My 8 year-old white, catholic son wants to change his name to Shani'qua...?

Question

I'm debating on whether or not I should let him though. What do you think?

He's also been walking around in my stiletto heels alot lately and I constantly hear Prince booming from the speakers in his room.

My husband says it's just a phase all boys go through, but I'm not sure. Could this have anything to do with me being a prostitute?

Answer 1

No, it's far more commonly associated with internet trolls.

Answer 2

oh for god's sake!

Answer 3

You're the parent, you're suppose to be a role model for your kids...

and thanks

Answer 4

Oh jeez.... Thanks for the 2 points!!!

Answer 5

Hasn't school started yet???  Thanks for the 2 pts.

Answer 6

totally do it and then recruit him for the family business.... i assume your husband is your pimp.

Answer 7

Not another troll!!

Answer 8

Just ridiculous. Your child is imitating you and you are more or less encouraging it with prostitution. I should report you to Child Services, which I will!

Answer 9

-let him change his name, he's old enough to know what he wants to be called

-buy him his own pair of stilettos in his size so he won't trip

-buy him a set of headphones.

Answer 10

only you can change his name legally i would suggest that you but him his own heels wouldn't want him to fall and hurt his self

Answer 11

kids emulate their parents...he is trying to be you ..if you dont like this then you must change your profession - as far as his name tell him he can change it when he is 18 to whatever he wants...kids go thru phases I know boys who wore mom's shoes and nail polish and are not homosexuals...just in touch with their feminine side.

You need to evaluate as to what kind of home your son is living in  are you a bad role model( do you work out of your home ? and he sees this ?....Bad parenting comes in many forms....I will not judge you  please look in the mirror and tell me what you see as a role model for your son.

Have Your husband take  his son out for some play- join a baseball league or soccer and play with kids his own age..maybe your son has seen too much and cant process this because of his youth.

You and your husband are the role models ..if you are having problems parenting then go into family counseling/parenting classes.

Good Luck

Do not encourage this behavior
