I remember when DS was 3 and started nursery he had no male friends but plenty of female friends. I thought it would change as he got older.
Then as a 5/6/7 year old, he continued making friends with girls and becomming more isolated from the boys. He doesn't like football, rugby ... or any sport really. No interest in cars or anything like that. BUT ... he'd quite happily play "imaginary" games with the girls for hours.
I used to worry but not so much now.
Thing is, he's now 11. He's sensible, quiet, hardworking ... bit of a teachers pet really and a self confessed nerd (he likes this name for himself, says its another way of calling him intelligent lol). All of his friends are STILL girls.
Ok, so he does communicate with boys now, has been back for tea to a few lads houses etc but whenever I spot him at school he's always surrounded by girls.
His teacher told me the girls are getting to that "catty" age where they're quite nasty to each other and they all tend to go to DS to spill out their problems. DS gets quite stressed and tries in vane to sort things out for them which often gets him shouted at and told to stop interfering.
He told me he didn't want to go to an all boys school as his friends always tend to be girls.
Is this likely to continue all through secondary school? he starts in september. Will he miss male companionship? He has a much older friend (14) who seems pretty similar. Always surrounded by girls. But he does play rugby etc so he gets the companionship that way.
Am I worrying over nothing?
