Q. My Sisters Parenting: My sister has this idea that she shouldnt confine her son to traditional gender stereotypes. Recently she started dressing him in feminine clothing. He is 4 years old and gets teased at his day care and has expressed many times how much he hates his dresses and pink tutus. She keeps telling him the other children are wrong to tease him and he should be proud of dressing that way. What can I say to her without insulting her parenting skills?
A: Your sisters behavior will not have your son embrace her ideals of gender fluidity, it will make her boy turn against her and forever scar their relationship. My daughter was a decidedly un-princessy little girl. If at 4 years old I had insisted she go to school in a tutu, she would have ripped it off and refused to leave the house. (Even in nursery school she picked her own outfits and one of my favorites was the Tyrannosaurus rex sweatshirt and pearls.) If your nephew insisted on wearing a pink tutu and was teased because of it, that would be an understandably difficult situation, but one that everyone could work on together to make her boy feel happy and secure....

The sister wanted a baby girl, maybe find someone who had a baby girl but wanted a baby boy and do a trade?????
Either that or check the sister into the nut house...
Option 2 is what i would pick...
He will grow up to be like Franklin Rosevelt......?
child abuse
Why would you not want to insult you latent lezbo sister’s lack of parenting skills?
“My sister has this idea that she shouldnt confine her son to traditional gender stereotypes.”
So, as an “enlightened” alternative, she’s going to confine him to being a prop in her war against normal society.
Swell parenting there. I agree with the poster who brought up child abuse. Her actions are clearly making the kid absolutely miserable, and for no good reason than her personal crusade. Children are supposed to be your joy and your responsibility, not agents for your personal agenda!
If this idiot woman continues down this road, the child will almost surely end up having difficulties in relating to people and general self-esteem later in life.
Planted question.
Another dimwitted so-called mother alert.
There obviously aren't any parenting skills and she deserves to be insulted...What's her motive, a closet transgender something or other???
There’s the ebola virus and then there’s the equally deadly liberala virus. When not contained, the liberala virus destroys entire societies. It must be destroyed.
One can almost hear “I’m asking for my ‘sister’, not me, honest” in that question.
No, he'll probably grow up into the type of man whose recreational pastimes include strangling prostitutes with their own undergarments and leaving their bodies in the dumpster behind the alley.
Thanks mom!
Parenting skills?
Really; I wouldn't worry about insulting her or her lack of parenting skills.
I don't know the legalities, but some sort of intervention would seem to be appropriate.
That explains a lot.

LOL! I love that show!
Child abuse, pure and simple.
