Except my husband will get it. heehee But, seriously, I applaud his supportive efforts, and I'd do anything like that for my child without hesitation. There is always a balance, though - something you and I have talked about - about not forcing gender "standards" OR forcing gender neutrality. Just let kids be who they are.Jenarcissist @ the closet narcissisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427993886300110387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-41916926680197520892012-09-07T17:19:17.558-04:002012-09-07T17:19:17.558-04:00Love it.

It was okay for me to dress like a tomboy + play sports, but not okay for guys to dress in skirts/dresses + play with makeup. Totally lame. So proud of these parents who are standing alongside their babies, and letting them be who they are.

Very touching.<br />Makes me think of Brad and Angelina's cute little Shiloh and how they allow her to dress in the clothing of her choice...which is more what one would think of as "boy clothes". People are progressing in their open mindedness...but it has been a slow process...and does not reach everyone. One must look on the positive side and be thankful for these strides that have been made and try to outreach to those that haven't had this kind of support from their family, friends and community.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733506378522968525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-80557056680660295702012-09-03T10:40:09.018-04:002012-09-03T10:40:09.018-04:00Love this.

Having been born in the era of lousy dads myself, I applaud the boy's father for the love and commitment he shows. <br /><br />I'm sure you've already imagined what your own life would be like if your parents had supported you in the same way, and if so I would love to hear about it. Would you do a post about it? I really suspect there may be elements of that imagined life that are still within your reach!
