I agree with Sue. Apart from what seems the norm, I wish my daughter were a little more girlie. Pretty clothes and hair doodads would be nice for a change over Chucks and pants with chains on them (she's now a teen).

It's sickening what lengths people will go to to accuse and punish other people. Three of our kids are still in "night time" pull-ups and I WISH there were unisex ones available, because invariably we run out of one kind and just use a girl one for a boy or vice-versa.

I agree, Jeanne, it should work both ways. Recently I posted to a private message board about how I was taking my daughters to the Am. Girl Doll store and almost every response from each poster went on and on about how THEIR daughters hated those dolls and how proud they were that their daughters were able to have a mind of their own (the implication being....)

It truly was just a post about why I would be out of touch for a couple days, I never asked for anyone's opinion about how they felt about my daughters' toys. It was really strange. For some reason it is uber-cool for girls to love dirt, mud and boy's toys, but not for boys to like anything considered girlie.
