To buy my DS a dress?

I've one DS, he is my first & last (traumatic birth).

He's only 10 weeks so is still quite neutral I.E you can't necessarily tell he's a boy yet!

I think dresses are lovely & as I don't follow this gender society crap of girls wear dresses & pink & boys wear blue & trousers.....I don't see the issue in putting my DS in a dress.

However, everyone else thinks it's wrong!

Is it??

I don't like babygroes on hot days though. Little cotton summer dresses are lovely for going out, just a vest for indoors.

Majorly fell off subject but hey ho!

I don't intend to adopt a little girl to "dress up", if I was to go down the adoption route, which is highly likely as I've always wanted to give a child who hasn't had the best start in life a stable, loving home...I would want to adopt another little boy.

Dresses even before the child is walking are practical....it makes for changing bums a lot easier as opposed to poppers!

I am in no way trying to "prove a point" nor am I trying to turn my son into a girl! I wanted a boy, I got a boy.

I have since clarified that comment.

No, you haven't. You have been rude, offensive, and in total denial of the unreasonableness of what you said. Nothing has been clarified. At no point have you suggested that you were in anyway thinking of the potential girl the OP would adopt. In fact, you have just gone on to attack others for daring to read the (very offensive) words you wrote and be offended by them.

So actually, yes. Moral outrage justified.

... and she's gone on to suggest that since I know (not surprisingly) quite a bit about the adoption process (more than her, who'd have thunk it), I'm implying I know everything about children.

I'm sorry to abandon you OP but I am not sticking around to be insulted as an adoptive parent.
If you want a cute picture of my DS in his christening gown feel free to PM me!

Social workers ... don't usually approve people to adopt who just don't want to give birth again. The correct route for birth trauma would, as far as I'm aware, be counselling

Disagree with drspouse here. Birth trauma is accepted by SW as a reason not to want to give birth again and therefore chose to adopt.

Hmmm. I wonder if the OP is a journalist. Something a little odd about the posting, to my mind.
