[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes my DS wants his nails painted when he sees mine done and I don't mind doing it for him ?[/quote]

To each their own, but I grew up with a little boy like this (was the third boy in a family when they wanted a girl). Perhaps he knew his sexual identity early on, but he's now openly gay as a young adult (they also bought him barbies to play with in the pool). i wouldn't care if my son is gay, but I won't be encouraging it by painting his nails.[/quote]

Yeah I don't think you can "encourage" you kid to be (or not to be) gay. They are who they are. [/quote]

PP here. I agree that kids "are who they are." That being said, I think boundaries should be set. If my son asked to have his nails painted on his own accord several times, I'd oblige (and probably meet with a child psychiatrist to understand his needs). If my son wants his nails painted because mine are, I'd say no. [b]I don't raise my kids to adhere to stereotypes for their sex, but think there's a level of appropriateness that parents should enforce.[/quote][/b]

This sentence makes no sense.

My DS wore nail polish sometimes when he was a preschooler. He liked pink and sparkly things and Barbie dolls. He also liked matchbox cars and Legos and blocks and construction equipment and rough housing. He's 18 now and appears to be heterosexual.

And yes, he was raised with a father in the house, not that that matters. Although his father frequently does dishes and laundry, so perhaps that was problematic?[/quote]
