Ok my son is ten entering the fifth grade last year at elementary. He like the color pink I have no problem with that because guys are starting to wear it more. But my husband keeps putting him down for it and makes fun of him. So my son is scared to wear the color. I am letting my son developed his own indivisuality now with hair styles and clothing because he is getting to that age. I have talked with my husband and tried to explain things to him but he just doesn't listen. Any advice on how to get my huband to listen and be more supportive twords our son.

if have to be on your sons side right now the issue is a color no big deal but how controlling is your husband going to be towards him in the future with more important choices? a son worships his dad its devasting to think you are a dissapointment to someone you only want to impress. you need to get it through your husbands head that he doesnt need to belittle a child over such a simple thing and you need to make sure you are stickin up for your son and not letting your husband run him down.

Perhaps approach your husband in a sincere, concerned way and suggest that he might be a little insecure about his own sexuality since he seems so hung-up about this, and is there anything in his past he wants to get off his chest?
And when he says "Hell, no", TELL him to get off your son's case (it's not a request; be a fierce lionness when it comes to your son's welfare! Do. Not. Degrade. My. Son.) Tell him what you will do if he does it again, and follow through. Treat this seriously.
If he harps on your son in general, that's a big problem for your son now and for what sort of man he will become. His color preferences mean nothing; it's nice that he likes any color.
This is emotionally abusive behavior you're describing. It tears a kid apart when a parent makes fun of them. It's your duty to ask your son how he feels when his dad does that, and let him know that you know it's wrong, you're sorry about it, and are trying to make it stop.

Brooks Brothers pink gown shirts. placed on with Khakis or denims. comparable is going for a mild pink polo or salmon pink shorts. A tie with pink in it. Little boys merely could desire to maintain far off from awesome pink. I do have a corduroy jacket with a warm pink lining interior (and that's surely a masculine jacket), besides the indisputable fact that that's a no longer undemanding coloration to escape with for a touch boy. pink on men is an fantastically preppy look.

omg ...tell yer hubby to grow up...its just a color!...a color preference doesn't define sexuality...if that were the case ....all women who like blue would be lesbian.....he needs to stop bagging on yer son about such measly things before he destroys his sons self esteem! One of the things that have been proven to illicit a boys interest in "dabbling" in homosexuality, however, is the need for POSITIVE male feedback....give THAT scoop to yer hubby and tell him to chew on that thought for a while....

Pink is just another color. It is not indicative of anyone' sexuality o a man's manliness or a woman's womanliness. but wacth out for those ones that wear green, they might be a low life mick. I am on your side, I prefer donuts over hot dogs.

husbands like yours don't listen. i know, i had one. your son is perfectly "normal" whatever normal is. maybe if you told your husband that he more he teases his son the more his son is going to like pink..... because generally if you forbid someone something they will be more attracted to it. good luck. maybe someday your husband will be a supportive and kind human being

ur husband probally has issues with being in touch with his sensitive side. just tell him that ur sure ur son will grow out of it. right now its a trend espc. with urban kids mostly because its gang related.

Buy your husband a pink sweater. He'll get the message.
