Can boys play with dolls and girls with cars?
I have a large toybox filled with Cabbage Patch Dolls, trinkets from fast food restaurants, stuffed animals, cars, trucks, boats, frisbees (used for tea trays)etc..
Usually the first thing my little grandsons go for are the dolls! Or they will grab a frisbee and put little dishes and cups on it and serve me a snack. My granddaughter will pick up a doll, love on it, then toss her down and grab one of the trucks. I see nothing wrong with either situation. I have 2 son-in-laws that would absolutely freak if they knew I let their sons play with the dolls.
I don't know of any child that hasn't at one time in their life wanted to wear mom or dad's or a grandparent's shoes. Especially if they had high heels. High heeled shoes make better clomping noise across the floor! :p
What's your take on this?
What do I say to the "freaking out" Dads?
So how do I explain to the Dads that this is normal and that I am not the Grammie from He-- trying to encourage their sons to become gay? I wish I knew whether or not they played with dolls when they were little, that would shut them up wouldn't it?
