I also remember defending the one who is now a college athlete, over 200 lbs., over 6ft. with size 16 shoes and his gender neutral name when his grandmother tried to take him out of his favorite shirt, which happened to be pink.<br /><br />I'm so glad to hear of a conscious mother and father raising boys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13846568.post-65293728352346740282007-01-11T20:52:00.000-06:002007-01-11T20:52:00.000-06:00I have some photos of my son and daughter BOTH wea...I have some photos of my son and daughter BOTH wearing frilly princess pajamas.

I don't think that says anything about our sexual orientation... or anything other than we sometimes got along and played together. I think that's what most parents hope for.<br /><br />I have some great photos of K in a tutu.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979925607834752536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13846568.post-45556241460767498492007-01-10T20:51:00.000-06:002007-01-10T20:51:00.000-06:00Right on, Jennifer.

My mom was pretty gender neutral with me and my brothers as well and I often picked "boy" stuff to play with,no big whoop!Kristi @ Mi Vida Ocupadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033353912749619320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13846568.post-46088067835405971562007-01-10T13:14:00.000-06:002007-01-10T13:14:00.000-06:00Heh.

Honestly, some people.<br /><br />I like those shoes, though the big flower on the toe would have put me off, even speaking as a woman...I wouldn't buy those! LOL! <br /><br />The gender thing I think is a harder hurdle with girls...I have gender neutral toys (hello bock pot boy!) and all three play with them, but Her Royal Highness playing with the trucks is rare. She will gravitate toward the neutral, like the farm, castle and pirate ship but she really leans hard on the Barbies and My Little Pony. I don't mind this, but I find it colors my thoughts...when she asks me about science type questions it usually surprises me. I don't think I give her enough credit sometimes...hope I'm not unintentionally keeping her from knowing things I'd automatically expect from her brothers.
