FabSwingers.com forum: My son prefers girly books

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

So. My son prefers girly books.

We have many ‘Thats not my...’ books. They cost £6.99 a pop! We bought some of them second hand, a couple were gifted and we currently have a library pile.

However, we have a problem.

My sons favourite books are ‘Thats not my princess’ ‘Thats not my witch’ and ‘Thats not my mermaid’

I’m not happy with this AT ALL.

How do I peer pressure him into enjoying the other books?

I wanna make sure I get my fucking money’s worth

Sell the books he's not interested in and buy him a princess dress to wear during story time

Don't pressure him

He is emulating his Mum most probably

I believe kids just find their way

My daughter hated dolls and all sorts of girly ness, now she's into hair make up and looking pretty.

He's just tiny, appreciation of any books at that age is a good thing

Enjoy, I kind of miss it, but I have a box of those books in the attic

Any reading is great for young kid's. I'm sure it helps their education get off to a flying start. If he's enjoying any books, you're well on the way. I used to love reading bedtime stories to my son, but he's bigger than me now, and won't let me

Try some community centres, church/village halls. Some do book swaps, you take a book, read it then return or leave a book of yours , sometimes they have a donation box. Stewarton and dunlop have them. Even the old phone box in lugton has some lol

Among my siblings there are two who struggle with reading and two voracious readers who picked it up easily. We all grew up with equal access to books.

I worked in a private nursery, in the toddler room (so 2-3 year olds). A wee boy put on a princess dress, when his dad picked him up from nursery he said ‘look daddy, I’m a fairy!’ And his dad was absolutely fuming, I’ll turn his son gay, how dare I blah blah blah. Put a complaint in against me, that didn’t stick

Children don't have any sense of gender at a young age and will play with any toy or read books that catch their attention, it's interacting with their peers and family as they grow up that changes this so I wouldn't worry he'll soon be chucking the girly books to the side.

Why would you want to stop him enjoying what he enjoys.

There is no black and white. He may be a masculaine man or he may be the campest of them all, or somewhere in between. But as long as hes happy, thats all that matters.

I love that your getting your son a doll & pram for Christmas. I have a daughter 7years old, I have a few nephews & nieces. My nephews love to come to my house as they get to play with dolls, prams, a kitchen & wear what they want. My brother wouldn't approve but I let them be. They'll soon grow out of it or not but at least they know it's ok to be what they want to be, play how they want, not be judged for doing it either. I think you should just let your son enjoy them & you enjoy the fact that he's actually reading books. My daughter & I have a book obsession it's bad they're every where. We're reading Marge in Charge at the minute & my daughter loves them. She wants a babysitter just like Marge ,she laughs at them I love it !!

My son used to sometimes have his hair braided to his head and wear fairy outfits, he's very much a man's man now but he had a really good time dressing up when he was little. For him I think it was just a way of learning about different things and seeing how stuff felt.

Similar with my bro. We grew up with books, newspapers, magazines galore. I was/am a bookworm but he never really got the hang and still dislikes reading as an adult in his 30s. Our son was a proper bookworm with varied taste. Our 3yo daughter loves books too, especially nursery rhymes and songs in books. She "reads" them to herself (recites them) and is now pointing out the different letters and what words begin with that letter.

The bit where she reads to us is coming way sooner than I'd planned

He is seven and is very aware of what is socially 'acceptable' in the confines of his classroom and generally conforms, but outside of school he is much freeer in expressing himself

Threats on the safety and wellbeing of his favourite cuddly toy always seems to work. Start reading them boy books or Mr floppy ears get it! (Or something of that nature). Granted I'll probably never win parent of the year award.

Or just let the kid be who they want to be a keep the unused books in good condition for a better price on ebay. Either/or I suppose.

I think children of both genders learn from a very early age what is expected of you to conform to your gender role. And society will put you in to blue or pink, accordingly, and either action man or barbie according to your birth sex. When I was at school in the 1970s early 1980s,there was no mention of lgbt issues, and if there was it was always negative. At least now it's opening up thoughts and options. It's still far more acceptable for a girl to be a tomboy, than a boy to be feminine. These rules are very ingrained in people's psychology, which is why parents panic when their children defy gender norms. Think they should let the child have both male and female toys and clothes, so he could be a princess one day and a soldier the next, rather than hitting the roof cos little Johnny wants to be a princess.

I saw a story where a female journalist got death threats because she let her toddler son have a tutu FFS.

It's just bizarre. If Billy wants a tutu let him have a tutu. So what?

I’m not sure if people have clicked that my post is satire. I bloody love how babies and young children don’t gender anything. It’s amazing. My baba has a few ‘girly’ clothing - a pair of harem trousers covered in rainbows, clouds, sunshine’s etc. And rainbow leggings, a pink jumper, and a lot more. Who cares?! He looks cute as hell
