Hi my grandson who is 14 and openly gay asked me if he could go on holiday with his boyfriend who is 16. My grandsons boyfriends parents will also be going on holiday with them.
Should I let him or not ??? I don't know weather to say yes or no

GNHQ - Why aren't the troll hunters posts being deleted from this thread ?

Maybe the lad is posting because he wants to know whether he should ask his Grandmotherfor permission to go away? Perhaps he will repost as himself and maybe we could give him some guidance? Instead of poking fun?
Just a thought...

What a sad state of affairs to be even discussing this when the CHILD is only 14 - !

lemongrove Sun 18-Feb-18 15:35:17

Perhaps we will hear all about it in the Easter hols!

Do you think they went on the holiday after all *Fennel
That was a short trip if so.* shock

Ugg boots - I've just come off a flight from Toulouse and at least half of the younger passengers were wearing Ugg boots.
Seems there's an epidemic of gayness.

Too late for this half-term now

Thinking about it maybe he should go on holiday with someone. He's had a busy time, he deserves a break! I hope someone's made sure his passport is up to date

I just want to know if he had two birthday cakes at the restaurant, one with 13 candles and one with 14 candles.
You know, that restaurant where he wore his Ugg boots and everyone stared at him.

(that doesn't make him 27 does it?)

Good maths BlueBelle, someone is having a "larf"

BlueBelle Sat 17-Feb-18 16:53:41

Apart from the fact The Mum and The Nan are probably both the boy ???

MissAdventure Sat 17-Feb-18 16:46:14

There isn't any suggestion that underage sex will be taking place, and the boys mum, who posted word for word the same thread on mumsnet, without knowing her mum had posted here has said she will be letting him go on the holiday.

Milly Sat 17-Feb-18 16:26:25

I agree with Mapleleaf - whether the weather is dry or whether the weather is wet - spelling doesn't matter it is a much more serious issue here, - underage gay sex?

BlueBelle Sat 17-Feb-18 16:18:32

Poor boy has just aged two years in two months I know kids grow fast these days but at that rate he ll be 26 by year end and he seems to live with a mum and a Nan at the same time good job there’s not an Auntiesnet

No disrespect to Mumsnet posters but GNs are a bit older and sometimes longer and wiser in the tooth.
The OP has posted beforehand, at the beginning of Jan this year,
The post was regarding taking her 12 year old GS and his 18 year old sister to a restaurant, the DGS was wearing a pair of Ugg boots which the OP had bought him for a fiver.
According to the sister the DGS had been stared at because of his Ugg boots?
The crux of the OPs question seemed to be Does wearing Cheap Uggs mark you out as being "Openly gay" at 12 years old?
Interestingly the OPs posts have both appeared during school holidays. This original post was eventually deleted by GN. Make of that what you will.

Jalima1108 Sat 17-Feb-18 14:17:02

Well, a boy might not have to, I suppose
hmm

Jalima1108 Sat 17-Feb-18 14:16:28

Lemongrove - totally inappropriate comment.
Tut tut lemongrove!

Was that the remark about onesies? I've always wondered what happens if you want the loo in the middle of a cold night, you would have to strip right off if you're wearing a onesie (well nearly).

I thought that Elvis was working in the local fish and chip shop!

There was aboy in my daughters primary school who knew he was gay at the end of primary school and the comp. All the girls liked him because he was not the usual irritating
adolescent boy.

MaluCatchul going by previous threads of this sort, I don't actually think the post made by Lemongrove was "totally inappropriate".

May I ask if you are a fairly new poster? Please forgive me if I'm wrong.

Whilst it is always good to take posts at face value, we do sometimes have sort of recurrent themes which raise alarm bells!

OK, so as not to inflate the thing, maybe not an alarm bell ringing, perhaps more of a faint tinkle from an alarm clock whose batteries have almost run out.

The moment I saw the OP I had to resist an overwhelming urge to remind grannyoffour to ensure that the correct footwear was packed; preferably plimsolls, but Ugg boots if they're cheap to buy right now. hmm

The moon is made of cheese, Donald Trump is a perfectly sensible President of the USA, I am a page 3 model, Elvis is alive and well and driving a taxi on Mars.

Jalima1108 Fri 16-Feb-18 20:54:25

Was it his Gran posting at Christmas or his Mum?
He was wearing Ugg boots at the time, or was that his Gran or Mum?

confused now

trisher Fri 16-Feb-18 20:49:36

Hang on then. Who is this boy living with? His gran says he's with her, so why is his mum posting on Mumsnet? Never mind him being gay his family situation needs sorting out first.
