It would seem that the OP's Mrs is perhaps being overly influential because she wanted a girl or finds the whole thing hilarious. Either way no lasting damage is likely to occur but the OP's feelings should be taken into account also as they are both parenting this child.
And the child's feelings?Well I think you have to differentiate where sisters are involved. I can see why that would be a more common thing to do because dresses and girly behaviour will be in a little brothers view most of the time, so naturally they'll consider it more of a normality.
But we are talking about a boy with no sisters, and a mother who sees no issue with him having/wearing dresses where I as his father do.
I've also already mentioned that he has various outfits, this was him at the Dentist yesterday and i'm cool with this, a much better look

Sorry if I've missed the bit about you confronting the wife about the princess dresses but how did it go? This issue resolved yet and the dresses donated to charity?
If only. I did mention (off the back of this tread) that her nail varnish could be toxic to our young son, her reply? 'Nonsense'. I could go forth and prove it beyond any reasonable doubt, but her response would be same Sorry if I've missed the bit about you confronting the wife about the princess dresses but how did it go?

Ah yes, Batman. Good role model for a growing chap. Batman is a confirmed bachelor, living with an old man who takes care of his every need and whose best friend is a young boy.
Nothing remotely non-hetro or non-masculine about that. I can see why you'd be relieved.
Let us not st about.Nothing remotely non-hetro or non-masculine about that. I can see why you'd be relieved.

Also, a question to those people who are generally uncomfortable with it.
Just say, hypothetically, that you had a son who you had raised as a boy, tried to make play football, bought masculine clothes for and killed stuff with who was increasingly camp and indifferent to your mens things until it became completely apparent that they were 100% bender.
At that point would you accept it and let them be gay as a youngster, would you keep trying to fight it and hope it would go away, or something half way in between i.e. "This is MY house and MY rules. Do what you want when you leave home but until then you will not pick flowers, wear tutus, read Heat magazine or watch Strictly COme Dancing"
(I assume that's all gay people do but not completely sure)
Well?
Sounds familiar...Just say, hypothetically, that you had a son who you had raised as a boy, tried to make play football, bought masculine clothes for and killed stuff with who was increasingly camp and indifferent to your mens things until it became completely apparent that they were 100% bender.
