Quote From: mrssandibi agree, why on earth would a mom be pushing something so feminin on a boy? i think the more appropriate question would be does the son like cheerleading? does he want to do it? as long as he is doing the important stuff (schoolwork, chores manners)i think it should be up to the child to decide whether he wants to do it, otherwise resentment will build, and the pressure on that poor boy would not be fair.
My son who was a starting football player is a cheerleader for a competitive cheer team. It's not with POM-POMs and Cheers. He is actually a base, the guy who throws the flyer up (the girl who is tossed in the air) and catches her, actually I have two boys on the team right now, and a daughter, I also have another son who will join when his football season is over. I am not worried about my boys THEY ARE BOYS. Let your children do what they want. As long as it's keeping them off the streets and out of trouble.They need to try new things on their own and see what they like best. This is just my opinion so don't take it personally.
