
