I really don’t know who has heard of this little boys story yet, but I am going to talk a bit about it by beginning with my sons who are ages 4 and 2 at this moment. My sons spend a lot of time with their sister. My sons play barbies, my sons are interested in nail polish when “sissy” is putting some on. My sons enjoy wearing my sneakers, sissy’s shoes and dad’s shoes. My boys don’t care if there are things that are “suppose” to be for boys or “suppose” to be for girls, what they see is something that is interesting and they want to explore it.

My four year old loved pink for the longest time, I was seriously getting worried because I want my son to be the typical little boy loving “boy” colors and when he is so young liking pink could lead him in the wrong direction. It wasn’t an issue with Aj, I soon found out it must have been a phase that he happened to like pink because he loves his sister and wanted to like what she liked. Eventually the pink obsession wore off. My other son is two and does similar things, and surely he may grow out of it, but what if your son or daughter never outgrows being “different” at least according to societies view of the “norm” way to be?!

One such boy exists and he is called My Princess Boy. I watched the story of this little boy on Dr Drew the other night and I applaud the parents acceptance of this little boys love of dresses and all things pretty. This little boy is young, yes, but he knows what he likes. This little boy hasn’t lived out in society and seen or learned fear and hate like we have as adults. Sometimes I wish we could all live a couple of days back as a child, before fear and peer pressure was instilled into our brains because then I think adults would have a bit more compassion for each other.

I say this little boy is their child and if they wish to have their child to be happy and it’s not hurting any other person then so be it. It goes back to every parent knows best for their child, who are we to judge or tell them how to raise their child? I live life this way and although I have seen parents do some things that me shudder, I have no place to tell them how to raise their child as long as that child is not being abused or neglected.

So what you do think? I want to know what you really think about this story but please remember to be polite, we all have different opinions but they can be expressed in a polite way.
