[blparent] boy or girl?

Mon Sep 27 16:09:45 UTC 2010

Sounds exactly like my niece, she is a tom boy, likes the boy toys at McD's
and likes stuffed animals, but not dolls. V

One of my son's favorite toys is this little talking doll.  It used to be my
daughter's and she outgrew it.  Now, he carries her everywhere, puts her in
the stroller, and puts her down for naps, etc.  The funny thing is, while my
daughter likes stuffed animals and barbies and things like that, she never
ever liked baby dolls.  Says she isn't fond of babies, they cry, eat, sleep
and poop.  Lol, her words not mine.  Jaden, my son, is much more sensitive
and nurturing.  It's hard to say if these characteristics will hold up over
time, but I truly believe in letting each child be an individual.  There are
just more important things in life than worrying about what color my kid
likes or what he/she plays with, etc.  Just my thoughts.  Take care.

Joy and family

My husband and I were listening to the show tunes channel while we made
breakfast. Then he started about redecorating at which point I went over
to the radio and put on some death metal. Only so much a girl can take,
you know.:)

My husband likes purple... :-) I good-naturedly tease him, but honestly
it doesn't bug me. I was a little shocked when I found out, but come on.
:-) I figure, it's just a color, or toy or whatever the case may be.

Corban my son has a kitchen set... a shopping cart... play food, and he
loves them! ...
He'd be 2 next month.
He cooks at his little kitchen, when I cook meals... he pretends to shop
and
uses his cash register, to  check his food out... and says...
"MOMMY MONEY PLEASE!"
So, yes, its appropriate.
Society drivin people annoy me... they judge little children, and my son
likes purple, and many say he'll be Gay.
So, good job!...

V, I think your gift was acceptable. This is just my opinion, but our 
culture tries to overly categorize toys or activities for children and
even 
adults. It's ok for boys to play with dolls and girls to play with
trucks 
and cars.
