I hate the world “guncle.” It makes me sick to my stomach. Someone called me one today - I have 8 nephews / nieces. I do not want to be called a guncle. Curious if anyone else dislikes this term?

i really like the word but i can’t say it in front of my boyfriend because it makes him feel sick too. my sister made the mistake of calling us “the guncles” in front of him and it didn’t go down well 😂

If it is for blood nieces or nephews then it’s not appropriate. It’s if a close friends child then it doesn’t bother me. Kind of makes me happy, like they think of me as family. Just my opinion.

People are using the term G*ncle now as a blood relative uncle that is also gay… I am not ashamed to be gay or hide it but the word 🤮 just makes me sick for some reason.

I think it bothers me because it’s like labeling your foreign uncle as the “foreign uncle” every time you see him. It can get old quick and sometimes I just want to be seen as the uncle who happens to be gay, not “guncle”. It’s great that there’s an appreciation and inclusion of us in the family but it almost seems like there are subconscious lines drawn as a “guncle”.

Kids are also very impressionable and I want kids to know that while being gay may be a great influence on my life, it isn’t the sole source of my happiness. At the end of the day, I want to be a role model and not a caricature to my siblings’/friends’ kids.

^exactly. 🙌🏼💯

I hate that word and always have. Someone wrote a novel called "The Guncle" and my mom gave it to me as a Christmas gift. I'm endlessly glad to have my family's support and love but I literally never want this term used in reference to me

Does anyone see a shift in the industry wherein less emphasis is placed on billiable hours? I used to work at a firm where the average stint for an associate is 1 year or less. They lost clients as the clients got sick of seeing a new associate on their files every 6 months. The founding partner was near retirement so his goal was to maximize revenue rather than long term career development. I don’t see this as sustainable especially given millennial culture emphasis on work-life balance.

My school deliberately cut the number of classes that the specials teachers teach so that we could be building subs for quarantined and sick teachers (we are hybrid). So... I teach fewer classes (which is a relief because specials teachers teach way more classes than core teachers normally) but I'm pulled for most of my planning periods to babysit classes. I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.
