This popped up in one of my FB groups today. I really feel the mothers pain. My DD loved green when she was little and trying to find green dresses was a nightmare. At least when the princess and the frog came out, I had the option of getting her a green dress up outfit.

Why on earth would boys 'generally like blue'? At what age? My son is 2 and likes pink and purple. He's never mentioned blue. A lot of his friends also like pink. It seems to be an appealing colour for little ones.
However, I do not like pink, and I buy the clothes, so he wears bold, bright colours. His sister does too. She gets mistaken for a boy daily, as it seems that unless a little girl is dressed in pink, most people are conditioned to think 'boy'.
Why are people so keen to deny this? I am so sick of all the gender stereotypical clothes and toys. It's so stupid and boring.

Mothercare DO do a blue dolls stroller. A quick search of Argos/smyths/Amazon and you'll find prams in every colour!
