To put my baby in a red coat when...

[missknows]

She has a purple pram?

Because a random old lady who wanted to look in the pram and see the baby (as they do) told me off for exactly that! Are the fashion police going to arrest me? Will my daughter be scarred for life?

P.s obviously this is a light-hearted thread but the lady was genuinely disgusted in me and made a point of telling me so. Thought she was going to phone childline on my baby's behalf.

How could you do such a thing? You'll have to buy a new pram tomorrow...

YABVVVVU!!!
Or not. Old women are weird
The other day when I told my mum I don't go out my way to match DDs clothes I just take out whatever's at the top of the drawer she called me cruel she very nearly fainted when I said I don't iron her clothes either unless they're very creased. She's 1 FFS!

I quite like red and purple together.

I've seen bright orange prams containing pink-clad infants.

I have wondered how widespread colour blindness really is.

Ooo I don't iron either. I'm going to hell aren't I?

Social services have been informed.

You don't have co ordinating prams and outfits? I'm calling child line myself.

YABVVVU

Why not start em young?

I love red and purple together!

Also a fan of red and purple.

All old people. All of them. Thing that my dd is a boy. Sometimes I make a massive point of dressing her in head to toe pink and she still gets mistaken for a boy.

I hope you're saving up for the years of therapy your daughter will need as a result of your shoddy actions. Shame on you!

Purple and red - lovely.

How about this though - i've bought a lipstick red travel system, but just realised my only favorite mac is the exact same colour.

too much red

WTF is wrong with you?

Purple and red? Like a bruise? On a baby?

Nice.

what's ironing?

Ouryve that's brilliant. I might print a copy in case I ever meet her again!

Eek. My purple pram has red trimmings. I had no idea it was a faux pas!

Passmethecrisps - are you parting her hair on the boys side?

I had an awful mamas n papas car seat when DS was newborn, it kind of scrunched him up. When out with my MIL she used to say loudly to everyone who looked at him 'He's not disabled it's the seat'! Only the over 70s can do un-pc like that.

Perfectly reasonable.

Red and pink on the other hand...

I think her failing is a lack of her. My fault obvs.

She does have a cardie with car buttons on. And apparently it buttons down the boy side

Awful! Just plain awful!
You can either spray paint the pram, dye the coat or never, ever go outside. Choice is yours.

I pity your child.

Why did you not buy her a pink pram and a nice pink coat? How will she know to grow up nurturing, feminine and creative instead of bold, masculine and decisive?

Hair my post should read. She has little hair. She has a bit of her I suppose
