Our youngest son (preschooler) is an emotional child. Is really into dolls and traditionally "girlie" stuff.
H has talked in the past about wanting to harden him up before he gets older. So he does not get bullied at school.
The other day we talked about it and I made a comment about how I thought he might be gay as an adult. I had thought it before and it was made probably coming across as slightly lightheartedly, because to me it really is like saying someone has brown hair, or blue eyes. Like an observation if you like.
H is really angry at me. Really dressed me down saying what was wrong with me, and I should never say that about a man's son, and if I had said it about someone else's son they would have knocked me out.
He said it was akin to how I would feel if someone called my daughter a slvt.
I have apologized for upsetting him. I think I kinda get where he is coming from but I think he is going way over the top.
Was I wrong to say that?
