My son is obsessed with Disney Princesses!

[Anonymous]

I get it, OP. My 5yo LOVES My Little Pony and the color pink. I don't really care, but my DH worries about him getting teased.

My son is older so this topic is moot for me but I think it is totally normal for little boys to like Princess things, esp. if they have an older sister. Likewise, I think it is totally normal for girls to like video games, comic books, non-pink Legos, and sports.

The problem with those underwear is that they only feature the male characters from the movie. My son wanted Elsa and Anna on his underwear, so we got the "girl" underwear. It makes no sense to me that you wouldn't have a variety of characters on both "boy" and "girl" underwear.

Oh, I didn't open them. I was surprised that they sold them though. They should feature Elsa and Anna though. How odd.

My daughter wears boys underwear too. Including boxer briefs. She wanted Ninja Turtle undies. NBD.

He's watching too much tv. My kids (sniff) have never heard of Disney princesses

Does your son sing "let it go, let it go. can't hold back any more." That's what my son sings. They have an audio cd of frozen at preschool and all the kids listen to it.

Agree. He's 4. Let him be a 4 year old.

PP you responded to here. Because I come from a non American culture in which this is seen as not normal. I'm completely aware that liking dolls and the like will not make him gay but I can't be completely comfortable with him playing with dolls, wanting to watch Princess shows, etc and I'm okay with that. Now I'm going to get flamed but I don't care.

You're ok with not being comfortable with him playing with dolls, wanting to watch Princess shows, etc.? Why?

Because you can't always make people change the way they feel?

You realize this means he's probably going to grow up and be a Disney Princess.

The only person who would make the PP change the way the PP feels in this case would be the PP. And the reason for the change would be so that the PP doesn't feel uncomfortable when the PP's son plays with dolls, as the PP's son wants to do.

I'm hoping he outgrows this phase before he starts school next year.

Calm down people, I don't think OP is upset b/c he's a boy and likes princesses, I think she's just upset b/c her first child never went through a princess phase and she thought this one wouldn't either! I would be upset, too, OP, if I had to deal with a princess phase (DC is not old enough yet).

Well, hope springs eternal. Spend your time fostering his independence and not worrying about how he (or you really because that is what this is really about, right?) will be perceived.

True - my 4 year old DD with an older brother wanted to be Lord Voldemort for Halloween... it goes both ways.
