MIL keep insisting on a "gender neutral" room

I am going to find out the sex of my baby in a week. DH has 2 kids already. His parents started offering me "color neutral" clothes. Though I already told them I wanted something useful.

I really want a pink or blue themed room for baby , but I started getting bad comebacks from inlaws. Dh told them about our plan for the blue or pink themed room. Mil texted me " Baby may changed gender..." or " pink is so sexist you are going to make your daughter weak"... " DS kids had gender neutral clothes and toys.... " I won't buy anything pink".

It's only the pink or girly items she criticises. She has nothing to say about if it was a boy.

Now I feel worried. What do you think ?

What you describe is a healthy balance and a wide choice of activities, not swayed towards gendered stuff only.

O/p isn’t happy that mil wants to buy things that aren’t pink. That’s the problem.
