When she told me she had a girlfriend! Didn't think much of it before then because either was ok with us. You seem to be caught up in stereotypes. Let your kid live. If you're getting a strong vibe that he "doesn't like spending any time around his older brothers or cousins", I'd check that out - does he just not enjoy it and therefore avoids them OK, but maybe awkward in the family dynamicor is there any chance that they may have hurt him in some way?

He is who he is - a child. He likes what he likes.
