DS wants to be a princess

Nursery are having a 'superheros & princesses' themed dressing up day next week for charity.

DS (3.10) wants to be a princess. AIBU to agree that he can be? Grin.

I think it's rather sweet personally. DH not convinced.

lovely article about boy princesses here

Are you daftpunk in disguise spikeycow, because she comes out with the same type of claptrap too. But I'm glad you've posted because I can comfortably add you to my list of MNers to avoid now.

Kaloki · 01/12/2010 19:16

And all my neighbours would agree with me that it makes sod all difference. What's your point?

I've been attacked since I was young for dressing differently (from about the age of 10 actually), in your opinion should I just have stopped?

we are allowed to have a different opinion to you, and your neighbours, and everyone you know

aren't we?

spikeycow · 01/12/2010 19:19

You don't know anything if you don't know that tomboys are more accepted than feminine boys.
Why don't you get things Confused. Is the sky pink aswell

Kaloki · 01/12/2010 19:19

Was that to me spikey? Because I wasn't a tomboy.

spikeycow · 01/12/2010 19:20

Oh I don't care about people avoiding me FFS. Live in your bubble if you want.

Kaloki · 01/12/2010 19:20

And if it wasn't to me, where's my answer? Don't you love me anymore? Grin

spikeycow · 01/12/2010 19:20

No not you. The one beneath you

spikeycow · 01/12/2010 19:22

People are now saying that tomboys are not more accepted in society than feminine boys. When they are.This is why I can't debate on here. It's a different reality altogether

Kaloki · 01/12/2010 19:22

Ah ok, still.. talk to me spikey!

Asteria · 01/12/2010 19:22

does my DS's love of the flamenco dress and fur bolero count in the absence of a tutu?

I think that it's a real shame that children are so hardened nowadays. Why can't they wear whatever they want WHENEVER they want. And just for the record, DS also wore a superman costume for about 4 months - I had to buy two so we could rotate and wash them. He also has a feather boa that gets used as a scarf sometimes.

I'm not trying to be anything or prove anything by allowing it either

spikeycow · 01/12/2010 19:25

Yes you are obviously allowed a different opinion. But opinion and doing are different things. It seems I'm not allowed a different opinion because I'm now a bisexual homophobe. It's all nonsense

spikeycow · 01/12/2010 19:27

Oh I'm Daftpunk aswell now. Sorry Kaloki I don't have the patience for this it's extremely insane. Sorry Daftpunk but you know what I mean Grin

frgr · 01/12/2010 19:28

And actually frgr who the fuck are you? I've been here 3 years and have never come across you. Do you have friends on here? Do you get PMs? Stick your troll accusations up your arse

Hmm

I'm just someone who's noticed your posts again and again, because they stick out because you're so unreasonable. I barely even look at people's names on here (generally due to people name changing a lot, and I don't really care who someone is - I don't disagree or agree with people, I focus on their post content).

I used to be on MN two years ago but lost my login details - you may remember me by the name of dugg (or possibly duggie/duggies, can't remember which name it was).

I'm also unconvinced that the number of PMs or my post count on here matters in this case. I'm not a troll, and I don't seek out posts in which to appear contentious for the sake of it. Unlike many, many posters on here. And if I do indeed have your number wrong and you're not intentionally trying to stir trouble on a huge number of threads I've seen - well, you really do have some talent.

pantomimecow · 01/12/2010 19:28

I don't know he is nearly 4 and I think some of the others might tease him.

My talent is low tolerance of nonsense. People on here are saying they'd let their child walk on street in a tutu and maybe some would. But I can't believe everyone would. Some don't have an opinion on the thread, they just want to flame someone because they have back up. Typical mumsnet. Not worth my time

thisisyesterday · 01/12/2010 19:33

no, the reason you can't debate on here is because you don't want debate

you aren't interested in the "other side" you want your opinion to be "right" and that's that
you don't seem to be able to respect the fact htat other pepole may think and DO differently than you do

you've already said we're liars, that we're wrong "end of" and have sworn at us

and you wonder why you get narky comments back

spikeycow · 01/12/2010 19:34

The only threads I start trouble on are dog threads, benefits threads and now 10 year old boys in tutus threads. And one circumcision thread.

toomanychristmaslights · 01/12/2010 19:34

one of my friends wore girls clothes including girls uniform to primary school for a couple of years.

A member of my family will always chose a female costume for fancy dress and he loves it.

It does happen Xmas Smile

thisisyesterday · 01/12/2010 19:34

you keep sying that

in fact, your second post was:

spikeycow Wed 01-Dec-10 18:22:50
Because it just obviously isn't. I'm not even going there.

and yet.... you're still here!

Caoimhe · 01/12/2010 19:37

Ds's friend was a fairy in the Y6 play at school and happily walked to and from school in a tutu and fairy wings and a tiara. No-one commented other than to say good on him.

frgr · 01/12/2010 19:37

People on here are saying they'd let their child walk on street in a tutu and maybe some would. But I can't believe everyone would.

Well, then you'll just have to not believe us. But I'll post again the link with photographic evidence that shows you some people don't agree with you:

I'm not sure what else we can do to prove we mean what we say to you!
