Don't lesson to the other people. putting him into dresses does work. my 9yo son has been wearing dresses and panties for almost a year. and what a wonderfully change it made in him.\nKaren

I would start with several sets of sexy undies.  At least one outfit should be in her taste, that she would feel comfortable wearing.  You should have 4 or 5 outfits that YOU like.  I don't know your personal taste, but the slave idea sounds interesting.  Costumes are always fun.  Maid, cheerleader, schoolgirl, slut.  You may even want to get a matching outfit that you can wear together.  Of course you're going to bring several of your cutest nighties for when you two cuddle up when you have your girlie sleepover. Go for it, sweetie.  I hope you both have a wonderful weekend.  Let us know how it went.

I was thinking about something like this just the other day, how liberated women are to be able to wear what they like suits, trousers, ties no one bats an eyelid - yet if a man wears a skirt or make up everyone throws a hoohaa and the guy is labelled a pervert or worse. This is simply not right, I hope that society will overcome this shameful stigma rapidly and appreciate that we should be able to wear what we like when we like.\n\nI wish you the best of luck with what you do, but don't keep this as a thing which you are embarrassed or ashamed about - the more people who are proud of who they are, I firmly believe, the faster society will accept it. And if you are planning to surprise your partner with your stilettos I advise you warn them because you don't want any of the above narrow-minded reactions :)

Not this year, but, about 20 years ago, my husband wore a dress and a wig to work, and told eveyone he got a sex change.  Of course, it was  a small business, and they all knew he was pulling a joke, but the customers sure were fooled.  It was all over town, and  people would come in and ask, "Did you really get a sex change?"  (actually believeing he did this overnight!!!) and he would pull the wig off, and yell "April Fool!"

A girl is a female child, we're adults (at least sometimes), how would you feel about being called a boy all the time!

Hi,\n\nFirst off, i've not got a 30ish son...but am a woman, my boys only a yr old.  :)\n\nI'd like to say all the usual..i'll support my son no matter what...if he feels like he should be a woman, then so be it. Or i often ask myself what i'd say to him if he told me he was gay one day.\n\nI'm not going to lie, i would be disappointed, but more for the fact of what society would treat him like than anything else. I wouldn't want my child to suffer.\n\nYour mother is from a different generation, she is bound to react differently to say what i will in 30 years time.\nIf you are her only son..then ofcourse she would love to see you married and have had children.\n\nBut, at the end of the day..she's your mother and loves you no matter what. She may be against it now, but it sounds like shes warming up to the idea.

Do you mean the schools make them ONLY wear underwear - nothing else? If this is the case, I would be talking to the schools directly, I am unsure if/how this can be justified myself, maybe the school itself has reasons - but ultimately you are the best person to judge what is right and desirable for your child, so if you are not happy with their response, say so - with your words and with your feet if need be. Good luck!

I myself would not wear such a thing, and I am in my 30's. I dont know why we people do what we do...Ok. If you are a parent (reading this question out of curiousity) who let your little girl wear any kind of message across her behind, it is not appropriate. The only people who can appreciate it are pedophiles.

Well, when I was younger, I was once mistaken for a boy.  But it wasn't because I was trying to look masculine--it was because I had some androgynous features, my hair was mid-length (this was in the 70's so boys wore their hair longer like Shaun Cassidy) and my mom wouldn't let me wear makeup at the time.    If a woman intentionally wear men's clothing, has a men's haircut, wear no makeup or jewelry, they are either attempting to look masculine, or at the very least, not at all feminine so if they are mistaken for a guy, then they really can't be upset about it.

I think it so sexy to see a man express him self by getting dressed up all pretty in female clothing! All males should get in touch with their female side!

