Girly Girls

[skinnycow]

Some of my friends have dds who are incredibly "girly" and "pink" and who behave like little divas already expecting their own way and generally all displaying the same sort of behaviour in stark contrast to other girls who arent "pink" and seem to be more independent and easy going. The overtly "princess" and "barbie" theme also seems to run through these lasses. Has anyone else noticed that "pink" girls are more pouty than their non pink counterparts?

yes i think so - lilac and silver!

hmm - I've never been a girly girl myself and look on 'the pinks' with disdain I'm afraid!

dd2 loves pink but there is nothing of the pouty princess about her

were you a pouty child cod?

disney is banned in this house and so is the word princess

have you ever noticed that the parents on these supernanny little angels type progs always refer to their girls "she's my little princess" bleurgh

I am secretly hoping that DD will turn out like this

DD is pink and pouty - much given to attacks of histrionics, but Barbie etc is forbidden in this household....What's a mother to do (much wringing of hands)? - think it's a recessive gene.

ah interesting then hmc - so it ISNT the demonic barbie who makes them like this..... hmmmmm

However Disney is not banned in this household. Miaou - what's wrong with you? Sleeping Beauty etc is a treasure...

No it's not Skinny. I do wonder if Angelina Ballerina has an unhealthy influence however - dd insisted in taking off her jeans and jumper yesterday to don a summer weight flouncy dress so that she could 'dance'

not the films hmc (though bI'm not a great fan) - but all the merchandise is. sorry wriggly baby means brevity!

oops

Oh I see!

No disney princess crap in my house. Sorry hope that's not too offensive. Am in a foul mood atm

does anyone have a defo non pink girl and wished they were a tinsy wincy bit pink?

i do. there has always been a distinct lack of dolls in this house, and prams, and pink girl things. the prams always got used as racing cars or folded down to be go karts.

i have never plaited her hair. she never had enough to plait.

i did it myself not doing girly clothes becuase i didn't want to iron frills, jeans were always much easier.

now avril lavigne is her hero. shes a self termed rock chick - so am quite proud. but a little pink would have been ok!

My dd1 is a girly girl, loves pink, being a princess but she can fight like a boy, acts like a boy and is not pouty.

Perhaps it is sleep deprivation - go to bed! (that's where I'm off)

We don't have much disney paraphernalia actually, just a few dvds (which I quite like too )

I think dd2 will be like me, she hates dresses (well she has one that she will wear) and loves jeans and t-shirt and loves punk/rock music.

would love to hmc but ds is teething and yelling his head off

I also have a camouflage-loving, pink hating dd who wants to bea farmer or in the army - nice balance

Dd woke up screaming last night. I thought she was ill or in pain. But no. . ..she'd misplaced her silver handbag!!!!

Everything is princess this and princess that (she's 3) and who's gong to be her prince etc. And I can't remember the last time she wore trousers: she won't stop crying if I even come near her with a pair of trousers. And oh god, the pink!

I could not be more ill-equipped to deal with a daughter like this. And, yeah, skinnycow, she's a diva & a pouter & incredibly emotional. I can't think how I created such a girly creature. Girls weren't like this in the 70's in America, or, if they were, they incredibly uncool. . .maybe it was the effects of feminism. Now the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction, and girly girls are taking over.
