How would you as a single mother deal with your son?

His father isn't around and he's starting a sport in the summer (practicing now). Anyways, I went through the awkward process of getting him a cup, and now he won't wear it. I think it's my fault, 'cause we were play fighting once and he kicked me 'there', and he doesn't know the difference yet, so he thinks he's the same.



So, how would you convince him? or should I just let him be, he's young maybe his coach will get to him.How would you as a single mother deal with your son?
Honestly, the cup is uncomfortable for them until they get used to it. My son, didn't want to wear his cup. Yes, mom and dad are together and MOM did the cup shopping alone and jsut gave it to him to wear.



He gave me issues about at first. I basically, just told him he wants to play then he wears it. Since he already signed up and committed to the sport he had to finish the season. So, he had to wear the cup. I told him afte rthe season is over and you don't want to sign up again then you don't have to. When time came around and he wanted to sign up agian. I reminded him that he had to wear the cup and last year he didn't like it. And asked him if he was sure he wanted to sign up agian because I was not going to fight him about wearing his uniform which the cup is a part of.



If he thinks it's the same then it's time to let him know it isn't and that is why he wears the cup so he won't get hurt. Simply tell him in an age appropriate way. Boys and girls are different and when boys get hit there it hurts really bad. For girls it doesn't hurt as bad.



Without Dad around then you will have to play the ';Dad'; role as well.

Good Luck.How would you as a single mother deal with your son?
Have the coach talk to him.
I would ask his coach or a close male family member to bring the subject up. His coach is probably the ideal person, since he can explain all the reasons why the cup is needed. And it may be mandatory in his sport. Just try to keep the conversation as comfortable as possible and on his maturity level.
Tell him that if he doesn't wear the cup he'll lose his nuts. He'll understand.
i say try one of your close guy friends or a boyfriend or cousin or something talk to him my son is 3 yrs old so i dont want to go through the same awkwardness but try to talk to the coach too hell probably help u out alot
Talk to the coach ahead of time and let him know your situation - I'm sure you're not the only mom who's had this same issue.
It's tough to talk about 'boy' things from a boys perspective to his mother. It just depends. I have an 19 year old that we RARELY talked openly about anything let alone peepee protectors. Then again, my 17 year old son and I can discuss ANYTHING. So every boy is different.

Discuss this with his coach (If my assumption of the coach as being male is correct), because coming from a males point of view will make a world of difference.

Hope this helps :)
Straight up: ';All the boys wear one it's part of the uniform. All sports have safety equipment, if you don't wear it you don't play. ';



Keep it simple.
