presumably for girl & boy twins.

I know, I know, OBVIOUSLY there are genuinely shocking things in the world that this does not even begin to compare to, and NO it is not the only thing I need to worry about but ... I just seriously don't like this pram. I guess the gender stereotyping from birth wrankles, and when it is put side by side like this so blatantly it seems even more crass than usual. I don't know why else I get this really unsettled reaction.

But aibu?

Why can't you just say "I disagree?". Why does it have to be qualified with "I feel sorry for your children".

Would you say "I feel sorry for your baby" if someone chose to formula feed?

Or "I feel sorry for your children because you can't afford a private education"?

I really hope not.

Don't bring my children, or anyone else's children in to this thread. It is just plain downright cheap and unpleasant.

OP: "I think people shouldn't feed kale to their children, it's abusive."
#1: "I agree."
#2: "I agree."
#3: "I disagree."

Dull as hell, no?

My son had a bright red pram.
He is still a boy. It did not turn him girl.

Or hang on, maybe that is why he prefer to wear his hair long??? Confused

op, your op says "presumably for boy/girl twins"
you are guilty of gender stereotyping just making that comment. whats to say its not for twin boys or twin girls and parents just chose those colours as they liked them?

True. Perhaps I will ask the parents next time I see it out and about.
