That sure screwed up the whole birds and bees talk I was given. Today one has to have a bird and bird talk along with a bee and bee talk besides the normal bird and bee talk. Now you have to explain how the bird is really a bee and the bee is really a bird. It was much simpler when bees were bees and birds were birds. However I never did figure out how birds and bees had offspring. Side: Yeah...., me too.

I presume your point is that the children will notice their parents are not like the majority of other parents... which could be said about some aspect of just about any couple, single parent, or poly-parenting situation. Children generally do not have a hard time understanding these differences and explaining them really is not that difficult (I say this as someone who knows people in very comparable circumstances to the above scenario). The only reason children are going to have a hard time with the concept is because they are going to be bombarded with the contradictory messages from ignorant, prejudiced people telling them their type of family is "wrong". Side: Seems legit. Deal with it.

Unless one is related to these folks, I do not see how our lives get more complex just because other people out there can do these things now. Life for them was NEVER simple, but now they have options. Options that are unlikely to have any effect on the rest of us. Also, life may have been simpler, but has humanity ever truly known a simple world? Ignorance of the complexity of the world does not count. Side: Seems legit. Deal with it.
