[quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with crying in the privacy of your own home? [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]If your son is only crying at home, and not in public, then I don't see the problem.  He's upset.  Tears are a way of both expressing that and managing it.  I always feel better after I cry.

You can try to help him see that crying when his siblings tease him only makes them tease him more, and so he can try not to cry in front of them, as a strategy, but please don't teach him not to cry or that crying is something to be ashamed of.  [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]This. He feels safe at home, and this he's a preteen. Let him get it out. Nothing wrong with crying. [/quote]

SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!

You are ALL WRONG!

You are doing your sons NO FAVORS with this kind of talk!

Teach them that MEN DO NOT CRY. Period. Not even at home. Doing so only earns contempt, not sympathy.

You know very well that if your husband cried in the privacy of your home, you would not say "oh no problem, nothing wrong, no shame in crying." You would despise him.[/quote]

Please let this be a troll.  Although sadly, I am sure it is not.
