To let my son wear a fairy dress for his birthday party?

[VoldermortIsTopOfMyLaminateLis]

He's 3 soon. We are having a party for his cousins and 5 nursery friends, and all he's talked about for a week is wearing his fairy outfit for the party! Personally, I don't mind what he wears, but MIL is going apeshit! Wwyd?

Let him wear it definitely, he is 3!

My son always loved dressing up as a fairy. In fact it became a family joke so he dressed as one when he went to his girlfriend's 16th birthday party. If your ds wants to dress as a fairy it's not going to turn him gay if that's what your daft m-i-l is worried about

Thank you so much! I'm the OP btw...just corrected my name spelling!

He does make an adorable fairy...curly hair and everything!

He's only 3. Let him wear what he likes and sod your MIL...it's really none of her business, is it?!

It's his party and he gets to call the shots. Hope he has a lovely birthday.

She actually accused me of "giving him gay'...bitch! DH was fuming...so sent a pic of himself in a miniskirt!

Catnip not a troll, honest...regular poster. Just get bored of my nickname often!

Kim not Catnip

Tired, sorry!

Let him wear what he wants.

My DD recently wore a jake costume to a friends party, all the other girls were dressed as princesses. They all had a fab time.

Fingers my DD went to a 'knights and princesses' party as a night!

Don't call other women 'bitch' though, op.

half the posters on mumsnet have boys who were dresses semi permanently
it is the new middle class thing - like girls in wellies/tutus/fairy wings

wear

SOB Sorry. No offence intended. X

Another boys in dresses thread :)

One more name change needed... it's Voldemort.

Oh bollocks! Well its staying like that for the time being! . Trying to report the 'bitch' post, but my phone keeps crashing when I do!

kim

Jesus, why would you bother reporting the 'bitch' post. You'd say it in real life, but on Mumsnet you're panicking.

There you go...changed!

If boys in dresses and girls in wellies is 'the new middle class thing' then I hope the lower orders soon catch up

ps My son is 19 so we must've been trend-setters!
