1: Coming out to our kids

it's only weird if you make it weird

Episode Notes

Welcome to our very first episode, in which we laugh, we swear, and for once planes don’t fly over our recording studio.

Our topic today is how to talk to your kids and include them in the discussion of Big Adult Topics (like polyamory) naturally and respectfully and without making things awkward and forced. Spoiler alert: just talk to them!

At around the 7 minute mark, Kim mentions a video about talking to your kids about sex. This is the video, Are Your Kids Having Sex? by Dr. Lindsey Doe, host of the sexplanations Youtube channel. She makes a good point: as with other topics, if you’re frank and open with your kids about sex, they’ll trust you and come to you when they need to talk.

We’d love to hear your perspective about talking to your kids about polyamory, non-monogamy, open relationships, and related topics. This is an important discussion to have, and not the last you’ll hear from us on the subject. Don’t be shy! Please reach out if you’d like to participate in follow up segments.

Contact us at [email protected] or through our Facebook page with comments and feedback. If you want to talk to us or if you want us to interview you, please get in touch!
