[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The event sounds fun and like a good option but I also totally get where you are coming from with the pushing ideals onto families/kids in an antagonistic way.

My SIL bought my 3 y/o son makeup and a dress this past Xmas. Shes very into the whole gender bending/ gender exploration thing and I know she doesn’t feel we are progressive enough and inserts her beliefs in this kind of way. Its obnoxious. My toddler won’t be wearing makeup and I’m not going to put him in a dress he didn’t ask for to make a statement. He can and will make his own choices as he grows up and voices/executes his own style. [/quote]

That’s really annoying. My MIL bought my 8 year old DD a cheerleader outfit and talked all about how she’s so tiny the boys could pick her up, and I also found that obnoxious and shut it down.

Generally people should be respectful of parents’ views and how they are raising their kids. I wouldn’t feed meat to a kid being raised vegetarian, for example!

If I were doing NYC I’d do the natural history museum and other kid friendly stuff. Drag story time has never been on my list - I’m not against it, I just don’t see the point at all - but even if it were I could do that at home. Doesn’t seem like the sort of thing you travel to NYC for![/quote]
