My boys have played with a treehouse type dollhouse and stuffed animals and once they put on the girls' dressup clothes to be funny at daycare, but to be obsessed with all things Disney Princess is a bit over the top I think...esp. since his older sister is not into this stuff...how does all this crap get into your house?

I think the Princess stuff is bad for girls too...It is sort of telling them- looks are looking pretty are of paramount importance...

Do you have any daughters, PP?
I have a 5 year old daughter and a 3 year old son, so I don't think it's odd ad all that my son loves ballet and tutus and dancing and Bitty Baby.

Because a multi-billion dollar company has deployed a battalion of MBAs, marketers, designers, and data analysts to sell your kid Disney gear. And it's working.

That's not good, rigth?

My 3-year-old son mostly likes traditional boy stuff (trains, trucks, etc). But he regularly picks out pink stuff, including his bike helmet.
