My counsel would be, take that as a win.6ft3Aussie wrote: ↑Mon Jan 12, 2026 12:04 pm This evening I'm wearing a long sarong and he sat down with mum and looked at me and said "skirt", so he sees me and knows what I'm wearing so at least it won't be a completely foreign concept for him moving forward.
Your wife is happy for you to wear a skirt around your son, mine wasn't!
I have no idea what may have happened if I hadn't complied, but it was a bad time for me, her and the kids.
Well, he's 37 now, and relaxed around his skirted old man, my divorce is proceeding nicely too.
Good luck, in the fullness of time our kids make up their own minds and all you can do is the best you can, no more!

PS My daughter is 33 and while it's improving, she is less than happy with my fashion choices, that is still a work in progress.
