Opinions

Hello Beautiful World,

I have been missing some days here but I'm still around. Not alot has happen but one thing caught my eye and my thoughtie nerve. Now we all know how is hard raising our kid(s) in a world that has so many corners and ideas of what we "should" be like. First, let me say, I am not against anyone who is GLBT but does include a little on the life style.
Ok, so a mom decides to name her kid a cute name. Cute enough even for a boy or girl. No worries because names we can change along the way. Let me cut this short, in my opinion (which we all are entitled to) this lady is doing an experiment with her kids. LOL. I am including a link but seriously, letting your kid(s) decide in what they want to be a male or female, or dress as a girl being a boy. THEN the son says he wants the peeople to know he is a boy. DING DING DING!!!!! Helloooooo is your son telling you something. He knows he is a boy, he wants it to be known.

smh, another thing, her son(s) is being homeschool. Why? Is there a reason you don't want them to see the world? I mean if you sooooo want them to pick what they want to be or "discover what they want to be", then let them see their choices out in the world... Let them go to school, interact with others, let them feel what it is to be where they are. I'm not wishing for bulling for them or any kid, but to me it seems that you want a shortcut to the teachings of motherhood.

Lets think about this...
GirlA- grows into teens to have a strong head on her shoulders that she knows she is capable of deciding what she wants. She dresses boyish because its comfortable, nothing wrong with that.
GirlB- quiet, smart, also knows what she wants, dresses femine, too introvert because lack of communications to the outside (school or other)
BoyA-likes to dress as a girl at home only, know he is a he, strong, talkative, making sure others knows he is a male by his playful actions or gestures. Too outthere, in other words, needs to let others know who he is.
BoyB-dresses like a boy, because lack of communication too quiet, confused at certain things in life,

I don't want to make this long but eightor way, as we grow we each learn that people out there will make fun of others. Because of this we as parents have this protective instinct for our kids, but letting them to "discover themselves" seems too naive to me, especially at what 2, c'mon. We are here to guide them and this is not guiding this is letting them think MORE than "Can I get more ice scream".

Ok, you are doing this...but do we not think how the later days, weeks, years will be like for them. Is there going to be a confusing as in "mom you should have told me I can't wear pink". (BoyA)
In my opinion, if a mom choses to raise her kids another form, then its fine but think about it in the future too. I know many of us wants to make a point to the world, but sometimes we go a little to far, in respect to this mom and her family, a little to far to use our kids and test the waters out.

I really hope her method works out somehow, because I am not thinking of how bad she will look if it doesnt....I'm thinking more of the childrens self esteem and way of thinking towards the world. If we look closely we can find that the world is a nice place to live, even with those idiot comments that some humans make.

I do wish her well and all.

ekkkkk!!! xoxo
