around the house and one time she let him put on makeup. She thinks it is harmless fun but I am afraid it will run him gay. What, other than praying can I do? I am considering reporting her to CPS, but don’t want this shamefulness to be made public. Next thing you know the people in my church will be praying for our ruination!
first of all it sounds like youre one of those horrible mother in laws that all women dread! Letting a boy play dress up isnt going to turn him gay, that is rediculous that anyone would even think that…. especially to consider calling cps for such an idiotic reason. Let the kids Mom and Dad make the decisions regarding THEIR son.
BUT on the otherhand, I see your concern but for different reasons…. I personally would not feel comfortable seeing my own son wearing a dress, I’m not saying I would scold him if he wanted to do it, in fact I’d probably keep an open mind to it or maybe I’d offer him some typical boy dress up costumes but I would not force him to be the stereotypical boy if that’s not who he is inside. but it would weird me out a little to see my boy in a princess dress, and worry me that he will get picked on if he ever wanted to wear dresses out in public.not because I’d think he’s going to be gay, it’s my mother’s instinct wanting to protect him from getting bullied, that’s all. Just being honest.
Leave it alone, she’s respecting her child’s very normal desire to play dress up, you cannot "turn someone gay" it doesn’t happen. If the child is gay then he is already and denying him the need to play and forcing him to wear nothing but jeans and t-shirts and only play with dump trucks and guns isn’t going to change that. Save your calls to CPS for the families that truly need intervention, there are children who wind up being killed by their abusive parents because CPS is busy "investigating" calls like yours— allowing a kid to play dress up in the house isn’t child abuse.
1. cps wouldnt do anything about it 2. people like you need to go to hell who gives a damn if he is gay
my nephew used to love playing dress up its a phase now hes into soccer and sports even girls and hes only 9! get over it besides even if he would turn out gay there is nothing wrong with it!
It will not make him gay.
But since you have such a huge issue with it why not get him some other dress up clothes.

You are just being old fashioned.
seriously?!?! you should be ashamed of yourself. people don’t ‘turn’ gay; they’re either born that way or they aren’t. and just because he likes to wear princess dresses doesn’t mean anything. when i was little, i ran around half naked in a pirate costume all the time. and i’m not ‘gay’. its the 21st Century for crying out loud, so just chill out and butt out. if he likes to wear them, at least he’s happy. would you rather he be miserable? i guess so.
you need ot grow up everything you say is wrong, you comment on my question being rude. lady get a life and stop taking ur sadnees out on others!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, being a " gay " woman let me tell you I never once dressed up as a man. One of my gay male friends never dressed like a girl. That has nothing to do with anything. You can be a cross dresser and be straight. That aside who cares? He’s 5. CPS will do nothing as it is NOT causing him harm. Let me tell you as a daycare teacher almost all the boys dress up in dresses during dress up time and why not? Its something they don’t wear all the time. It’s fun pretending.
Kids like to dress up. You can not "turn" a child gay. They are either gay or they aren’t. One would hope that either way the child would have a supportive family behind them.
CPS would laugh you out of the office for this kind of complaint. They are there to help children that are being abused or neglected not to take calls from people that disagree with something trivial.
Oh please report this to CPS…they will have a good time cracking up laughing but they won’t investigate. It is harmless fun for a child of that age to try on another gender’s clothing and to want to try make up if they watch mommy use it (regardless if the child is a boy or a girl). This is part of normal, healthy development.
And the idea that it will make the boy gay is hysterical…sexuality is genetically predetermined just like hair and eye color. Based on your reaction (on the odd chance this is a real situation) then I hope you’d be more understanding if the child actually does end up being gay.
Again, as a CPS worker myself, I really ask you call the child abuse hotline in your area and make a report. Dealing with all the serious, actual abuse and neglect that happens to children every day is emotionally draining…this will be a nice, funny break for the hotline social workers…they’ll laugh about it before they evaluate it out.
By the way…I just loved that you joined YA today and are asking questions like this one, and why girls are loose today, what to do about finding a pornographic picture on your computer…and my personal favorite…how do you find Google on your computer (LOL). God, I love trolls…so amusing.
you can not call child protection services because she is doing nothing wrong. you shouldnt care if people talk about you. and you cant turn gay you are born gay and if you are gay you are gay there is nothing you can do about it. and even if you could turn gay playing dress up would not make you gay.
