Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.
However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”
My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.
Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)
Parenting. You’re doing it right.
I find it interesting how in every one of these stories I read it is ALWAYS the adults who take issue and make comments…
who wouldn’t like this
it’s a picture of a little boy wearing pink zebra striped flats
made of zebras!
well of course it’s always the adults
we’re the ones who have been indoctrinated already

This blog makes me rage so hard.
Do none of these people remember childhood? Your ability to control your child’s interests doesn’t change because what you want them to like is ~cool~.
As a parent, I hate that blog. I approve of the edits.
Im sure some of these people do have open minds, ex. 131. go to a sleepover, but i think some of them are ridiculous and the edits were good!
i like these edits.
I don’t ever intend to be a mother but if I did adopt then yeah this would apply so hard.
I remember coming across this blog a while ago, and rolling my eyes at basically every entry
Ugh
the revision pretty solidly reflects my own parenting plans
classic.
Ewoks in the Bushes
On a recent trip to Sequoia National Park in California, Anthony Herrera promised his kids that there were ewoks hiding in the woods. When they came home disappointed from not spotting any, Herrera did what any good dad should do: he deceived his children with the magics of Photoshop. Really though, I kind of wish Anthony was my dad. Maybe he’ll adopt me?

Dear Scarlet,
I found an old journal from the first few months I was dating your father. I was still in highschool. I wrote this when we’d only been dating like 2 months:
”I know this sounds ridiculous and pathetic, but I think I could spend the rest of my life with Gabe. Scary. Maybe I’m wrong. I really think we’re good for each other, and he’s the first guy I’ve met that I would even consider as the father of my kids. If I have kids. If I get married. We’ll see. I’d never tell anyone that though, especially him.” - November 8th, 2005
It’s so funny to look back on things like this, words I don’t even remember writing. There’s a lot of other crazy stuff in there that I’ll tell you about when you’re older and we talk about patience and hormones and knowing when to throw in the towel. One of my biggest hopes for your future is for you to know and share a love like your dad and I share. Male or Female, I don’t even care. I just want you to feel like this someday. I don’t mean to say that you need a significant other to complete you, because you are definitely A-OK on your own as well.
the idea behind this tumblr is precious

Harley

I sometimes imagine what my life would have been like if I had been named any of those things or been born a boy.
What’s your name and what were other options your parents though of?
