My son is 7 and all boy.He likes to put on my knee high nylons and yesterday he had on a pair of actual nylons.He has no interest in girls clothes or anything just likes the feel of the fabric.What should I do about this if anything.

nylons feel kind of neat. i wouldn't worry about it regardless...just ignore it.

do they have anything similar for guys?

If you choose to discourage him, you may make him feel that his behavior is "bad" and he will feel badly about himself. We love and accept our children no matter what. Maybe he will grow up and be one of the men that loves stockings on his woman.

put them on his head and give him a toy gun to walk around with.. j/k..
worked with my girls we still talk when the guard let's us at visting hours if i am good.

Let him do it at home. They feel good to him.

My nephew loved when I or him Mom wore pantyhose/stockings/tights and would always be feeling on our legs. My son thinks they are neat, but I rarely wear them. My nephew is a grown man now and perfectly normal.

LOL @ Lazy!

lazy that sounds like a paln


I am choosing to play along.it isnt everyday or anything but it just shocked me a wee bit.
thanks guys for your replies.I dont want to scar the poor kid for life by having a inappropriate response .

mine did that and was about to bust his lil neck like you and i do trying to get those dam thangs on!!!!! WHAT A HOOT!!!!!

id say go with the flow...

There are a lot of men that wear panty hose. Men in the military do. They say it helps keep them warmer. They do make pantyhose for men, complete with the extra space just for them.
It is probably just a phase, I wouldn't worry too much, for now.

do they still call it pantyhose if it's intended for men? lol

maybe hose for bros

Maybe your son can convince some of the ladies I've been out with to wear them with a dress and heels. I've never been a fan of the bare-legged look with a dress & heels.

Well....does he look ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS in them???? Does he sashay to and fro around the house and sing "It's raining men"????

I am sure that he will find that socks are easier to put on because they are shorter.

Well, perhaps he is just fascinated by the whole "second skin" thing of panty-hose. When they are that young they dont really see it as womens clothing so much as a...um..."interesting grown device"?
hehe.

get him some

I wouldn't worry, Kids are funny that way. I have a six year old son whose father swears I 'm raising to be a girl! I'm not, it's just, you know I think it's good for them to experience what the girls get to play with and stuff. He loves to put makeup on, and used to paint his nails. now we limit it to toes cause he's in school, he has a bunny purse that he keeps his money in...On the other side, he is all boy, the karate chopping jumping off the bunkbed and yelling at the top of his lungs type!

hotandspicey, I hope i have a son who is just like yours someday. Sounds like he is going to grow up to be a really cool guy.

nothin, my boy liked that stuff when he was little too. they out grow it.

Hose for bros? ROTFLMAO!!! mine is wanting to start ballet classes. This would be a really good thing for his Cerebal Palsy and i support this all the way.

well ladies i feel better.i never discourage exploration but this just was a shocker since he is a loud all boy kid.But he does have that side that collects teddie bears,loves to play with cooking sets,dollhouses etc.I'm glad nhe has it because he will be a sensitive man i hope.
