Giving up was the best thing you could do! I know this one, and you cannot win! ))) My son and husband are bonded in such a way that you can not tell them apart, except that my husband is taller. I think that if my husband said eating tree bark was his favorite, my son would run outside and start eating trees!

My son's only wish is to be exactly like his father. For my husband, it was the same when he was our son's age. All is done to impress the man they view as next to God... invincible and immortal.

Even as his father has been gone for several years, my husband says he often asks himself, "What would dad do?" I think that both our sons have good examples to follow. )))

Oh Mikey... You will have to have his Tata explain. 

He has the rare advantage of two mamas.

It will still take a few years for him, but I think it will give him a much deeper understanding to value different personalities who are still bound in the same family.

Now, I explained to him that girls mostly doesn’t like the same things as boys

Better try to explain him that different people do often like different things.

Grandparents and grandgrandparents can be very good for explaining that, too.

They did that, when I couldn't understand what my parents tried to tell me.

> I guess there is something in being like their fathers among the boys. The girls have that too, but not so intense as they boys. I am glad Mikey wants to be like his father for my Prince is excellent model of the man in almost everything. He isn't perfect (who is?) but he is doing his best in everything he does. Mikey will see by the time that I love his father like his mama Ivy.

> I explained that to him but he filtered me through my Ivy. His conclusion was: if you love my tata, you'd do the the way mama Ivy does.

> I will not involve our parents in this yet. He is still very small and he doesn't see the whole picture yet. But if they see that "problem" by themselves, I won't stop them from talking to him.

Each person is an individual being, with all likes and dislikes.

I think I understood that, when they (the big ones) took their time to point me to the differences

Relations are strange. Sometimes, opposites attract, as they say. Other times, people find others who are like thought clones.

My husband and I share some commonality, and have many differences... that we then share with each other, and grow. ) I took him to Odessa opera. He forced me to jump out of an airplane... I mean that he took me to experience the thrill of skydiving. ? We have gone to see several operas since. Jumping out of airplanes, not so much!

> I have read somewhere  awhile ago about the theory that there is a difference between the human character and his nature. Character is changeable, but the nature isn't. According to this theory my Prince and Iyy influence so much on each other that they became very alike. I did also transformed according to his image to some extent, and we shared many similarities until she took him under her "care"
