My husband has a big mouth and told our kids someone in our family is g*y..?

Question

Now our kids are constantly asking me who it is and I refuse to tell them since I wasn't suppose to be told in the first place who it is that is g*y. I keep telling them it does not matter because it has nothing to do with our relationship with anyone in the family. My boys are 10 and 12. Help??

Answer 1

well your not going to close Pandora's box, so how do you deal with it . First give your hubby a smack in the head and then deal with it up front. Tell the kids either A) its none of their d**n business or B) fess up to your family member because it will come out and usually its badly. You know the thanksgiving thing from h**l. I will guarantee this family member will be happy to be outed if its in a positive loving way ( I am making an assumption you are of the positive Christian attitude of love your family members) and let him know whats happened. Tell the kids. my brother is g*y and my two daughters know (12 and 8) and its a non issue. If your husband has an issue with this .. tell him he started it and you are finishing it  

Answer 2

Yes, I agree, it wasn't your husband's place to say or "out" someone. I would suggest you directing your kids' inquiries to your husband, since he is the culprit who "spilled the beans" - but not before talking to him and telling him, in no uncertain terms, that he had absolutely no right to do what he did, and that he should handle the kids' questions in a way that respects the person's privacy.

He should be the one facing the "firing squad", not you. Good for you that you recognize the ethical actions involved in this decision of coming out. I hope your kids learn about how to conduct themselves in life from you, and not your husband. (I'm sure he is a good person, but his recent action is not an exemplary one.)

Answer 3

Sounds like one husband is in the dog house.  The idiot should be forced to put up with the questions, but unfortunately the cat is out of the bag.
