[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team “okay dear” to her saying she wants to be a boy.

But also, if she consistently wants short hair and “boy” clothes let her have them.  (If like my 3yo she waffles between wanting short hair like her brother and wailing at the sight of the hair scissors, leave well enough alone however.)[/quote]

Disagree with this. Why should a 3 YO call the shots on what she wears? This is where parental guidance is needed. [/quote]

Um, because if they’re clean-ish, fit well enough, and are more or less seasonally appropriate who cares what a 3 year old wears? Other than the 3 year old, of course. [/quote]

Who needs parental guidance. 3 YOs want all sorts of things. It is, supposedly, up to their parents to teach them. [/quote]

Eh, most of the time I could care less what me kids wear so long as it is seasonally appropriate and clean- I remove items that aren't an option for the winter, like shorts, or things that have become too ratty from their drawers.  My DD is 5 and prefers the hand-me-downs from her older brother than the girly stuff my mom always buys her.  If she wants to wear the dinosaur shirt rather than the Elsa dress, who cares?  I have no energy to micromanage my kids like that.

My one exception is that they have to wear something a bit nicer for chuch, but a tunic w/ leggings is sufficient.[/quote]
