Best Mom Ever!

As a guy who was raised by two gay dudes and is straight I can say not wanting your ex to put nail polish on your son's is in no way homophobic.

Don't say anything to her. Buy clothes for them to wear at your house in lieu of the worlds best mom shit. Remove the nail polish when they get to your house and simply say something like, let's get that off of you, boys don't wear nail polish. Don't engage with her, attention is the coin of the realm for woman, don't feed her and she'll get bored.

It's insane how they wouldn't rather just move on with their lives right? You life rent free in her head apparently and she's trying to pay rent with energy and time scheming to be in yours

Give them the option to change clothes and remove nail polish if they want to, but don’t push it. Apart from that, don’t worry about it. Just let her keep building her own gallows, as far as her relationship with the boys goes once they hit their adolescent years.

My ex is a lesbian. Our youngest son comes home almost every week with a pride T shirt on. Rainbow T shirts. Rainbow decorations and Pride flags as decorations to his croc’s. She shaved under his hair and left him with a long flop over of bangs like Bieber. That hair she died a rainbow.

So yeah I deal with this shit constantly.

Yeah their mother is not a good influence on them. Why the hell is she painting nail polish on your young sons. Children get influenced at that age and pick up things and if they do the same shit after 15 years you would regret it. Get her to stop this asap. Your children are not gay so you are not homophonic. You’re wife’s mental

If these are kids under 3 or 4 (which I'm guessing they are) then let her know that you don't appreciate her poisoning the kids with paint since whenever your around them. They sit their and eat it. Which of course you tell them no. But 1 or 2 year olds don't exactly listen.

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to have your boys get gayed up by their passive aggressive mom. In a sane society, she would be prosecuted for child abuse for pushing that on your boys, unfortunately we live in a globohomo society and your ex knows the institutions are behind her. I wouldn't complain to her, it will only reinforce her behavior, but I would instill a sense of agency in your boys. Sorry to hear they're being used by your sick ex.

Let the boys determine their gender orientation and tell the #@&^% to knock it off.

There's nothing wrong with your ex painting their nails. I know plenty of perfectly straight dudes that do it.

It's just a form of personal expression and were it me - I wouldn't even react to it other than to say 'cool.'

When I was 16 I wanted to get a rise out of my dad so I got my ear pierced. He said 'cool' and I was literally, actually completely disappointed that I didn't get a rise out of him and I took it out that day.

Seriously. It was completely conscious. I knew what I was doing. Your kids may know, your ex-wife may know.

If it does get a rise out of you it's giving them control over your head. Stop it.

Don't react. Don't play into it. Win.
