How do two men have kids? The inquisitor? The 11-year-old niece of a gay couple. The result? A family feud that leaves everyone questioning, who’s in the wrong?

A Family Torn Apart by a Child’s Curiosity: Who’s in the Wrong?
An innocent birthday celebration turns into a battlefield when an 11-year-old’s curiosity about her gay uncle’s love life leads to tears, laughter, and an early exit. The question of how two men ‘love’ each other left the family divided, with the parents insisting the uncles should have answered, while the uncles felt it was inappropriate. Even grandpa couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. But who’s really in the wrong here? Let’s see what the internet has to say…

“God, no! First of all, if you don’t want to talk about your private life with a kid, you do not have to. Second, that is a lot of information for even a mature 11-year-old, and really isn’t something that she should hear from someone other than her own parents at this stage. It’s great that she feels comfortable around you guys, enough to ask questions. It’s also within your right to enforce boundaries and answer appropriately. ‘That’s information for when you’re older. It’s private between the two of us. There are a lot of ways two people can show each other love.’ You are an awesome uncle and NTA.”

Engaging with an inquisitive 11-year-old about sex education

NTA but this was really funny. If she’s old enough to know about it, her mother should teach her, not you lmao. ♂️
