Mums, Dads, & Grandparents.........

Your opinions please.

I have been having a friendly banter with my daughter 40yrs (modern mum) who has been a Health Visitor for 15, with my 4yr old grandson.

Last week they came over to my place, and she had painted her nails with a new red shade, and he had blue nails.
I laughed and said, are you trying to make him gay, and she said he asked her because he watched her doing hers.

We got into a discussion, and she said I was old fashioned, (she calls me grumps by the way), and that there was no harm, and children have to experiment, as he would probably do it himself if she wasn't looking.

I didn't agree, and she said, ask you friends on A/B, and see what they say, so I have!

I think I am right, what do you think?

just for you sqad imagine the scene.....
I am sitting on the toilet, knickers in one hand, sanitary towel in the other. I take the sticky plastic off the sanitary towel, and stick the towel on my knickers. At this point the towel is on my knickers (agree?) and thats when my daughter asked me if it was my nappy i was putting on. Then i put my knickers round my ankles and pulled them up. At that point my sanitary towel is in my knickers.

LOl...LOL....LOL.......I have never encountered that scenario...LOL

[bednobs]

well in all honesty, i'm pretty glad you havent .... the thought of you standing watching someone sort out their sanitary protection gives me a bot of a shudder.

[Sqad]

Mind you bednobs if i had had my nails painted as a child, who knows what i would have encountered in later life.

[bednobs]

true ... you might even be inserting sanitary towels by now

[Sqad]

LOL...LOL....I have already done that.

being called in the middle of the night to sew up an episiotomy, the first thing that i did was to "stuff" a *** great swab in the vagina to stop blood obscuring the site.

I hated it!

If society considers it optional to one gender only wolfie then the answer is, no. There is no mirror equivalent.

'' To much information ''

sqad....I expect the lady having the episiotomy sewn up hated it just as much as you did...possibly more so....

[sherrardk]

Asked my lot about this tonight (said turning you into a 'girl' rather than gay) - they all laughed like drains and girl (eldest daughter) offered to paint thing 2's nails tomorrow - happy boy!

[DaisyNonna]

What exactly are effeminate habits?

[Sqad]

sherardk..........of course one would expect to get that response from you and your kids......it is a generation thing.

Remember that AB is made up of posters from perhaps 2 or 3 generations back and the opinions given would reflect that.

In the 40 and 50's there were 3 sexual genders.....male...female....and medical conditions associated with defective chromosomes and it was this that "coloured" one's attitude to sexual definitions.

In the last generation, there has been a change in attitude and social behaviour which has clouded the issue and the edges of sexuality are now "blurred" and AB answers reflect this.

That's all.

I am very much an open minded person but I would not be comfortable with nail varnish on a young boy..or girl really....same with pierced ears and grown up clothing in miniature....

[chikispirit]

You seem like an outspoken sort of chap, minty and can ruffle feathers easily but everyone in this life makes their own choices and has to suffer the consequences.

Neither wrong or right.

I wouldn't need to check policies and procedures on this one.

[philkool]

I agree trt,
He will grow up doing nothing but painting his nails tbh why women paint them is beyond me .
