I tried an experiment today and didnt want to mention it (and get slated) until i knew the results.
My ds does ballet (has done since 4 months) and tap. He has been enjoying the new class he is now in but not settled. Well we know why and did something about it.

He wants to be like all the others in the class.

And so he was and loved every minute. It was a fight to change him out of it.

There was comments made by older children but parents pulled them up and even credited us for it.

Not one person batted an eye in iceland or homebase.

My son is a boy through and through but want to be one of the class.

Wore a tutu?

witsender · 25/03/2017 14:22

You put him in a tutu? I wouldn't bat an eyelid, but if he pursues dance they will make him change.

incogKNEEto · 25/03/2017 14:24

Nap Queen maybe op's first language isn't English and they meant 'for four months' - that was the only bit of the op that l could work out tbh!

Bluntness100 · 25/03/2017 14:25

Did you dress him in a tutu and take him round Iceland and Homebase or something?

And s four month old doing ballet is impressive, could you post a video please. I'd like to see that,,,,

nottinghamgal · 25/03/2017 14:30

Is it that he wore the same outfit?

What do you want? A medal?

normanreedusWILLbemyhusband · 25/03/2017 14:31

Teabagtits · 25/03/2017 14:33

Was Matthew born female?

Bluntness100 · 25/03/2017 14:33

Yup, dressed her son as a girl and took him shopping.

variation on a theme.., Hmm

Badhairday1001 · 25/03/2017 14:34

I don't understand what your talking about!

robinia · 25/03/2017 15:15

A lot of non-native speakers mistake 'since' for 'for'.
I'd say he's been doing ballet for four months and wore a tutu. If so yanbu. But, as pp said, at some point in the reasonably distant future, he is likely to be required to wear 'male' dance attire. I'd cross that bridge when/if you come to it.
And well done to the other parents for educating their children.

Mulberry72 · 25/03/2017 15:48

Eh???? Hmm

Pigface1 · 25/03/2017 15:54

I'm confused

MrsGB2225 · 25/03/2017 15:57

ComputerUserNumptyTwit · 25/03/2017 15:59
