to be fed up with the amount of pink!

[Sunshine78]

I am a mum to a dd and a ds. I just wanted to know why some people now who have dd have to have everything in bright pink as if to say look at me I've got a girl. Am I the only one who feels the pink explotion in shops is a bit sexist towards boys? Anything you can buy also comes in pink. There also seems to be more girls clothes/toys in the shops than boys. Sorry if this offends some but I would like to know why people want everything to be pink?

but why does my sis think it matters if I give her dd a present in blue paper?
Does she think it will damage her own gender identity??? !!
I mean why would anyone want to reinforce that whole pink thing any more than the whole of society already does??

Unfortunatley the shops collude with society to tell us that boys wear blue and girls wear pink. It is up to us to rebel

i went to mothercare to buy dd a travel cot the other day and the choice (in my price range) was grey or pink. we chose grey.

i then looked in early learning for a push along trike. the choice was green and blue or pink. we chose green and blue.

she does have a few pink things. a pink coat for example. most of her other stuff is along the lines of pumpkin patch. i quite like all the yellow and green stuff next have at the moment, and their red white and blue 'french' looking stuff.

Yellow and Green are fab on any child - thumbs up to that !
