Do you think they were right to ban him?

I think high heels are totally unsuitable for a five year old ( why is he not in school BTW) I was 14 before I was allowed for "best" and also unsuitable for play.

100 dresses!!??

It is of course nonsense - he can wear what he likes if it is a non-uniform establishment. I doubt the other children are remotely interested.

I cannot understand why a catholic organisation (whose elders wear frocks) can complain about this.

I admire his parents for being casual about it - but not for supplying him with 100 dresses!!!!

I don"t it a good idea for him to wear dresses in public, would maybe lay him open to teasing from the other children.

As well all know children CAN be quite cruel,

IMO

I suspect there are lots of little boys who like to dress up in sparkly outfits along with their sisters, well done to his mum for not telling him he couldn't wear them out of the house.

I've seen mothers not allowing their sons to play with dolls.

Of course they were wrong to ban him.

He has how many dresses? 100 ??!! shock That's more than I've had in my lifetime!

No, they are not right to ban him. There's no reason why he shouldn't dress up if he wants to and, as you say, it doesn't do anyone any harm. The term "daft buggers" has sprung into my mind unbidden.

why would they?

I appreciate it's quite unusual (!) but he wasn't doing any harm to anyone. confused
