When My Son Prefers To Bond With A Girl Cousin
We spent Christmas day at my in-laws house along with husband’s siblings and their families. My kids don’t get to see their cousins often as we all live far apart. So, the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and other milestones are really special for my husband’s family.
One thing I notice about my eldest son when we have all these special gatherings is that he seems to bond and gravitate more towards his cousin, a girl named Bianca, who is about 3 years younger. Bianca is my brother-in-law’s second child. Yesterday, I found them on the floor, on my niece’s flowerland printed rug. They were quietly drawing something together and they were also talking about anime stuff. Later, when I asked my son why he wasn’t playing with the other cousins his age, he told me he couldn’t relate to what they liked. The other boys were, apparently, playing a violent video game on their video handhelds, which wasn’t right up my son’s alley.
Bianca and my son do have a lot more in common. They like the same video games, as well. I’m not too worried about this though, even as a friend commented that my son is too “soft”. He’s actually is a little too nice and too goody goody and I know there’s nothing wrong with that. I think, if anything, it helps him become a lot more gender-sensitive and will hopefully grow up to be a gentleman and treat the ladies right.
