Ladies

I bought yesterday a second hand V-smile TV games console thing with 6 games for £25...a bargain I thought - credit crunch and all that!
I bought it for my son who will be 3 on New Years Day.
However, my husband has been going on and on about how the colour of the console is a 'girls' colour - pink/purple and that boys should only have blue.
I can see his point but FFS, I've got this for £25, they cost more than that from Amazon and tbh I don't think kids really care about colours.
Its not like a pink coat or pink bike, its a flipping console that will be sitting in our front room...am I being unfair by getting this for my son?
WWYD?
I don't want to have to give it back as I think my son will love it but am worried I'm being a horrid parent
Thank you for any advice..have to pop off as am at work but will pop back on in a bit

DS (3yo) has a pink and purple Dora the Explorer keyboard that he had for Christmas last year. He loves it and doesn't give a monkeys what colour it is!

Tell your DH that if he has money to burn - then he can buy you something with it instead of worrying about colours for a 3yo!!!
