As I was vacuuming the floor an old newspaper advise column story popped in my head, it was written twenty or twenty five years ago and I thought it might be a good topic for discussion, then vs. now. Strange what your mind does when vacuuming. Here's the story.
A fourteen year old boy began wearing his older sisters bra's and panties and she was just fine with this, she even helped him with putting on and adjusting the bra. She said she had no problem with little brother wearing her undies and told him he could go in her lingerie drawer anytime. When the mother who was a psychologist found out about this she said she saw nothing wrong with this and told her daughter she would take him to the store and buy him his own bra's and panties so he wouldn't be wearing hers. When the father found out about this he freaked and said this was wrong and we should stop it. The boy also told his sister he would like her to start calling him Karen. The advise columnist didn't say him wearing girl undies was wrong but said when the boy wanted to be called Karen that put it in a whole new category. Fast forward to today, if this was your family what would you say if you were the father, mother, sister or boy?
