This couple are raising 'genderless' babies Hmm

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1389593/Kathy-Witterick-David-Stocker-raising-genderless-baby.html

(Yes, yes, I know, it is the Daily Mail) Wink

They let their children decide if they want to be a boy or a girl and they won't tell anyone if their new baby is a boy or a girl as the baby will decide when he/she is older Hmm

I can't help thinking 'idiots' when I read this...

I have no problem with my boy playing with girl stuff or even wearing girl stuff if he wants to but c'mon, this couple are taking it a bit far in their quest to be 'oh so right on...'

Hmm

I award them a Biscuit

I've not read the article yet - just about to. But I remember a couple in Scandinavia (I think) doing this.
It seems a bit cruel to me - to use the DCs in a sort of social experiment. But I'm prepared to be shown otherwise.

I don't see why it can't be an AIBU Confused

'Would I BU to bring my DC up genderless' ....would that be better?

If you want to discuss this story, why don't you use the forums on the Daily Mail website?

InTheNightKitchen, you probably should contact MNHQ directly and tell them why they shouldn't be running a forum when there's a perfectly good one on the Daily Mail. They'll be happy to laugh themselves sick listen

I tell people where to go all the time and no-one ever listens.

vmcd28 · 25/05/2011 15:15

i've read three threads in the past 24 hrs where someone said that the thread was in the wrong place. I mean, wtf?

hairfullofsnakes · 25/05/2011 15:16

Sad so sad that you feel the need to do that kitchen - but quite funny too...

Hullygully · 25/05/2011 15:17

what's going on ere then?

SockShitter · 25/05/2011 15:31

Actually I think this is a perfect thread. The op makes a very decisive "AIBU that these guys are obnoxious twunts... "

This is how aibu should be, not" AIBU to be ever so slighly perturbed by this mum I saw smoking weed and blowing it in to her pregnant 11 year old dd's face? "

SockShitter · 25/05/2011 15:33

By the way OP, you are not being unreasonable and the parents are being jack asses

FunnysInTheGarden · 25/05/2011 15:34

ITNK are you having a giraffe?

exoticfruits · 25/05/2011 15:35

There is already a huge thread on this here

LadyOfTheManor · 25/05/2011 15:38

ITNK did it go something like this?

Dear MNHQ,
I feel that your forum is a waste of space as The Daily Fail has one operating.
From ITNK

Dear ITNK,
Do fuck off,

MNHQ

Aibu to have laughed heartily at ITNK?

listeningstick · 25/05/2011 23:40

The child must be taken away from them and they should both be sterilised.

PaisleyLeaf · 26/05/2011 13:46

(One of the weirdest threads I've ever been on).

ITNK, there are some posts in Style and Beauty you might want to check out, that are neither stylish or beautiful.

oh listeningstick you are such a wag
