[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my spouse prohibited one of my kids from doing something solely due to gender and we let our kids of the other gender engage, I’d be making an 100% equalization policy in my house. If both sexes can’t do it, neither can. And I’d take earrings away from my girls. [/quote]
This. OP, you have a DH problem. Tomorrow he might allow your son to do certain things and girls not. Would you be ok with it? If it was my DS, I would take him to get ears pierced. DH might be hopping mad for a few days but will get over it.[/quote]

I take it that you aren't married...[/quote]
Lol married and have older DS and younger DD. DS doesn't have ears pierced and hasn't asked for it and neither has DD. When he was younger maybe ~4 yo I had his nails painted because he saw mine and wanted to get his done too. DH threw a huge fit! In retrospective I can understand since that is not how he grew up in a very conservative family. Since then he has become more progressive and come around to the notion that boys (and girls) can do things that were once deemed exclusive of a particular gender.[/quote]
