[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No painted nails. No butterfly backpacks. No long girl hair. Just no.

So glad this has not been an issue for us.[/quote]

I am hoping you're just trolling with this comment.  Why in the world can't a boy have a butterfly backpack?????  I personally don't like the look of long hair on boys but it's just my preference and if my son really wanted long hair I'd try to talk him out of it but ultimately let him do what he wants with his own body.  Same with the nails....not my favorite look but not a hill worth dying on.[/quote]

No high horse. No hills to die on. We haven’t had to deny anyone anything, it just hasn’t been an issue for us. But if it came up, I would just calmly but firmly say no the same I way I didn’t give into the desire for light up sneakers or shorts in winter or sitting in the front seat too young. And now that my kids are older they do a great job of choosing clothing that suits them that is also acceptable to me. [/quote]
