Little boys and "girl" toys...

Ra

So my son is 6 years old.. he loves and enjoys MANY things. Video games, music, comics, books, super heros... everything every other little boy that age loves! He just recently was allowed to start watching shows on Netflix.. he fell in love with the power puff girls and has now moved on to my little pony... I don't see anything wrong with this, I in fact love it! My hubby is fine with it too.. I recently bought his small my little pony toys (2.99 in the target checkout lane) he has 6 already. Do you find this not okay? I told him that the shirts with my little pony on them are only for girls (because they were only in pink and purple) and he was fine with not getting one. This is more focused on the toys....

Like I said we support whatever he likes, but my sister recently asked why I bought them for him and her husband said "you better hope he grows out of that shit"

It kind of bothers me cause I see nothing wrong here... what do you think?!

My son loves cars, planes, trucks, superheroes, pretty much everything all little boys love. He also loves fairies, princesses, my little pony, baby dolls, etc. I don't believe anything is wrong with it. His favorite colors are blue, red, pink, and purple. He likes to get dirty, but, he also likes to paint his nails like mommy. I dare some ignorant cunt to say something, family or not. I'll whoop your ass so bad, you'll forget how to speak. Nobody fucks with my baby, and I could care less if you like it or not. Don't like people dictate how you raise YOUR child. I don't care when he grows up if he's straight, gay, bisexual, pansexual, or Transgender. My baby is my baby. Buy him my little pony stuff, and tell everyone else to back off.

Colors should not be gender specific. let him get the shirt if he wants.

Yessss. Blue actually used to be considered the feminine color and pink masculine! It shouldn't matter

I would just be careful on limiting colors towards a child. if he wants pink, I would let him decide. let him have an unbiased decision and try not to sway him one way or another. But if he decides pink isn't for him then that's okay too :)

it was more of the colors and glitter and "fit" of the shirt... cuffed looking sleeves. someone did suggest looking online so I will probably be doing that :)

My son is 7 1/2 and LOVE the movie Frozen. This past week, his grandparents were up visiting from Texas, and they gave him his late birthday gift, which was $25. We took him shopping with it and he picked a pack of Pokémon cards, then, as shyly as he could, asked if he could buy a barbie. I was thinking maybe a boy barbie doll, so I said sure. This is what he picked and I didn't hesitate to tell him he most definitely could buy it with his money. I'm not ashamed and he shouldn't be either. He said if his male friends come over, he's going to put not in his sisters room so they don't tease him about it. I hate he feels he has to hide it.

I think it's funny someone voted that you're confusing him. They're obviously the confused one here.

I figured it would be something that someone would comment so I made it an option.. people are always judgmental and I'm sure people will say it's not okay at all either lol

I Think That It Is ABSOLUTELY & 100% Okay For Him To Play With The Toys ... ALTHOUGH , You May Need To Teach Him That There are Mean People In The World Who Say Mean Things & For Him To Not Let It Bother Him ... I Know He's Six But age appropriate Teaching about Closed Minded People Would Be a Good Idea

My seven year old has ALL the 12 in plushies. He also has a tub of the plastic My Little Ponies. And when we bought bedding for his new bed, he picked out My Little Pony bedding.And he is my rough and tumble kid. He likes My Little Pony and he just doesn't care if it's supposed to be for girls. Neither do we.Your son is fine. Let him enjoy the things he likes and support him when idiotic comments are made. Don't ever let anyone make him feel bad or wrong for whatever it is he likes. The problems start when you shame a kid for things like that or teach them it's bad or wrong.You're doing good, mama. 👍

My oldest is 3 she likes her little princess movies currently its Sophia first or something like that(I hate it), but she loves ninja trurtles, batman, hulk, avengers, monster trucks. She has such an obsession we are painting her room next week, with tmnt, hulk, etc on the walls. My SOs mother told us, we should keep it the pink and purple it is now, because she needs to be a girl and we shouldn't encourage her to act like a boy....wtf? Really? Well she can be however she wants I'm not going to dictate what a 3 yrs likes...ugh I hate her.

My 10 year old went through a faze of liking Disney princess stuff when he was 3. I bought him some small toys but didn't buy the bed sheets he wanted. My 18 year old when he was smaller wanted a baby doll. I bought that for him. It's completely normal and doesn't effect them at all. If anything I think it makes them more rounded. Your a good mom for letting him play with what he wants

I good for you!! I know a lot of parents are against this. Just because you let a little boy play with girly things doesn't mean he will be gay or decide he wants to change genders! and even he does who the fuck cares!! A happy child is the only thing that matters!! Some people i swear...😒

Toys aren't gendered. I think it's fantastic that he likes that and that he is not sad or ashamed, because he shouldn't be! Let him play with whatever he wants and wear whatever he wants.
