I agree with you completely
I do not see any problem with boys playing with dolls or anything girly. They have to go through that all to develop properly. My little 4 year old boy still plays with his sister's dolls and prams and she plays with his cars. They have a little house outside with all their plates and cups and you name it, even irons. We do not make a fuss about it, he'll grow out of it some time or another and we just accepted that it is part of growing up.
Good post!

Symph,
I must have missed this post the first time around, but I totally agree. What's wrong with any childs' self expression? It is who they are and being and as they are forming their personality. Some people are just too friggin' paranoid! No wonder so many kids these days are so screwed up in the head!

Your Right
I let my child kiss (as long as it's ok with the child) and hug other boys and girls when it's time to say good- bye. He does enjoy playing with so called girl toys and my daughter loves to play with boy toys. But I draw the line when he wanted to put on some of my lipstick, lip balm he is allowed. LOL just let kids be kids to define themselves. Good re post.

That's truely sad.
She's not teaching him how not to grow up a wimp...she's teaching him how to grow up with predjudices.
How very, very sad. What can we do, except be happy that our own kids will grow up with confidence with their feelings and in everything they do.

I wonder if this mother ever thought maybe his daddy won't ever hug and kiss the little boy, and that the little boy may be hurt by that. I can't believe the silly things people do to their children. My children were affectionate and I want them to be affectionate always. I bought one of my boys a baby doll once because he loved playing with his little sister's. Didn't make him anything he was not before. He was a fine young man. You stand your ground sweetie.

I couldn't agree with you more!
If people think in that way it is their loss, but unfortunately it will be their child's loss also. I would feel just as angry about it as you, however it is very good to put anger into words rather than action as you have done.

SYMPHONY, this post brings to mind the age-old question, "Which came first, the innate preferences of children in toy selection or society's stereotyping of toys for children?"

Maxine, my clock didn't show up...only the actual text
Of the HTML....I've been meaning to email you back and let you know. Also, the border of the main text was too narrow and the right hand column was too wide.
I like the way you have your clock except for the orange....Bold colors hurt my eyes. If you could change the orange to a simple light gray and email it to me, I would finally have it right!!!

One woman didn't want her son to take home economics which is required in some grades because it might make a sissy out of him.

I am glad you reposted
Our kids can play with whatever their hearts desire. BTW I am 31, male and still kiss my Dad hello. This has definitely not affected my sexual orientation. The opposite is true. I am proud that I am not embarrassed to show this bit of affection to the man I love - my Dad. (Even though he has his flaws, but don't we all)
