Do you let your boys do girly things?

my son loves to paint his nails

My son likes girly shows too... I don't think there's anything wrong with it. They don't see things as girly or boyish. I have heard of dads not wanting their boys to play with kitchen sets or things like that but there are so many men that are chefs and love to cook. I think that would be great since most guys think the cooking should be left to the girls. I would LOVE for my husband to cook more often. Maybe my son would be able to cook for his family when he's older.

If aj wants to play dolls when hes older, why not, preps him for being a daddy.. lol. I see nothing wrong with it.. Girls can do guy things, and why not the opposite. And I have a brother that is 16 and he loves to cook, and hes great at it.. make good money there. Let a kid be who they want to be, ya know?

Yeah, my DH is not too thrilled about it though lol. I would just let him watch what he wants, and playing with kitchen sets teaches them to cook ;)

No, but I wanted to get my DS a kitchen set for xmas and DH didn't like it very much. But he likes dora, and Ni Hao Kai Lan (sp?) and those are girly shows. but he is all boy also. I think it's up to your discretion, and as long as they aren't putting on dresses and whatnot, you are fine!

My 3 yr son LOVES Dora --I bought him a Dora cake for his birthday because that's what he wanted. And he has babies too.Hubby is ok with it as long as he doesn't want to carry it with him.

Personally I think it's fine!!!

i let my son do girly things if he wants to do them. if he is interested in something i don't think i should let his gender limit what he does. i even put some makeup on him if he comes in the bathroom when i'm getting ready he asks for some too and i don't think there is anything wrong with it.

I think it's totally fine to let them watch and play with things that are considered "girly". It will not last forever, believe me! My son used to LOVE the color pink, got a build-a-bear in bright pink and everything. He is 6yrs old now and loves the color green and is too embarrassed to be seen in his cousin's booster seat because it has pink in it, LOL. Letting them do girly stuff will not hurt them so I say go for it!

My son loves play house, dolls, he helps me cook, he loves Aladdin and Cinderella... there so much that he does that's considered "girly."

The thing about it is, kids don't care until an adult makes a big deal about it. I don't see any reason to stop him.

I also have a son who loves Dora. I am kind of torn on the whole movie watching thing only because when I was young I loved all the girly movies like Little Mermaid and the princesses but he's a boy...? My DH never watched the things I watched so I assumed that boys dont watch that stuff. I dunno to each their own. Sorry I cant really answer that question too good but I will say that I dont buy him girly toys at all. I do know men that used to play with barbies and nothings wrong with them. I guess it all depends on what you want

Let them like what they like.  There is nothing wrong with letting them play with girlie things as they will some day be cooking and sewing and who knows what else that girls do.

My oldest two boys put make up on once and loved it.  Took pics of them to show their gf's when they get much older. LOL
