My DS 16 months loves houses. They have a great big house with funiture he would love, but off course its bright pink! Why??? There is nothing wrong with pink, but why can't it be wooden or yellow??? Even toys like a bubble machine have pink and blue options! ITS NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get me started either - it's one of my biggest bug bears! IMO it's got much worse there recently, probably since the Mothercare buyout.

I hate the gender stereotyping too, my toddler girl is currently wearing ben 10 boxer shorts because it's her favourite show and she wanted Ben 10 knickers. Do they do them - of course not it's all princesses and peppa pig.

Was in ELC with DD today. It's really going downhill, they have not come up with anything new for what seems like years. One little boy had managed to pull the doors of their entire stock of toy washing machines. We have the same problem with boys pants - dd would really like Wall E ones

My DD loves wearing DS's hand me down underpants in Roary and Lightning McQueen!! DS will only wear boxers now so he's handed all the "knickers" down to her!

I'm confused as to why the colour of houses are affecting his health
