Hi Ladies. I am a mother of 2 beautiful children to 2 different dads. I know there's nothing to be ashamed of & im not. However, I am worried about when my children finally get to school & their peers find out, that the bullying will start. I was bullied as a child but due to different circumstances. Please tell me how I can deal with this? My eldest child starts kindergarten next year.. I am also one of those mums that I find I never seem to fit in. My children's needs/wants always come first & I look like I've just woken up majority of the time. If there is anyone is Western Sydney (Erskine Park area) that is in a similar situation as I am, I would love to hear from you.
Kindest Regards

Honestly, there will be so many kids from so many different family set ups I don't think you have anything to worry about. There will be kids with 2 mums or 2 dads or divorced, no mum or no dad.
How will they find out? Unless you go telling everyone the school aren't going to say anything. This is coming from a chick with 3 siblings and all 4 of us have different dads. No one knew unless we said anything even when two of them had the same surname. People don't believe we're related these days and sometimes it's a blessing :P
I wouldn't worry about it. Heaps of kids come from all sorts of different families it would be seen as normal. My two kids have different dads and neither have been bullied about it and the school kids do know as my oldest daughters dad picks her up from school every second Friday.
Honestly that's not something that is on kids radar.....the true meaning of the word bastard was lost decades ago. Kids don't think about these things
Really not sure if people worry about it so much anymore? I think kids are more interested in other things.
I grew up as 1 of 7 to FOUR different fathers.
Not once was i teased at school. Because i never told anyone!is no one else's business
