Is it normal for my son to play with a babydoll?

You shouldnt care what people think. Hes your son and no one elses. Im gay and I played with cars and trucks as a kid. It has no effect on a child. Your son is just showing a very caring side and you should be encouraging that.

People are so ignorant. Whatever you do, don't inhibit your son's form of pretend play just because it doesn't conform to gender stereotypes. When my brother and I were younger, he played Barbies with me and he grew up to be straight. Your son probably will too, but even if he doesn't, please continue to love him just the same.

Thanks for the feedback..the way people made me feel i was dooming him to a life of homosexuality if i let him have a f-ing doll. I am happy to hear that a lot of other people's sons, brothers ect played with baby dolls as well. makes me think maybe its just like..a phase

That's not a bad thing, that's cute. Caring for a baby doll teaches him to be kind. He's not necessarily going to turn out to be gay, but even if he does there's nothing wrong with that.

Those people that thought ill of your son are idiots. If anything he's just having fun. What's wrong with that?

One day your son may be a father and he's just copying what he sees you doing. No big deal.

My son had a little doll and when he saw me nursing a friend's child, I found that he had stuffed his doll upside down behind the toy box. He was two at the time. He later went on to play with little plastic soldiers and now those flippin' xbox shooting games!!

I see nothing wrong with this though you should have given him the doll at a different time. He will grow out of it.... well my little brother did. Later on he will probably be protective of his sister.

Yes totally, I don't see anything wrong. He's just learning to be a daddy.

of course it's fine for your son to play with dolls as a doll is an imitation baby (nothing wrong with it at all) and men grow up also to care for babies x

And I just wanna say for the record, I will love kids no matter what sexuality they feel appeals to them. I have no problem if my son discovered he was gay... my issue is I don't want to don't want to make him be one way or another. I don't want him to be like "My mom forced me to play with dolls and played with my hair. Because of this I'm gay" I just want him to find his own destiny and happiness and don't want him to feel pressured.

It is very normal. I had a nephew play with barbies and dolls as a child. Now, he drives monster trucks for a living and is married. He is also a wonderful, caring father. Stick that up your friends you know what. Get new friends.
