Boys and Girls? Posted: 02-09-08 15:47pm
Ok, i just bought william a pushchair as
he always wants to push his big one and
it's getting abit dangerous. Bobby doesn't
like the idea, saying that boys shouldn't
have pushchairs.
so what our your thoughts? should boys not
be allowed to play with dolls and
pushchairs? should girls not be allowed to
play with cars?
same thing with pink and blue...should
boys not be allowed to wear pink and
should girls not be allowed to wear blue.
i'd like your opinions.
i think its stupid. william loves his
pushchair and i'm not going to let this
get in the way of his fun

I really think it doesn't matter. As long
as he's having fun... Toys should not have
a certain gender. Neither should a color.
What ever a kid likes should be what they
get... dividing colors and toy by gender
is just stupid...

yeah, I don't see a problem with it. When
I was younger (6/7) and my brother was 1/2
he LOVED my barbies... There would ALWAYS
be like 6 in his room when i'd go visit my
dad. My little brother loved his cars and
things too.. Now he hates ANYTHING girly
but then again he's turning 12 this year
lol
And, when my sister was 1 my brother was
3/4 he would play with her kitchen and
stuff and my old kitchen and dolls at my
grandparents house..

it's all role play anyway and they need
that kind of play to learn. once the baby
is here, i want to get him a little doll.
mummy has a baby so has william, so he
doesnt get jealous

yes it is. If Alex wants a doll when he's
older ok...that's a great idea, I've never
heard of someone doing that before..

I think its perfectly fine!
They are just pretending and exploring
their world.
Theres no point in pushing being gender
specific at such a young age.They wil most
probably grow out of it at any rate,and
find there own niche.
Its just part of play,I think.

I bought Liam a doll for christmas and we
take it almost everywhere, he carries it
around stores and shows people. He plays
with Macys strollers but not often because
he runs me over.
Get him a shopping cart instead of a
stroller if bobby ahs that big of an issue

it's not a big issue. i was just wondering
if anyone else felt the same way and why
it's a problem
i know myself that its only pretend play
and they need that kind of play
