My 5yo boy loves playing with dolls and makeup and my husband is against it. How do I get him to understand the soft side of my boy? They are not getting along because of this.

the only way to make your husband understand is by talking to him and explaining that everyone has different feelings and a different way of expressing their emotions. if your boy is not interested in the typical boy toys but likes dolls and makeup, it is just his way of appreciating beauty and aesthetics. if your husband tries to force him to hide his feelings, it can later come out in negative ways and your son can become depressed or even aggressive. do talk to him.
