[quote=Anonymous]If you’re fixated on this, you should talk to the your therapist.  All I can tell you is that I have two boys, both of whom are in elementary school.  They play together constantly.  They bicker a lot.  They are pretty stereotyipically boy, I guess, in that they are both really into sports, the can play rough, and most of their other friends are boys.  However, it’s not like they aren’t complete people.  My first grader and I are just finishing all the Ramona books, which I loved as a kid and read with his big brother and now I’m reading them again.  We cook together.  We bake cookies together.  We do art together.  It’s not like because they’re boys they NEVER EVER do things girls do too.  And at some point they do what they’re interested in and what their friends do.

And the stuff about outfits...that phase will pass soon enough.  A whole lot of girls I see at our school don’t dress like girly girls and they’ll all be picking their own clothes soon enough.

As for later in life, my husband is one of two brothers and we all live within 20 minutes of his parents,  we see them all the time.  My parents live in another state, we’re not close for many reasons and we don’t talk a whole lot. It’s one story but still.  I don’t think it’s that uncommon.[/quote]
