I read this post and was horrified that someone would have the nerve to complain about having to explain something to his child. I will try to be calm and explain why (good luck to me):
1. If you feel any conversation you have with your child has been 'forced on you' you should not have had children.
2. He seems to feel that a person with a disability is something that shouldn't be talked about.
3. He seems to think his child is only going to meet people like Daddy and explaining the world is a complex place is a bad thing. It also makes me wonder what these super-sheltered kids are going to do when they leave mummy and daddy's orbit and discover that people dress differently, speak other languages, etc.
Grr. I will stop now because none of you want to hear me rant. :)
