Is my husband being too controlling?

[L003]

We’re expecting our first child. Found out it’s a little girl. And i am so excited, so is he. I was looking at clothes for our baby girl online and chose a few blue, green, pink and red outfits. I’m not big on the whole dress girls in a lot of pink because they are ‘little princesses’ mentality. My husband is strongly against dressing her in any blue, stating that it is conforming to gender stereotypes, but he wants her to dress in pink and gender geared colours

I feel so annoyed about it. I still ordered blue outfits but made sure they have flowers and tea cup prints cause thats what girls are into i guess

Is this controlling behaviour or i’m I just hormonal?

I dont think its controlling as to me, controlling is someone trying to change your behaviour through fear or manipulation and this sounds more like a one off argument. It does hint at him being a bit dim / old fashioned / misogynistic/ though and to be honest it would worry me, if he just really liked pink as a colour that's fair enough but to say she has to wear pink as she is a girl...firstly it's a modern 'rule' with no basis in anything other than fashion and secondly, what other pointless, outdated and potentially harmful 'rules' will he have about girls? They can't play rugby? Drink pints? Have a fulfilling sex life? Hate housework?

When my 2nd child was born I put her in the older ones outgrown babygro initially. One day at the school gate and a mum told me I was giving her a complex by putting her in navy blue. Next I know however same mum dropped off lots of small pink stuff outgrown by her daughter, so a bonus really. Takes all sorts...
