If it's just "a freaking toy," as you say, buy it for him, you cheap ****.

ROFL

My son is learning right, at least. He was just playing in his kitchen and told my wife it was dirty and she needed to come clean it for him. ROFL

Tell him to make sure to get a Barbie to go with it as well if he goes that route.

Didn't read all the posts but what if it were a toy BBQ Grill or smoker?

You know something manly?

Yes, but we bring them into the world...and usually rear them still.

Huh huh you said 'rear'/butthead

NO !!!

No doubt. Look at the women who provided the day-to-day support behind many artists and you'll understand why those selfish pricks were able to focus so intensely on their art.

ya I wanna get my nephew something cool, but he's only 18 months so I'll have to wait a few more years before I can really spoil him!

you may not have brought me into this world, but I'll let you take care of me while I shelfishly work on my art, hell I may even let you rear me.....

Hey oh!!!

...you make good point.

when I was a kid I never wanted a play kitchen, ninja turtles was all I wanted!!

Maybe the uncle recognizes that the kid's future is in fast food, and he just doesn't want to tell the parents.

maybe opening up a chain of McDowell's. They have the Big Mac, we have the Big Mic...they use seeded buns, see our buns have no seeds. :)

No, it's not gay. Boys should learn to cook so they are not dependent on any woman to feed them. Not to mention that most of the greatest chefs in the world are men...

and women love a man who can cook. MOF, most of the women I know cook less than their husbands/boyfriends. It's a different day than June Cleaver. It has nothing to do with gender roles or sexuality. It has to do with raising your kid to be self sufficient.

I think we established that a plastic kitchen isn't going to teach your kid how to cook. Staying in the kitchen with mommy or daddy will however.

I think I'd rather get him a small Weber Kettle and a can of charcoal lighter.

No, but it gets them interested in the idea much sooner than they are physically or emotionally able to cook.

If you have ever been near toddlers in a day care you will see the boys play with the kitchens as much, if not more, than the girls do.

I really don't see the problem. We don't live in the 50's any longer.

I do.

Shut up and cook me a pie, bitch!

So you're saying... you'd buy your son a kitchen set?

I don't either...as long as it's not pink.

Just keep the blue aprin on him and the pink aprin away from him

No. I'd make him play with his sister's kitchen set.

Yes

Assuming you only had a son smartass.
I said I wouldn't mind him playing with one but I wouldn't buy it for him for Xmas with the "It's all yours" label.

heh..this reminds me of a few months ago at the bar.. while getting more drinks some girls were having a conversation and all of a sudden one of them yells out "I'M AN EMOTIONALIST!!!!"

:eek:

It's ok to let your son play with a cooking set, but to buy him his own would be ghey. But, if he has passed over Star Wars and video games and is asking for a cooking set on his own, then probably is ghey and you should support your son and buy him the cooking. If you really love him you get the matching apron also.

Just like someone kept the dictionary away from you?

;)

I still say get him a pit bull. :thumb:

There isn't much around the house I can't do, and in my garage with the thousands of dollars of rarely used power tools you will find a hot glue gun and sewing kit for emergency repairs or to sew the latest Cub Scout patches on for my son. My wife stays home so she does most of the regular cooking, (same 20 menu items that all the kids eat with no fuss), but I cook also and usually make the good stuff that takes longer. Last night was beer battered coconut shrimp. At least once a week homemade chocolate chip pancakes. For Thanksgiving I made 3 dozen home-made rolls. I don't think it is ghey for a man to cook, sew, or any assortment of other things that have a desirable result and I let my kids help. I don't think doing those things are ghey, but if I started stacking sewing magazines in the bathroom, or started buying thousands of dollars of fancy cooking pans, that would be pretty ghey.

Does Cooking Make You Gay?
Posted by Adam Roberts, January 30, 2007 at 6:30 AM

Easy-Bake Ovens are not traditionally marketed to boys. The commercials (see below) are festive and feminine, with girls grinning ear to ear as they bake mini pizzas and cupcakes with a high-powered light bulb. The colors on the box are pink, the spokesperson’s voice is female. A little boy watching a commercial for an Easy-Bake Oven should roll his eyes or make a fart noise with his mouth to assert his masculinity. Unless that little boy leans closer to the screen, scratches his head and wonders how he can tell his mother or father that he doesn’t want a bicycle for Hanukkah or a Light Bright. He wants an Easy-Bake Oven so he can learn to cook.

The jig is up. wutamess was just scouting for 'the view'

Good god, with one exception how badly do the rest of these women want to emasculate their little boys?

I think I will go out and buy my son a toy gun today.

If I saw him playing with one exclusively over at friends and it was apparent that he enjoyed it immensely, sure. Why not?

I've bought my 14 YO daughter a skateboard and I'm pretty sure she's not a lesbian.

We bought one off Craigs list for our two kids and they love it.

I hate it, as it came with shitloads of fake food and dishes that get strung out all over the house.

It is good for pretending, there is nothing gay about it. In fact, wutamess may end up having a gay kid, regardless since he is worrying about it.

as long as its not flaming pink (the kind that screams 80's hot pink) then no worries, just pretend its a tool set thats missing tools and was replaced by pots, a spatula, and a pastry blender ;)

If he was/is gay... He's Gay. Like the woman in the skit. I wouldn't love him any less and i would support his decision.

I said the ACT was gay (in a jokingly manner) not the child.

Imagine we're talking over a few beers and you tell me "you're buying your son a kitchen set for XMas". That'd be funny as hell to me.

We'll agree to disagree.

What if he wanted to start chopping off his body parts and taking hormones like Ultra Nutless? Would you support that?

If he wanted to run butt ass naked down Prospect (tough KC street) backwards, I'd support his decision. I can't/won't make up his mind or control him.

I will support EVERY decision he'd make (short of inflicting harm to others) as they're HIS decisions.

WOW, OK.

I don't know why that's so WOWish?
You wouldn't support your son's decision if he was gay?

I may have to accept it but support it, no. I also would not support him using crack or chopping off body parts either. Call me crazy.

Well if he did crack that's on him. I'd support that decision too. I'd try to get him help or whatever but if he liked it I love it. Once he's out of my house he can do as he pleases.

Maybe we're thinking the same and I'm confusing acceptance with support. You're right.

I'd beat the gay out of him. Then I'd buy him 69 virgin hookers.

Who knew these skaliwags were Chiefsplanet fans

Yes, I think it IS my obligation to teach my son to be a man, whether that is me teaching him directly or leading by example.
