how should i handle this

Ds loves ticky toc and some other kid shows.
welll his cousin (they are 6 months apart) told him he watches baby shows.
Well when it came one tonight. I could tell ds wanted to watch it. but he shut it off and told me he was a big boy.
and he couldnt watch baby shows anymore.
It kind of made me sad because i could tell he really wanted to watch it and kept having me reafirm he was a big boy. he doesnt watch much tv but he does have a few shows that he does like and now he wont watch them because he now thinks they are for babies.
idk i feel like my Nephew heard it from someone else.
We bring him to school sometimes since they go to the same school. and he keeps telling ds he is a baby because he is still in a carseat. (nephew is in a booster) I hate having to reasurre my 3 year old that its ok. and he keeps fighting the carseat. and im not sure how to handle it. Idk if i should say something to his mom. or let it go.
thoughts?

i would have told him thats not a baby show and just made him feel better about watching it. or just told him watching it didnt mean anything and that he would still be a big boy

Awww   This made me sad for him. I think I would say something to his mom. Nothing mean or anything just ask her if she can talk to him and maybe tell him it's not nice to call him a baby because it might hurt his feelings.

talk to his mom... like the second comment said.. especially about the car seat thing. since you dont want him fighting you on it just because her son said it made him a baby.
as for the show
i would have sat down and watched it with him.. then asked him if you were a baby hed say no. and you say well i like this show and im not a baby so you can watch it too. (or something like that)

I would watch the show with him, and tell him you like it too. And are you even supposed to have a 3 year old in a booster seat?

Im pretty sure the law is 4 but im not sure. but i dont put my two cents in with that because they dont want to hear it. we did extended rear facing and all she kept asking dh was when we were going to put ds in a regular car seat. and they tried to do the same with the booster seat thing but i refuse nd they realize they dont want to get into that battle with me i think

Thanks for the advice ladies. tomorrow i will watch it with him. i didnt tonight because i record his shows and most of the time only flip them on when i have to cook or get something done. and was crazy busy tonight

see we dont have the greatest relationship. so i tend to just keep my mouth shut to keep the peace. but ugh its really bugging me.i feel like the stuff he is saying came from her

well dont be blunt.. ask a few questions.. or can you talk to your nephews dad instead of his mom.. maybe say hey can you guys tell him to stop saying this stuff to DS. what you guys do works for you but when it effects DS its causeing problems.. being his mom you have the right to choose what he watches and what car seat he has.. not them.

that or just explain that your nephews opinion is his and your are yours.. that he just needs to ignore him and listen to you.. tell him hes not a a baby and doing certain things wont make him one either.

I would just explain to him that babies wear diapers, suck bottles and sleep in a crib... I dont know if its worth bringing to the other mom. It's definetly a normal kid thing.
