Should I let my son wear this Halloween costume?

My 10 year old son has always been more on the feminine side. He loves dolls and long hair, girl cartoons. I love him and it has never bothered me. I though when he was younger this may have been a phase, as he gets older I am starting to realize that may not be the case. His siblings and I support him and never judge him. This year for Halloween he said he wants to be a My little pony character. He said he’s like to wear a wig as well so he doesn’t look like a boy. How do I handle all of this? I am obviously going to get him what makes him happy, but if I post pictures on social media… how do I handle judgy people?

Yea you’re not convincing that you’re gonna let him do this.
Who cares what people say about what he likes. Is he happy? What’s wrong with liking all that?
You can’t even be confident in and for him so how is he going to be confident about things he enjoys…

Let him. And for what others thing? Tell 'em to go f themselves. You’re supporting your child which is more important than anything they may think

Let your kiddo be exactly who he is. Sit down and ask him about himself and let him tell you. As for those judgey people out there, simply set the settings so they can’t see or delete those negative against your child.

Let him wear whatever he likes, but in a kid friendly way tell him some people aren’t very nice about this idea and how you and him would handle any issues

If they are judgey, make jokes, can’t handle it then they don’t deserve to be in your circle. Family, friends or coworkers

My son plays with dolls and likes dress up, he also likes cars and trucks and power rangers but I support him no matter what he wants to do. He’s only 4 and he’s been so open minded about a lot of things. I don’t stop him from being him. That’s our job as parents support them and make sure they’re happy, as long as no one else gets hurt there’s no problems

It is what it is. “Happy” Halloween. Be Happy !

how do you handle it? let that baby wear that costume and wig and if someone has something to say about it on your social media do they really news to be on it in the first place?

Don’t care about what other people think, care about his happiness

Why is other people’s opinions even a factor?
Don’t worry about them.
It’s Halloween!!! Guys dress as women…girls dress like male characters…
Not a big deal.
And if he wants to keep wearing a wig, get him one that compliments his skin tone.

Well you delete the judgy people you have on social media cause you don’t need those type of people in your life

Tell them to F off… u have a happy little boy that feels safe to be himself… well done mummy. :clap: xxx

Let him rock that damn costume and f*ck the haters!! You support that baby in whatever he wants to do! Give him the love to outweigh the haters.
Also a great way to filter out that friends list and inner circle :rofl:

Lord who gives a crap. Good way to ŵeed out the idiots on your friends list. My daughter came out to me about 3 months ago and i have a brother thats majorly homophobic and i told him. She asked me what i was gonna do if he got mad and i said wipe that slate clean! If people wanted be fools and pissed off at the fact that my daughter is gay then good riddance i dont need you in my life. Family or not my baby is my happiness and if shes happy fu€k what everyone else says!!

Tell them to kiss your a**. Make your baby happy.

:fu:this is how you handle it. Who cares what other people think, everyone will have opinions both ways. If it makes your son happy then let him be happy. Post the pictures and know that that moment he gets to be his my little pony character will be one of the best memories he has.

Tell them to go pound salt. It’s your kid not theirs.

Halloween is the one day of the year you can express yourself without fear of judgement. Don’t let anyone take that from him. Delete any negative comments, block them, and move on. Anyone that judges a child for being what they want to be ain’t shit anyways hunny. Ps. My 10 year old son likes my little pony too, we used to watch it ALL THE TIME. lol. But no he’s into anime and I miss the MLP days :pensive:

let him be what ever he wants to be

People are going to judge just stand up for him let him be himself and love him

My youngest daughter is such a tomboy and refuses to wear dresses, skirts & bows. If she wants a boy outfit I let her get it. & she’s going to be iron man this year for Halloween. Let people say what they want & definitely block them off social media & out of your life if they have negative things to say about your child… that’s what I would do. Good luck mama!!

The real friends and family will have nothing but good, uplifting things to say about his costume!
Post those pictures and support him whichever way you can! Block the haters with mean comments.

U delete them asap. If they cant love him without judgement then they dont belong in his life

If you have judgy people on your page then you shouldn’t be friends with them esp if they judge young kids. Your child happiness is all that matters. Don’t be embarrassed on what your child wants to be who gives a f*** what people think. If they don’t pay your bills or feed you or f*** then their opinion don’t matter. Let your child be who they want to be they are only young for so long let him enjoy it and be happy

If that what makes your boy happy then so be it who cares what people think as long as he’s happy that’s what matters xx

You tell them to fuck in a polite way. He is your kid and to Hell with what anyone else thinks. You rock as a mom for being so supportive.

I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure there are boy ponies as well but either way they are horses, thats pretty unisex and he’s a child. Let him be happy and tell judging Judy’s to kiss your ass :fu::kissing_heart:

Don’t owe anyone anything let the kids be kids tell em scroll on …

People who judge you can live without. Let your son wear what he wants and post them proudly

Yo, fuck them judgy people. * delete * delete * delete. Let him be the fun kid he wants to be.

U tell them to worry about their own kids u got yours covered

Just tell them to piss off and delete you if they have a problem with it and if it’s family then they aren’t really family so toodaloo :woman_shrugging:t3::100:

Who cares what everyone else thinks he’s got the support he need at home🥰 The rest of the world can be cruel but if anyone decides to be rude you can put them in there place or delete them from your life! My 11yr old stopped watching my lil pony 2 yrs ago I really miss it. I have 3 boys no girls and I wish I had someone to watch the girly cartoons with😂 (yes I enjoy kids cartoons😝)

Let your son live the life he wants, support and love him for who he Is.
anyone that judged my child for it would be out of my life.
Or use it as a moment to educate them on personal choice and their manners

Start now by defending him to anyone who tries to judge him. This will be the case half of his life. Be his protector so he’s safe to be whoever he wants to be. :heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat: when you understand that the soul carries both genders it all starts making more sense.

You tell those people to fu#k off and tell your child how amazing he looks

Don’t post pictures :woman_shrugging:t2:

Let them judge parents are gonna be judged one way or another as long as your kiddo is happy and health who cares.

You meet the judgmental comments with kindness and understanding but don’t tolerate shit.
This is what he asked to be for Halloween; he’s old enough to make the choice as to what to wear for Halloween. We love him. If it bothers you don’t look. But he’s a kid, mean comments from grown adults won’t be tolerated. Snooze me but as for me and my kids, I will support and love them no matter what.

You handle judgy people by telling them to shove it up their butts. Once these people make it known how big of turds they are you can block them (if they decide to comment on a pic) but also most people won’t think twice about a kid in a costume once your out trick or treating.

Honestly I’d be more concerned with judgment he may personally face while out on Halloween. Social media you just block people. But I’d find a way to explain to him on his level that while you support him other people may not. At 10 he’s old enough to make an informed decision. If he thinks he can handle potential backlash then let him wear it. If he isn’t sure he’s ready or able to deal with it he may want to find another costume he likes.

There is NO wrong way to be a boy. Maybe in his brain, he doesnt see himself as a boy. As mothers, it’s our job to protect our babies. If someone judges your child, you make it known that its not their child to worry about and they need to worry about their own judgemental mindset before worrying about someone elses child. And then you delete them and cut all ties with them. Theres always gonna be someone judging. But all that matters is that you and your kids are happy and healthy. Nothing else matters.
