I am attending the dreaded "baby shower" this evening. My friend did not find out the sex of her baby at her scan. I went into town today to get a little present.
First place I go to look was the large national clothing chain, Next. I live in a big town, this is quite a big Next, big enough to have an upstairs.
I look around to find some little babygros or sleep suits in a nice neutral colour. Anything white, yellow or green would be fine. There was NOTHING. I asked the assistant for help in case I'd missed that rack but she couldn't find anything either. Everything had either pink bits or blue bits on it or pictures of pirates or princesses.
I was really quite put out. Next is such a well known brand. AIBU to expect them to provide at least something for people to buy for their baby before it's born if they don't know it's gender yet?
I'm not militant about raising children gender neutral or even particularly anti-pink. I just expected more from such a big name.
