To object to dd's friends being described as "boyfriends"

[Familydilemma]

Dd, 6, has friends, boys and girls. Why do adults insist on asking her if she has a boyfriend? She's six!

Just tell the people who talk about 'boyfriends' that they are sexualising her. She is 6 not 16! They'll stop. She just has friends who are boys.

DD1 who is 5 told me she is in love with a boy at school she said he makes her laugh all the time so it must be love
