My Son

[Ali_Dilkes]

My son keeps calling his penis a vagina, he is 5 and runs around the house calling 'look at my vagina'. Do you think this could lead to him being confused about his sexuality or had he just heard it from a friend at school? i dont want a cross dressing son. advise please!

[WaldoMcFroog]

It sounds very much like the sort of thing he may have heard at school. Most likely, someone with an older sibling has been told something and passed it on incorrectly. Find out where he learnt the phrase - if it's endemic at school, it may be very difficult to correct his error without enlisting the school's assistance to point out the error.

I think you simply need to correct his terminology - if he points at his penis and calls it a vagina, he's simply got it wrong! Find out his general opinions on his gender. At five, he should be able to tell you if he likes being a boy or not, and that should give you an idea of whether it is a matter you should be concerned about. In my (admittedly limited) experience, this kind of thing is pretty common, and will pass.

Just simply tell his that it's little girls that have vaginas and that little boys have a penis like his. There is no need to tell him any more unless he asks. As Waldo says, this sounds like it has come from school, and having worked in a primary school in my time, I am not surprised. Kids playground talk is eye opening!

"i don't want a cross dressing son" a) nothing you can do about it if he decides he wants to be a cross dresser when he grows up. b) if he does become one you gonna disown him?

[Ali_Dilkes]

If he becomes a cross dresser i will kill him.

[WaldoMcFroog]

How very reasonable.

[Ali_Dilkes]

what would the neighbours say?????? what would the good vicar say????? god did not design my boy to be a lady!

[Scarlett]

Oh bless him, he's only 5. My nephew fell over and banged his chin, and when we asked where it hurt, he said "My beard"!! He is just getting his words mixed up, that's all. correct him and explain that GIRLS have a vagina and BOYS have a penis.I'm sure he will get it eventually!!

[WaldoMcFroog]

I just asked God whether he designed your little boy to be a lady. He told me there's much more pressing matters at hand, and he wouldn't even waste his time worrying about something as trivial as cross dressing. Hope this helps.

Don't be angry with him, just correct him. Even if he does turn out to be a boy trapped in a woman's body, it's not his fault and you shouldn't be mad

[ICEMANSAV]

He could make you some money look at lilly savage!!

Another one of Ali_Dilkes attempts to talk about sexual matters. I really didn't look at the questioner's name when I posted my original response, otherwise I would have ignored it.

[B_Ramkesh]

Oh! I didn't realise this Ali_dilkes is an Admin user. I wouldn't have answered otherwise. thanks Fake Plastic :) I thought this was a serious question.

Ali_Dilkes, can I just make sure that this is an actual genuine concern, and you're not just taking the pi**, like several people have been doing over the last couple of days. Because some of your own replies leave me a little bit stunned! If you don't want a son who could potentially grow up to be a cross dresser, then you don't deserve a son at all! Poor little guy..

[georgit79]

Looks like you've been sprung. Play your stupid games elsewhere, ok? There are people giving genuinely concerned responses here!
