We had a meeting last night with the other parents (and babies) who attended the same ante-natal class as us. There were five sets of parents, and we'd all had girls.

We walked in with DD who was wearing blue dungarees and a hot pink tee-shirt underneath. In the light it could easily have looked red at first glance. One mum said 'ohh, at least one of us had a boy!' meaning DD. This didn't bother me in the slightest as it's almost impossible to tell the sex of small babies, so I said 'actually, she's a little girl too - meet DD!'.

The woman than proceeded to tell me that DD looks just like a boy, like really like a boy. And later on when people were trying to decide which parent each of the babies take after, she kept on saying that DD just looks exactly like my DH - that in fact, she could really just be a boy!

Obviously to me, DD looks like the prettiest girl who ever lived, but being objective about it, she just looks like a baby, really. Not especially like a boy.

AIBU to think this woman was just plain rude to keep bringing it up, after she'd been told that her guess was wrong?

I know it's silly and that it doesn't matter, but it's one of those things that's got to me.
