Rds1983 Posted February 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2023 My 5 year old son is best friends with two girls and has been since before joining Reception class about 18 months ago. It's one of the girls birthday parties today and it's 'girls only' and every girl in the class had been invited. However he hasn't been despite being one of the best friends purely because he's a boy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on BBC News they talked about Zelensky stopping for a selfie with Sunak when they were just stood next to each other having their photo taken. He wasn't there phone in hand looking into it. They were just posing for a photo. It drives ya barmy Tom. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a way to try and keep costs down instead if inviting the full class which I can understand. However they could have made an exception. My worry is this becomes a trend with single sex parties. He's a fairly quiet kid and more into doing quiet/imaginative/art play then running around like a loon and as such whilst he's friends with other boys he's not best friends with any of them. He's only young though and suspect a lot will change in the next few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's already chat among the Mum's that they will. They want to cut costs but several are quite traditional and think genders shouldn't mix. Shame really.

Which tradition is this? Will they be advocating for separate schools? Or are they going for no education for girls.at all? Traditionally pink is the colour for boys and girls wear blue. They flipped only in the last 100 years or so. Tradition is whatever you want it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tradition is whatever you want it to be. Traditional as in old school mentality or parents projecting onto their kids. It seems to come more from the Mum's than the Dad's. It's the same ones who were getting very worked up when the PTA said that they wanted kids to go to the disco in their uniforms (to save time on getting changed). Apparently several 5 year girls were absolutely devastated that they couldn't wear a party dress. I don't agree with it and think it's ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 of them are inseparable. At all of their bday parties, they only invite each other and no-one else and have sleepovers. I don’t have the heart to tell him that in a couple of years, he won’t be invited to these sleepovers anymore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 It's not possible to see the down votes on YouTube videos but the up votes are visible, I don't understand.

It was removed last year, ostensibly to counter downvoting brigades from trolls, but IMO it's fairly likely to mitigate it upsetting their big corporate customers when their content was demonstrably unpopular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is annoying but you have to accept that for the young and the poverty-stricken its all about fantasy and not about status. Anyone who visited the Eastern bloc countries few years ago will have seen some outrageous monstrosities of modded Ladas with blowing exhausts and planks of wood as spoilers. Boomers will remember the "go-faster" tape which was fashionable in the 1960s, which looked great on a rusty A35.

If you downvote something then you're less likely to get similar videos recommended to you. So how many people have done so isn't really relevant for that purpose. Of course you could say the same about likes, but I guess as it's seen as positive it doesn't matter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
