Hi guys I just wanted to write in and hopefully get a different perspective on a situation that’s going on in my house hold. Me and my wife have 5 kids together. Our 3 oldest are girls and the 2 younger ones are both boys they are 5 and 6. They are only 1 year apart but they are soooo different. Well me and my wife have a hard time agreeing on my 6 year old boy’s choices. What I mean by this is that he really likes to play with girl toys and likes girly things. He sees his older sisters and he naturally he wants to be like them. We went back to school shopping and this will be his 1st year in school. He wanted to get clothing that was girly. I bought him what I wanted and he threw a fit. When we got home my wife got mad at me. She said we should just let him express himself and let him wear what he wants. To me that’s not cool. He’s only 6 years old and I’m his dad! I don’t think it’s right for him to play with dolls, or any of that stuff. Honestly I’m just afraid that if we do let him wear all this girly stuff that he might be bullied at school. I’ve tried to explain this to my wife and we can’t come to an agreement. I just don’t like it! I get it, he’s with his sisters all day long and obviously they are going to rub off on him. But my youngest son isn’t like this. Like what do I do? Am I wrong to want my boy to be a boy? Or am I over reacting? Has anyone experienced this with their own kids? Help!
