    So tomorrow I am going to my grandparent's house (from my mum's side of the family) and I was wondering if I should come out to th em or should I just let things happen. I'm only going with my mum and only her and my friend know so far because he told me he had a crush on me and I sorta had to tell him, anyway I'm getting off topic, Should I come out to my grandparents or just let things happen?

    How do you feel your grandparents would react? Do you want to tell them or do you feel like you have to?

    If it would help you feel more at ease tell them, and have you asked your mom about doing this with them yet?

    I told my grandmother and she was okay with it. She said she was happy I told her:grin:

    I still haven't told my grandfather. I am really nervous about telling him because he has always been so... I dunno... grandpa-like if you get what I mean

    I am a grandpa and I would be okay with you telling me. But I am not your grandpa.

    Follow your heart and be okay with either choice to tell or to wait longer or even not to tell him.
