My 7 year old

[Michelia]

My little man came up to me yesterday and asked me what is that site where all those girls are. He wanted to know if I was going to leave my SO and get another wife. This was a very logical question given the fact that when I divorced my ex, I found my present and wonderful SO online and he was privvy to the whole thing.

I told him this was not that kind of site. But he wanted to know more. He wanted to see it. So I showed him the avatars of our present lovely ladies. He asked me if they were men. I told him yes. He seemed perplexed. It seems he had thought all along that his daddy was the only guy that did this. He was very interested.

He kept asking many questions and finally dropped a big one. He asked me if I wanted to become a girl. I explained that was not the case at all. He then asked me if I wish I had been a girl and I told him no way because then I would not have been so lucky as to have him be my son. He was very happy with this answer.

Finally he told me he understood what it was that I liked about crossdressing. He said it must be the way it feels. I said Bingo.

It's funny. He has always been so natural about everything and had never asked questions before. I am glad he opened up.

Michaela, good for you, and good for your son, i hope he grows up undrestanding that people can dress in what ever makes them feel good. at this age he seems willing to accept his dad just the way he is. you are blessed with a very wise young lad.

It must be confusing for a seven year old to know that his dad crossdresses. Sounds like the two of you are dealing very well with it.

It is good you can explain things this way, and at that age, kids are not hateful or judgemental yet.

Lucky for me, I have a wife that sometimes refers to me [and sometimes in front of our 10 year old] as a F'ing sick a** crossdressing f****t.

I don't know what my son makes of this, he has not seen me truely en femme. Hopefully he will develop his own opinion that is not as hateful as that woman I married. Of course I won'dn't know how to bring it up anyways, I am not about to sit down with him and say "Well boy this is how it is, some guys like to wear women's things...."

I just feel the necessity to speak my peace on this statement. Please try to call attention to your wife that your son IS in fact half of you, when she calls you bad names in front of him, she is hurting him as well because he realizes that he is half of you. I view this as child abuse at it's finest. I know many others don't agree with this but I really urge you to do something about this. One day I imagine your son might wonder why you didn't stop her from hurting him so badly.

Also, I don't know how old your son is but I imagine that in time he will understand what crossdresser means. I think it would serve him best to explain it in a good way before his mother has you tainted as this evil horrible creature. I can't even imagine what he is imagining. The truth is that a childs imagination is often much scarier than the truth.

Congrats on being open and honest with you son about yourself. This is how we get to influence the next generation.
The hand that rocks the cradel rules the world. :heehee:

:hugs: and :love:'s,

Well Kris I don't know. My son is a smart kid. Often lazy, but quite smart.
My wife is not very smart. Her and I do not communicate well. She is one of those types who starts yelling and acting stupid when she doesn't like what is being said. And of course nothing is ever her fault, no matter what.

Well I won't bore you with our marriage details. I might add that she does not say stuff like this all the time. Maybe once or twice.

[Kris]

Maybe once or twice.

I can tell you almost every time my mother said a hurtful thing about my father.

Words stick forever.... it only takes one time.

I wish you well,
Kris

I agree with Kris on this. There is no excuse for your wife to say that in front of your son. If she has issues with you, she should express those in private. Even then, I can't condone the language that she uses. I think it is important to parents to remain supportive or at least civil to each other in front of their children. The negative consequences of not can have long term effects on your children.

U r an adult's adult, in my oppinion. I've been trying to become one for as long as I can remember! Not there yet.
Many folks would be worried that if their kid knew about their parent's CDing, the kid mite "catch it" from them.
