AIBU to have bought my DD a dinosaur?

[KnockMeDown]

Took DD, 3, to Peppa Pig World today. OMG the queues!!!!! [whole other thread...]

Anyway, whilst in the gift shop, I was looking at all the Ty soft toys, which included Peppa and George's own cuddly toys of choice, when I overheard a mum tell her DD "You can't have a dinosaur, you are a girl"!!

WIBU to give her a face, and say loudly "look, DD at these lovely dinosaurs", to which she said promptly said "Mummy I want one", and I said "yes, of course you can"

Disclaimer: we were planning to buy a souvenir, I don't in general buy her whatever she says she wants!

Why would buying a child a dinosaur be unreasonable ?

? Don't understand the question

You must know YWNBU.

Had it been a REAL dinosaur I'd have said you might have been a bit U. However a cuddly toy one is a lot less risky, so no YANBU.

What do you want? A medal?

YANBU.

The other mum is a tit for not letting her kid have a dinosaur based on her gender.

Good for you.

Why did you loudly say it? The other poor kid just got told no and you basically rub her face in the fact your dd can have one just because you disagree with her Mums reasoning.

The other mum was being ridiculous.

YWNBU.

Fakebook:

Fakebook A medal would be ok. A light hearted exchange would be better....

YWNBU. Other parent was. But I can't help but feel bad about the poor wee girl who wasn't allowed a dinosaur.

Dine-saw. RRRRR.

I MADE my DS a Mr Dinosaur...

«smug»

and yes I do understand that that isn't the point of the thread, but I am very proud of my efforts!

my ds1 favourite toy was an inline skating barbie (although there were tears upon discovering it didn't actually skate as shown in the adverts)

Dinsosaurs are bisexual they are for everyone

errrrrr, I think I may mean unisex, sorry!

I did the same in the paaaaaaand shop the other week. DD was looking at those god awful toy guns that make a horrible clacking noise when you pull the trigger. An older boy shoved her out the way and said "girls don't have guns" So of course I said "come on DD, grab that gun you want, we'll go and pay for it"

Regretted it as soon as she started playing with it, bloody thing is noisy

lol at the bisexual dinosaurs!

OP, I feel sad for the other child, but I doubt you made her mum change her mind.

YANBU, as long as it was a pink one

Dinsosaurs are bisexual they are for everyone

Erm...no thanks!!

"Dinsosaurs are bisexual they are for everyone"

Fucking EPIC typo/autocorrect/whatever.

the other mum is an idiot.

I am the proud owner of a small girl who adores dinosaurs, reads about them,.plays with them and wants to be a paleontologists when she grows up. dinosaurs are definitely for girls!

I was planning to knit my 2 DDs dinosaurs for Xmas gifts. Should I reconsider? Will I cause lifelong damage? Maybe if I knit them in pink?

Our garden is full of foot-long digger/ cement trucks / tipper trucks.

They're going to grow penises aren't they?

Yabu. Your dd will catch "boy" and want to do awful things like climb trees, run round bashing everything and other such uncivilised boyish activities. She may even refuse to wear a skirt. No good will come of this I warn you.

Can't stop laughing at the bisexual Dinosaurs

You know you are not being unreasonable.
But then you are talking to the woman who bought her daughter blue crocodile pjs.

YANBU! I bought my DD a dinosaur yesterday. She loves it. DS got one too. Why would I exclude her?
