its not their falt they assume the norm of society.
Exactly. If you don't have the fucking balls to tell them then don't get pissed at them for assuming otherwise. 
i do fucking tell them!!! gods sake.... its just annoying when people make that assumption and i have tried to KINDLY explain to ppl that i dont have both parents and then the conversation turns rather awkward people should just think about it instead of autiomatically assuming |

| Just gently tell them that you don't have two parents. Society is way too diverse to be taking up valuable time playing guessing games about your family situation. When I'm at work and I need to find a kids parents, I don't say, "Where's your mom or dad, or step mom or step dad, or dad and dad or legal guardian" to be all inclusive. |

you cant complain at people for thinking you have both parents. It does take two people to make a child. You should just calmly mention that you only have one, or neither. They arent doing it on purpose to get at you.
what about if u get it 29178345632 times a day??? IT GETS ANNOYING! |
