I've convinced the Gay Husband to start blogging, so in his honor I'm posting our Random AIM conversation from last night about the raising our love child.

Legally Blonde: i'm sure when we have our love child it'll be good too
Gay Husband: you don't think that will make us feel older?
Legally Blonde: no, because we'll be like keeping up with a little kid...do you know how much energy they have?
Gay Husband: i thought you would be doing all the keeping up, and i would just have to be present so that he/she/zie has a masculine influence
Gay Husband: (i'm hoping she)
Legally Blonde: well, fair enough
Gay Husband: haha, i figured you were going to challenge that
Gay Husband: at least the masculine part
Legally Blonde: well, i was thinking my brother could also be a masculine influence
Legally Blonde: plus, i don't really care if she has a masculine influence
Gay Husband: haha
Gay Husband: honey we have to be careful that our child does not develop with preconcieved notions of gender normity
Legally Blonde: such as? being too femme?
Gay Husband: for one
Legally Blonde: well, that is where my brother can help a bit
Gay Husband: i wouldn't want her to feel she can't participate in sports
Gay Husband: or do other masculine things
Gay Husband: i can't really think of any at the moment
Legally Blonde: i could so teach her how to play softball andbasketball as well as how to golf and ski
Legally Blonde: i would let you handle swimming...since you are better, but i could also teach her that
Gay Husband: honey, i've got swimming
Legally Blonde: haha
Gay Husband: and your brother had better not try to intervene
Legally Blonde: haha
Gay Husband: clearly i am actually trained in it
Legally Blonde: he is not a good swimmer, it's kinda funny to watch him since he's such a good diver
Gay Husband: and clearly i can teach her to cook and sew
Legally Blonde: yeah i can teach her to make "special" brownies
Gay Husband: and your mother can teach her to chug a beer while standing on her head
Legally Blonde: HAHAHA, i'm trying to think of other skills i have
Gay Husband: i can teach her how to work with animals
Legally Blonde: HUNNY! You get all the fun stuff
Legally Blonde: and you don't even want her
Gay Husband: i would def have the better job for when they have those elementary career fairs
Legally Blonde: i'd be like "well handled your parents divorce"
Gay Husband: all the kids always love the veterinarian
Gay Husband: you can explain to her why her mommy and daddy are not married
Gay Husband: or sleep in the same room
