Quote From: littlebird75 Hi, I have two children a boy 10 and daughter 8.5, my concern is that my son likes things that are for girls. He asked to get both his ears pershed when my daughter got hers done, he asked to get a pink nintendo ds for christmas. He even wants me to paint his nails red and pink, I don't . I told him that pink was a girl color and he said that if blue is for boys so why is ok for his sister to wear blue and not ok for him to wear pink. He is right there is a double standard and it isn't fair sometimes. At first I thought he was just jealous of his sister but it has been going on for years and it seems to be getting worse. Is this normal? I want him to express himself but I also don't want him to be bullied for being girly. I don't think he is gay, he seems interested in girls. What do I do? Should I just keep telling him that these things are not boyish or do I let him be himself?
Let him be!! Relax, my son liked it too, he will get over it or maybe not! and that's o.k. You should let your child be, if he gets teased for being girly, it might toughen him up and make him change or he might just let it be, and that's o.k. too!
And, for me annyway's, being gay should not matter at all!! You should just explaine to him, in a non jugding way, what real life is all about and if he is willing to be who he wants to be, that you, his mother, completly support him!
