My son knows

[paulaN]

well!!! this is what happen at my house yesterday. I work 12 hour shifts and when I come home from work I look at the mail. there was a package addressed to me that was open. (My wife had only been home for a short wile and was standing right there). when I picked up the package and looked inside I saw a sticker that said breast form store in big black letters. I said woopsie and the wife said woopsie is right I looked in it too. It was tape for my new breast forms. I had just ordered the new forms on wendsday. thay sent the tape first in an envolope type package. now the reason he had opened the package is because he thought it was magic cards that his mother had ordered for him, and he wanted them bad. that is no excuse for opening mail with my name on it and he never would have except for the card thing. he also wasn't thinking very well because it would have come in his mothers name not mine. that does not realy matter now, he must have saw what was in the package just like my wife and I did. I have not said anything about opening my mail to him and I don't think I will. but there is no dought in my mind that if he didn't know his dad was a crossdresser he sure does now. to tell the truth I think that he knows anyway he is 18 and I am sure he has done his share of snooping over the years. oh well there is not much I can do about it now but wait for my forms to get here woo hoo!!!!!!!!

If he's anything like my son, he's probably been in your drawers looking for socks.
Although my son (21) hasn't said any thing in the last year, I'm sure he knows. Of course Kendra's clothing is hung in my wifes and my shared closet, but they are obviously not my wife's. And the shoes are a dead give-away.

Hey Don't Sweat It!!

Kids love by this unconditional way, unlike alot of adults. My kids are 11 and 9 and have know for sure for the last 4 years and probally sooner. They have seen me and usually half the weekend they are with me I am fem in some sort of way. They even ask to go out with me as Kiera. Yes it's true they don't live with me ft right now but I see them every day and their Mom knows that as soon as I get a 3 bedroom place they have told her they want to live with me. Even though I'm a CD

Now All I got to do is find a GG then life would be perfect :happy:

Sounds like its all being taken in stride, I have a boy myself but lives with his mom, my ex, he's 10 soon to be 11, he hasnt really truly yet seen me in Sierra mode, witch now is my 24/7 mode , I hope that he'll take it well and not hate me , but this is still a nervious fear of mine , I'll be seeing him in 07'
at summer time I'm sure , but I will post a thread for supportive advice when the time comes, not sure when that will be .........but congrats, its good for you both that he knows.....good luck.........:happy:

My wife was folding our underwear last night and the subject came up about who know about my dressing. She told me that one other day when she was folding my underwear. Our oldest son came into the laundry room and said that the stuff sdhe was folding wasn't hers. She told me that he knows. He is 19 and it apparently did not make one bit of differance to him. I sure didn't know that he had any idea. I am pretty sure that our 2 younger boys know too. They are 11 and 12.

Paula, he might not guess anything from the package. Up until a year and a half ago I had no clue what a breast form was. As for whats inyour dresser drawers, that is another story. Me and a couple of other teenage friends knew what was in their parents drawers..... If they had known, and they might have, they would have been a bit red faced. Its amazing how kinky our parents can be.:devil:

Hi Paula
I'm sure he figured it out pretty quickly with a few key strokes in google. My son lives with me FT and he is 17. With no SO around and a dresser and closet full of my fem clothes, i'm sure he has had a peek while looking for socks and such. He has never mentioned it and probably won't until he is older. Besides, my long finger nails and plucked eyebrows are pretty much a give away (he has never met Lois). It's just something to learn to live with i think.
Don't forget to send some pics with the new forms is place.......

I don't know how much he knows and it realy doesn't matter. But I live in a very small town and I do not realy want to be outed. As long as he keeps his mouth shut ( I think he will) every thing will be fine. then again I have lived with this secret for so long that I don't care any more. maybe beeing outed would be the best thing that has ever happened to me. only time will tell.

Hi Paula, That's always a touchy area. I think my son knows and he's 35. Nothing's been said but he needed to go into my bureau one time because I was staying overnite at the hospital with my wife. He went to get me a change of clothes and he told me he couldn't find any underwear! I just mumbled something. My drawer is filled with just panties because I don't wear men's any longer. He's married and he always calls now before coming over! My wife just shrugged her head as she thinks he still doesn't know.
I've been out to my wife for 3 years now. It's a gray area as far as I'm concerned. I don't think I'll ever discuss it with him unless I'm "caught" by him.
Good luck Paula!
Another Mainer,
Hugs

I live in a small town also Paula. I appreciate your concerns believe me!

Wow what a timely subject. This weekend my wife and I went to atl and met the triess group there. While at the meeting my son called my wife and kidded to her about not bringing me home with shaved legs. By then it was too late cause they got waxed on tuesday.
My 16 year old and I have a great relationship though. I truly feel he would except it but was given good advice from my wife and several others at the triess gathering about not outing myself. I worried allthe way home afraid he would put me on the spot about my legs but he didn't.

Paranoya will destroya!

I still thinks he suspects but I am not going to bring it up unless he does. 16 is an awkward age.

Except for Halloween mine have not seen me dressed. But in that I usually only wear panties and they know that most of my jeans are not men's (plain but stretch denim) girls can tell, radar I think.
I have a great relationship with both, my son and I are both sport freaks. I've helped coach his teams. My daughter and I get along well also.
Anyway I digress, if you raise them to be tolerant and accepting andyou give them respect and love. They will understand, I hope.
I would like to be open with them but my wife does not want me to tell them. Personally, I'm pretty sure that they know, they've kidded me and I kid back, neither acknowledging or denialing it.
Forget it and it will pass over. Will he spill the beans, no what teen is going to announce that his Dad likes to wear dresses.:o

I have an 18 y/o and although I don't/haven't let him see me, my wife tell me he also has some of the same trait I do...:rolleyes:

He is into to the semi gothiclook and enjoys fingernail polish and eye makeup, even been known to "accidently" pickup one of her pair of panties...funny how the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree...:o I have never discussed with him about dressing, although if ask I would be totally truthful...I think unlike my dad and me< not knocking him, different generation and time >we have a really good relationship...we can kid about guy stuff as well as swap semi insults...all in good nature. :D

He and I both know though where the line is and neither have crossed it...:hugs:

My advice is let it flow...cross the bridge when you get to it, but be truthful, I'm sure your kids are as cool as mine are, they can handle it...:2c:

I am sure my 18 yr old knows about me as well. I have made too many little mistakes and he is too darn observant to have missed them. He hasn't said anything about it, and I don't think my wife knows he knows. If she did, she would probably be mad at me for not hiding it better.

Also if he knows, his brother knows. At this point, no one has said anything, so I guess that is ok.
