My DS has been bought lots of clothes, we didn't find out the sex and also didn't have a baby shower so a lot of the clothes are gifts after he arrived and are incredibly gendered, although are lovely to have.

My gripe is that he has pockets in everything that isn't a sleep suit. Tiny dungarees with pockets, trousers with pockets and even t-shirts with a tiny breast pocket. These are obviously very useful for all the teeny tiny accoutrements a baby is required to carry Hmm

But what about meeee?! I spend a very small proportion of my life looking for practical clothes and I still have trousers and jackets with FAKE POCKETS or just completely missing or just as tiny as DS's pockets!! Gives me the rage Angry

It's not really about going out for the evening, or all day. Most women will take a bag of some description. But popping to the shops or walking the dog?

Phone, keys, poo bags, treats. I don't want to take a bag. Chucking sticks for the dog with a bag over my shoulder is a pain in the arse.

(So yes, I end up with a bumbag. Fiddly and annoying).
