To think my son is quite immature?

[ShittyBogStain]

My son is 10.

I have just looked at his msn contact list and all the boys from his class at school have status things such as "Jes is so fit xx" and "Shan and Coz 4evr" etc

DS doesn't seem to have noticed girls at all yet. On the way to school I hear his friends going on about girls and who they fancy etc and DS just stays quiet or tries to change the subject.

In the past few months 2 girls have let on that they 'fancy' him and if anyone mentions it, he gets embarrassed and attacks them (playfully but still).

I'm worried! I know I shouldn't be but I am. I don't want him to be the naive little boy that doesn't get a girlfriend until he's 30!

you're worried that your 10 yr old isn't into girls?????????

what is the world coming to??? i'd be more worried if mine was

that 11yo wasn't the father after all DSM

Ooh, really? I didn't know that.

He still had sex though.

He is only 10 My ds is 14 and has only recently been interested but boy is he into them with a vengeance!

I don't know if this is unreasonable or just plain sad, he is 10 a CHILD.

My eldest DS is almost 13 and he is not the least interested in girls and he speaks and write properly none of this street/text speak... and I am truly thankful for it

Are you a troll or something? He's 10 a child why are you trying to sexualize a child who should be enjoying his childhood. He's got his whole life to be interested in girls! Hate your name too! yabvvvvvvvvvvvvu!

My 10 year old nephew is on my MSN list and at the moment next to his name he's written 'XXX u r so hot and cute, I will love u 4eva' which really makes me cringe!

I think they grow up way too fast these day, be happy he's not like that yet!!

My 10 yo ds hasn't even mentioned girls, and none of his friends have either. They never speak of it and I reckon if his class was talking about 'who fancies who', then he would tell me - as in 'ewww....so and so fancies so and so'. But he hasn't, so I don't reckon any of them are into that yet.

Thank god.

Think I was 11 when it first came to light - the 'fancying'. I went out with a guy in my class. To explain, never went anywhere, never kissed or anything else, but we were still 'an item'. Then he went out with my friend and she said she let him touch her boobs, which now as an adult makes me go

Trip trap

Hmm. I would definitely say 'Leave your little boy alone and let him develop in his own time' but if you are hopelessly neurotic about making your offspring be 'normal'; please bear in mind that children develop into adolescents physically, not just mentally, at different ages. Some of his classmates may be starting puberty at the 10/11 mark, others may not for another couple of years, and it is more likely to be the ones who are physically maturing who are starting to take a bit of an interest in sex.

Wow. My niece is 13 and she isnt interested in boys yet, thank god! My son is 2 and a half, I have all this to "look forward" to. Cant they all just stay young and innocent? lol

YABU - he is only 10!

I cringe when my 12 year old sister chats away about having a boyfriend & what she's going to name her children - kids should be kids for as loooooooooooong as possible 'cause you're an adult for a bloody long time!

Is this an April fool?

I would be delighted. He's far too young for it to be worth worrying about (I'm not trying to belittle your feelings OP, just wanting to reassure you strongly!)

He sounds lovely, and there is lots and lots of time for him to be into girls etc. Enjoy his childhood!

never mind the fact he's not into girls, why is he on MSN ?
Surely at 10, he should be talking to his friends on the football pitch/cubs/whatever club he's into, not stuck in front of a computer!!!
My 9.5 yr old, thankfully is not into, girls, msn, mobile phones or anything like that. Good job, because he wouldn't be allowed it anyway.
Arsenal is his sole topic of conversation and long may it stay that way.

OP are you quite demented?

Blimey.

My DB didn't show an interest in girls until he was 32!

Aren't they just supposed to like Lego and Star Wars at 10?

Trip trap, ignore the troll.

Tbh, I hope that DS (5) isn't into girls when he is 10.

10!! I was expecting to read that he was 18. My DS (7) talks about who fancies him etc, but hasn't really got a clue what he is talking about & I wouldn't expect him to at 10 either.

YABU. He is only 10 and is still a child. He is normal for his age.

Quattro - nowt to do with me, but the OP is definately demented.

I'm not even convinced the other 10 year olds really, truly, fancy girls in the way you're talking about. They're just trying to be cool. It's boasting. Your son is being himself on his MSN - not trying to be what people want him to be.
