Ok, so I know it is one of those things that certain people will think of…
In a same sex relationship, who is the ‘man’and who is the ‘woman’ for biological reasons, obviously!
No, my kids did not actually raise this topic on that particular issue…
Somehow, they were discussing adoption, and it moved to gay couples adopting.
For a little background info, in our Indian culture, more ore less every family member has a specific name that you call them, so you know exactly how they are related… and if you are interested, I posted about that here.
Rather than the confusion of who is nanny, or granny, or grandma, or nana, or whatever you may call your grandmother, we have names already so you know exactly which grandparent is who, so your father’s father is a Baba, or Dadaji, and father’s mother is Bibi, Bebe, Dadiji or Dadima. Your mother’s father is Nanaji, and your mother’s mother is Nanima, or Naniji.
My kids shortened them a little more, and we have Baba, Dama, Nanu and Nani.
Anyway, rather than work out who is the male or female in the relationship, when it comes to same sex partnerships, Lil Princess was more concerned with how they would know which grandparents get called Baba and Dama, and which Nanu or Nani!
I guess in a roundabout way, it comes down to the same thing, but for now it is a much simpler question, and thinking!
But I Smile Anyway...
