How to Raise Your Gender Variant Preschooler

That right there, my friends, is piss-poor parenting. I say "no" to my kids at least a dozen times a day, to say nothing of the kids in my wife's daycare.

 

So if the kid wants to start drinking at age 10 will the parents say no then? after all it could just be a phase.

 

When I was a kid, I told everybody that my favorite fruit are blueberries.  Looking back, I have no idea why I said that because I can't standing fucking blueberries.

Thank God my mom didn't make major life decisions for me based on a whimsical decision about favorite fruit.  

I would think that you have to at least wait until the kid reaches his/her teens before allowing a decision like that.

Utterly amazing.

"You know, Miss Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, or drive a car. Hell, you need a license to catch a fish. They'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.:

It applies for mothers as well.

 

"At first, I thought it was cute," she explains. "I don't have a problem putting nail polish on a little boy. I don't have a problem if my son plays with dolls. His older brothers went through a similar period of doll playing and asking for nail polish on their toes. There's no reason to say no to a phase. I never once said 'no.' A phase is a phase."

So baby Nicholas was allowed to wear high heels. To play with Little Mermaid and Barbie dolls. To grow his hair a little longer. But instead of being satisfied with these concessions, Nicholas always asked for more. One day, he asked for something his parents weren't expecting.

Lauren was sitting at her computer working when 2-year-old Nicholas, who, like all the Anderson children, had a frank understanding of anatomy, came to her with a request: "I want the fairy princess to come and make my penis into a vagina," he said.




Lauren mentioned Nicholas' strange demand to his pediatrician at the child's three-year birthday checkup, expecting to be told that the behavior was part of the phase. "She got a concerned look on her face," she says. "This was not the reaction I was looking for."
YA THINK???

What a sad story...can;t imagine what happens when this boy hits puberty. I hope these people get all the counseling they're going to need.

So what happens when the school decides boys cannot wear dresses...is this a violation of his rights? See Graduation, Girls Can't Wear Pants To thread.

 

I apologize in advance but this was the first thing I thought of when I read this thread:

 

I don't doubt it, BR. Kid feels more like a girl at age 5. OK.

But to say he doesn't want a penis at age 2? That's a bit much.

 

I'm with Ace. Did this kid have a father at home?

 

Once when I was in maybe 5th or 6th grade, I was into Hardy Boys books. My father was thoughtful enough to look for one at the store, but he couldn't find one he was sure I hadn't read. He bought me a Nancy Drew book instead.

I cried for hours.

Was that manly of me? Discuss.

 

You cried because your dad didn't bring home a Hardy Boys book, or you cried while reading Nancy Drew?
