OK so this debate has become increasingly heated and I need mumsnetters to settle it! I want to get this personalised picture book I have seen for our son’s birthday in July - he is turning 3 - about football/friendship and you can choose kit colour for the main character (and their hair, name etc - it’s meant to be him in the story).
So here’s the (lighthearted) marriage breaking decision - I wanted to choose a blue kit as this is my son’s favourite colour, my husband insists I should choose black and white stripes for Newcastle (his team). I get that my son will likely support Newcastle one day but right now he is little and he loves blue (and maybe I secretly think the storybook will look prettier with blue!).
Anyway please vote, I’ll take the mumsnet decision as binding!
YABU - Pick Newcastle stripes, it’s a story about football, bonding with his dad, etc
YANBU - pick blue as your son will love it, you prefer it (and this is your present idea!)
I could probably grab screenshots of what the character looks like in each colour if helpful
