I don't put him in anything with words, cartoon characters, pictures of sports or transportation, and very few animals. I figure at some point DS will care about his clothes and voice opinions, but until then, I may as well dress him how I like. My brother is visiting (arrived today, for a long weekend) and can't stop talking about how DS looks stupid, must get beat up daily at preschool, will get beat up when he goes to elementary school, looks like a pansy, a wimp, on and on.
He's not dressed like Little Lord Fauntleroy, or wearing bow ties or anything like that. My brother has very narrow ideas on gender. How can I shut this talk down so I don't have to listen to him for the next four days, and he doesn't give DS a complex? I've already told my brother DS gets compliments on his looks and he suggested they came from losers.

Leave and don’t invite him back. Why on earth do you want to spend time with this person?
He is staying with us for a local family wedding. We didn't just invite him for a random visit.

Having said that yes you can dress your kid how you like, but what do you have against shirts with animals on? Boden has some lovely animal appliqué shirts.
He used that word and another word that starts with an F. He thinks real men don't wear pink, or nail polish, etc. One of those guys.

Then there must be other places he could stay. Perhaps a MAGA loving bachelor uncle? I don’t tolerate slurs in home.

OPs brother is a raging bigot and a-hole, but FFS no one talks like that. The scripts here are the worst.Anonymous wrote:Your brother is a bigot. Tell him to
