7yo girl says she wants to marry a girl


So she's been saying this for probably over a year. She knows that girls can marry girls and that you can marry who you love and I've always reinforced that idea. She imagines having two kids (who she says she will adopt) and having a wife.I probed a little and she hasn't shared this with anyone else. When she was talking about weddings with family, she didn't mention the part about wanting to marry a girl. Her friends, she says, talk about marrying boys, but she doesn't tell them she wants to marry a girl. I asked her how she felt about that and she says sometimes she feels left out about that. I asked if her friends know she wants to marry a girl and she says she doesn't need to tell them. She says it's not a big deal.I know people will say it's too early to be concerned about orientation, but I also remember being very much aware of my boy crushes at a young age. I also don't want to be dismissive nor do I want to really overthink because she is still young.I would love to hear from parents who have experience with this. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2G7Fbg5
