Gun play

[theatokos]

This is a post for all those born male and for mothers of males.

If you are a male, did you play with guns? Did you turn non-gun items into imaginary guns? Do you think this is something innate in males? If not, where did you learn this behaviour from? As an adult male now do you have any parenting perspectives on this, or advice for the new mama of a male?

For mothers of males, do your sons play with guns or have gun play? If so, at what age did this start? Does this bother you? If so, how do you discourage this? Any thoughts for a new mama?

I love you, Sis, and I'm sorry for being such a nasty bully. I think I needed to be channeled better, especially when I was really young. I had a lot of energy! I hope to be more aware of this if B takes after me in this regard. I also think your real-ish vs pretend guns is a good idea.