AB NOT. Though I do not know about your family , etc...I do not think this is appropriate, not because it is dirty or anything scandelous like that, but we need to think about the greater picture - you do not want your child to be rideculed or anything further because of something like Prom. You should do other things to encourage your son to seek his own date, give him some ideas on how to attract/approach a girl (or boy depending on your son) - remind him how special he is and that there is most defintely someone out there for him!!! Worst comes to worse, find someone to go with him - do ANYTHING to find him someone worthy or someone who will make him feel special :) Good Luck!! (p/s i dont know what kind of financial situation youre in, but here is an ad a mother put up for her son....it may be a place to start!, if not, read the blog under it about peoples thoughts on this)

you should have been more compassionate. Your daughter's feelings are more important than your shopping. Come on. I think any decent mother would have taken her to either get a new pair of pants right away or tried to clean up the stain, and if not then went home. And you should not have made fun of her, in such an embarrassing moment. You oughta be ashamed. I would apologize to her.

I think a boy dressed in a skirt and heels.

wow.  This is the 1st time I have ever heard of parents criticising their daughter for dressing too conservatively.  Judging from your photos I can't see anything wrong with the way you dress.  There must be more to it.  Ask your Mum (or Dad if you are more comfortable but Mum is probably easier) why they think the way they do and then explain calmly why you feel how you do.\nIf this doesn't work, go and buy the shortest mini skirt and tiniest top you can find.  Choose a time when only your parents are at home and then dress in these clothes and show your parents how you look.  Go thong and braless as well, for full effect.  Try to be as revealing as you can and definitely do not look embarrassed (even though you will be).  Hopefully this will shock them into letting you make your own judgements and respecting your opinion.

Basically, your son is dressing how HE wants to see himself dressed, while the other boarders are dressing how they think everyone ELSE wants to see them dressed. They also think that conforming to this stereotype makes them cool, and making fun of those that don't conform (like your son) makes them "badass".\n\nYou should tell your son not to change his style. Assure him that his "friends" are essentially trying to be the same as either some movie character they've seen, or some celebrity, or just the general skateboarder "punk" stereotype. They're trying to fit in and think that doing so by dressing up (to show the world that they're cool) is how to do it.\n\nTo answer your final question: They're crazy, you're not. Tell your son he's got the respect of a fellow teenager who sees this ridiculous trendiness every day.

Why don't you all dress up as your Mom, during 8 major stages of her life.\n\nOne of you as a baby, the someone as a young girl, then a teenager, then when she got married, then one of you pregnant, then one of you in her work uniform, then one of you as she looks now, then one of you as Darth Vader because I have ran out of ideas.

Hello!! :o) Like some others who have already responded - I'm also curious as to how you know. But lets just assume that you 'accidentally' saw your son and his friend give each other 'hand jobs'. Contrary to what some guys say - a LOT of guys [especially young guys like your son] 'experiment' with each other. And more often than not - it goes no farther than 'mutual masturbation'. It's not a 'sign' of anything insofar as sexual orientation is concerned. [If it was - than MOST guys would be GAY - because MOST guys have had at least SOME same-sex 'experience'!!] But should you DO something about it?! Well... like what?! You certainly can't make it stop. You could - I suppose - threaten him or shame him. But that would just backfire and destroy whatever relationship you have with him. A parent always wants to keep the doors open [Emotionally speaking] and a sure way of closing those 'doors' is to make a child feel ashamed for being HUMAN. IF [and this is a BIG 'IF'] you have a good relationship with your son - and HAVE in past talked openly about things, including [perhaps] sex - you COULD bring up the topic in a 'round-about way. Without actually talking about him [and his friend] specifically [at least not at first] you could mention how normal it IS for kids to 'experiment' sexually with their friend. And let him know that THAT is OK. But also let him know that it's important to be careful about not getting carried away and doing things that maybe he [and his friend] shouldn't BE doing. THEN let him know that your 'door' is always open and he CAN talk to you about anything. AND that anything he tells you will be kept private. [And keep that promise!!] Saying anymore to him at this stage would probably just confuse him. I hope that helps. Craig!! :o)
