I haven't been on here for ages as have been extremely tired and busy with twin baby boys!!! But had some great advice last time so here goes!!
My daughter, who used to be the girliest princess I knew, has turned into the worlds biggest tomboy! I think a lot of this is to do with the arrival of her twin brothers 7 months ago. At first she was bitterly disappointed that the babies were both boys but she came round and to be honest has been really great through the past 7 months.
Anyway most of the time I don't mind the tomboyish behaviour. Why shouldn't a girl be active, trousers are often far more practical etc.
But I am having the boys christened this weekend and my daughter refuses point blank to wear a dress or even what I would class as "feminine" trousers. She is insisting that she is going to wear her Ben 10 Tshirt and jeans (both from the boys section I hasten to add).
It all erupted into a huge argument during which she said that I never make her brothers wear "stupid girls clothes" so why should she!!
What do I do?

Would you allow your daughter to attend her brothers' christening dressed like a boy?
