Just an FYI. ;-) And I would have reacted much the same way, except for the make-up issue, which I would have said "boys can wear make-up on Halloween and when they're actors or musicians" ... because that seems to be the only time that males can, without society making life hell for them. Unfortunately. Well, that and if they're emo kids, which I don't like, nor do I endorse. I talk to my Son exactly the same way, as if he were an adult. But he knows not to cross me, either! LOL I'd say that we're well on our way to raising our boys to be the type of men that will have their future spouses thanking us someday. I thank my mother-in-law for most of the values she instilled in my Husband (though not all! some I curse her for!). You're doing just fine! .-= Shelli´s last blog...<a href="http://blackroseheart.wordpress.com/2010/02/25/hibernation/" rel="nofollow">Hibernation</a> =-. Randy Pausch kept a diary.

And I asked "why can't I go play football" "because you aren't a boy" I never again played volleyball. I hate wearing make up. I have just finally started getting my eye brows waxed. I'm not much of a girl. So it's probably a good thing I have a boy. A boy that covets my friend's boots, bracelets, and necklaces, but a boy none the less. (I think because his mom has none of these things...) .-= Randa´s last blog...<a href="http://iheartporkchops.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/holy-crap/" rel="nofollow">Holy Crap!</a> =-.
