[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was at a playground today (in NW DC) and our babysitter tells me that a little boy around the age of 3 was there too.  He was wearing a skirt.  My daughter approached his mom and asked her why he was wearing a skirt because boys aren't supposed to wear skirts.  The mom apparently asked my daughter, "well why can't boys wear skirts?  who says they can't?"

So tonight my daughter was full of questions and I wasn't sure how to respond.  We are fairly liberal FWIW.  Should I tell her boys can wear skirts and some choose to?  I'm a bit conflicted on this one.  We are friends with gay couples but none of them cross dress. [/quote]

Just tell your daughter the truth. Some boys were skirts. If she asks why  it's because their moms are attention seeking idiots.[/quote]

Hahahaha perfect response.[/quote]

Yup! When I was teaching, we had a mom who sent her son in with nail polish and a bow in his hair. Sometimes sparkly pumps. She said he wanted to wear it and she believed in allowing expression.  Bullshit. She was an attention seeking drama queen and every teacher and parent in the school saw it.  The things that were said behind her back were pretty awful. The kid did not care about wearing bows in his hair.   And if he did, she could have easily allowed it at home.

That mother would walk into the classroom with the stupid "I dare you to say anything" face. Thankfully, the kid was likable. [/quote]
