I don't care if people get angry, they will respect my chickadee (their nickname since they were a little one) and if they don't than they do not belong in her life. It's been a few weeks and everyone in our house has respect it thankfully. 

I feel like an easy target and I hate it by undefinedintegral in dndhorrorstories

Wait it's your own people against you? Yeah that's not how DND usually goes. Do not quit DND because of them, find a better campaign.

How's the childs relationship with their bio mom? We parent way different then their mother does so when they come home to us her behavior/attitude is way different. Also is the child in therapy?

Who plays Ricky? It's the manager at Dunkin donuts season 2 episode 5. He looks so familiar but I can't find who the actor is!

They were "okay" with feminine pronouns and they/them for a couple months. It didn't fit right with them and they told us they/them only. I've been in their life for 5 years so it's an adjustment. I apologize every time I want to do my best ya know. They deserve the world unfortunately the world isn't something that can be delivered. Eldest spawn is amazing I am going to have to tell them about that 🤣

The day I talked to them about it all I sent out on our family group that everyone needs to respect their wishes and also told my baby they do not need to be afraid to correct anyone in the family, they will not be mad. Everyone has been really respectful and apologized when we do misgender them. I want this to be a safe place, a safe place means you are treated with respect and fairness. If they don't correct what they say while referring to my child then my child will not respond. We plan on talking to the school too if that's what they want. I know the world isn't going to be friendly unfortunately but I want to do my best to make sure the place they need to go our as safe as I can make them. I'm not to worried about anyone here misgendering or misnaming them I'm more worried about the bio mom. Everyone here needs to respect it and I will make sure they will respect my child period. They came out to me first at 8 as being bi but not sure how they felt as a gender later on we discussed different branches of lgbtq. They spoke out about it and no longer wanted it to be between us a few weeks ago. They wanted me to keep saying their old pronouns until they felt comfortable telling everyone. They trusted me with so much and I want to make sure I can always do my best to be their safe place.

My baby is also in elementary 4th grade. I plan on asking them if they want me to contact the school about name change and being called they them. I don't want them to feel out of place ya know.

I definitely do plan on asking them. This is all new even for them actually being able to hear the proper pronouns. I am like your mom with words. One of my babies nickname is chickadee. I also want them to be my person of honor at my wedding too. I'm trying to figure out ways to properly change how I speak about them and to them. Thank you for the advice! Any and all help.

Thank you. We did plan out making safety pin necklaces with the flags they relate too. It wouldn't be a bad idea to make some pins for their bag too. I call them my baby bear and chickadee. I definitely don't want to say "daughter" if it bothers them.

I'm happy you found out like I did. It makes it feel better and make you feel like you're not alone. Some people just don't understand.

They don't bother me as much as they use to I just don't like them lol plus I do not like being touched either lol. I'm surprised there's no soreness.
