One of my friends told me that when her cousin was training in beauty and make-up she even used to practise on her young son and although in front of other family members, he liked it.
Also while shopping in the department store I once saw a mother testing nail polish on her son.
Also a woman I used to work with lived next door to a family where the son liked wearing dresses and was allowed to in the house and garden.....He was about 10years old.
Do you think this is appropriate or not?

Hmmmm....its definitely not the norm in our society thats for sure. So I can understand why you are concerned. Does this behavior seem to be impacting their own gender awareness? If it is, then I would say that it is inappropriate. Obviously, if this same 10 year old boy were to show up at school in a dress he would definitely face alot of criticism. That is a tough question, and one to really think over. When I was in high school we had a Switch Roles day for spirit week. Girls dressed as guys and guys dressed as girls. It was actually alot of fun, with some of the biggest hunks in school cross dressing and such. I found it thoroughly amusing to play a guy all day, down to the walk and pick up lines and the whole nine yards. But a mom practicing makeup on her son, thats a bit whack.

The only one I don't see appropriate is the testing nail polish one, unless he wants it to happen. There won't be an identity crisis with any of them, but frankly, they sort of sound like they're born in the wrong body if they like it. If they just like wearing dresses, woo for them, considering how many girls are becoming tomboys and won't go near them.
Frankly, kids need to try everything to know what they truly are. A dress isn't that bad.

It depends on their situation. There are so many things going on these days like transgender and people being born the wrong sex. Lifetime just had a movie about that. Some boys just like to role play like the nail polish thing. I wouldn't dress my son up myself. What other people do is really not our business though. You never know their situation. Dressing them up doesn't make them who they are. You just are who you are.

before each and every thing, i understand i'm not a guy yet i'm gonna answer anyhow. It truly relies upon on the type of guy. yet yeah an excellent style of adult males like innocuous women, and some like dumb women who pretend the have a mind of a 5 year old. yet maximum adult males are not many times attracted to the type of female who "pretends" to be dumb and innocuous for an easily courting on account that i might want to comprehend that they might certainly get drained of that style of female on account that she acts like she doesn't understand something. And the adult males ur speaking about probably purely provide her that style of interest even as she's round becuz they understand they could certainly use her and then promote off her. Sooo yeah

It is inappropriate to force it on a boy, yes.
It isn't if this is who the boy is already.
How do you know the boy with the polish didn't ask to try it?
These mothers could just be accepting what is already in their child. There is nothing inappropriate about loving someone for who they are!

It is somewhat normal most all boys when they are young do this it is when they hit 13 that I would worry if they still like it then I would try to talk to him and if that did not work then I would take him to see a doctor but for right now it is normal
good luck

Not at all. Boys need a father figure, otherwise they are nothing more than girls with 'something extra'
Behaviour like this is kind of sickening. These women have no respect for their own children.

I think it is especially inappropriate to do things like this to a child that will confuse his gender identity.
If he wants to do these activities as an adult, I have no problem.
