Last night Dude asked me if he could wear black nail polish.
I guess I'll let him? Three year-olds won't tease him about that, right?

What do we call this now? We're not tcf'ing anymore... aptm? I was wondering the same. At first I was perfectly fine with the new name because I don't really care...but then I realized it sounds like a dating website.

cagoldi, I don't think he'd be teased. I think I'd just prep him that some kids might tell him that nail polish is only for girls and that he can tell him it's for anyone who wants to wear it.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk C wears toenail polish and whenever we change the color (pink, red, silver) he whips out his toes for everyone to see. No one has given him crap that I know of. I haven't painted his fingers because he won't sit still long enough for them to dry.

We'll be staying in S. Yarmouth, wedding . There is an inflatable park that's fairly ne win Hyannis or Yarmouth that I heard is great. We are going later in the summer. They have a toddler only section and areas for bigger kids. DH grew up in W. Yarmouth and his granparents lived in S. Yarmouth. Another thing we've done on desperate rainy days is go to the childrens museum in Mashpee. Its really cute and would have stuff for both kids.

I saw the inflatable park but I'll have to check out the museum ahead of time, too.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I've painted Ben's toes both times I did Maggie's. No way he would have accepted "no" and IDGAF. He also wanted me to put a teeny tiny little hairclaw in his hair this morning when I did Maggie's. I would have let him go to school like that, but he pulled it out and tried to eat it, so I had to take it away. I'm positive Dude DGAF either - he's a (literal) rock star.

cagoldi I don't think I'd let fear of teasing lead me to tell him no. I'd probably be prepared to answer questions in case kids comment on it.

I mean, I can't see telling him no so yeah, I guess I just need to think about how to handle it if anyone gives him a hard time. It kills me to think that he could be excited about something then be told he can't do it because "it's for girls." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I guess I should Google Captain Underpants... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's a series of books for about the second-third grade group. If T were my first, he probably wouldn't know what it was. The previews to the movie made him vibrate with excitement-"I'm gonna see that Superhero in the underpants."

Hey all. I tweaked something in my back. It feels like any wrong move could put me down for the count. I'm walking around the office like a brittle old lady. Aren't you due for a massage anyway? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I told them feel free to paint C's anytime. I don't understand why people would care. DH, however, thinks its weird that I paint C's but can't really explain why. Gender norms run deep I guess.

Especially now when plenty of boys/men wear polish and we know doing "feminine" things is not going to "turn them gay (as if that's a problem anyway)." People are weird. I think Pete doesn't love the idea but I know he's thinking of him getting picked on for being a "sissy" or some such nonsense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What do we call this now? We're not tcf'ing anymore... aptm? I was wondering the same. At first I was perfectly fine with the new name because I don't really care...but then I realized it sounds like a dating website. I wish changing the name was higher up on admin's to do list. I haven't tried to get on at work yet because I don't want the website to get flagged since it sounds like a dating website. I could be a little more active during the day if I was able to log on from my work computer.

M wanted toes like mine after I got a pedicure Saturday, so I painted his toes. MH tried that 'its for girls' crap, but I nipped it in the bud. Dude, he's 3. Let him be 3. After his bath on Sunday night, he wanted it off, so I took it off. Whatever floats your boat kid.

I have a working AC unit again!!! Yay! Mice had built a nest in the control box on the outside unit, chewed numerous wires, and then it burned some on the control panel. So glad to have it working again!

I'm kind of surprised so many still care about gender norms. Even just for the fact that there are so many bigger issues to focus on at this age.
