All 3 of the boyz are real “boy” boys. But middle one always wanted a sister. He found the “baby” doll that I had as a girl and he proclaimed it “Molly” his sister. He’ll read it a bedtime story and put her to bed next to him.
This really bothers my hubby. I dont see anything wrong with it, how say you people?
Re: Middle guy
It would not bother me. I would say leave him alone and he will grow out of it. Not everyone is same and he should not be expected to behave like his 2 other brothers.
Re: Middle guy
he's a boy...so its ok..when he becomes a man then it can be a problem.

Re: Middle guy
aww, dont worry he'll grow out of it :)
Re: Middle guy
leave him be- he'll grow out of it. the more of an issue your hubby makes of this, the more of an issue it will become, you know? its not an issue at all right now.
Re: Middle guy
That is so cute....please do let him continue with that and he should grow out of it...and get annoyed with you guys every time you try and remind him :)
But he seems to have a sensitive side to him...and he's gonna be one of those men who really know how to look after a woman!! How old did you say?? I have daughters so.....he he
Re: Middle guy
aww .....men generally do have a problem with their boys playing with dolls. I dont see anything wrong with it.....nothing wrong with a guy being nurturing. He's learning just that while playing with his doll. Besides I think most kids imitate their moms at this age...no?
Re: Middle guy
I don't see anything wrong with that. He is gentle. A friend of mine had a similar issue, but her son A would play with a doll...but not like dress up like girls do. But rather the same where it'd be his sister or daughter..and he'd take care of it. And as someone pointed out, they may just be mimicking you as you take care of them.
Re: Middle guy
Yes thats my thing. I mean, the little guy has no desire to dress in my clothes or play with my make-up. He likes to take care of people and that can be a "guy-thing" as well as a "girl-thing". He's kind of a mother hen type but when he dresses up, its either bob-the-builder or cowboy or buzz lightyear. So if he has a soft spot I think its ok....I mean letting him keep his "baby sister" Molly will NOT turn him into a homosexual, yeah?
Re: Middle guy
Hmm...reminds me of my childhood days...I wanted to have a young brother like anything...and I used to make plans of playing with him, taking care of him and all that...I even used to make bed for him...then I actually got a young brother, Alhamdulillah...who turned out to be quite cute too :D...mashaAllah...but very soon I discovered all the not-so-nice things associated with babies...you know what I'm referring to?:D
So I guess its quite normal for him to behave the way he is behaving...he'll grow out of it himself...hopefully :)
Re: Middle guy
how cute!
Re: Middle guy
They say you're born a homosexual. So even if he were one (which I don't think he is) it would be too late anyway.
Re: Middle guy
one of my friend's kid brothers used to play with her barbie dolls all the time! he was more attached to them than she was but so what, it didn't have a negative effect on him at all. i don't think its a sign of anything other than him transferring his affections on something else, perhaps mimicking you, and all the other reasons stated here. and keep in mind, he is the middle one- perhaps he just wants something of his own, all his own, that he can lavish attention on and have it be something exclusive to him. i'll bet with three boys theres probably a lot of competition for toys and space and attention from you and your hubs going on as it is-- maybe this is "his thing" that only he plays with and is responsible for.
