I’m not a bad mom because my daughter is “girly.”

[Anonymous]

I’m getting really tired of the comments from other moms that ask me if I hate that my daughter likes pink, or if I tried to talk her out of being Elsa for Halloween. My daughter is who she is, and trust me, if you knew her, you’d know you can’t change her mind on anything anyway. My daughter likes to play dinosaurs, ninjas, and Batman with her brother, but she LOVES unicorns, sparkles, baby dolls, and tea parties as well and I’m sorry, but that doesn’t make her any less of a strong young lady.

I think this attitude comes from women and is pretty mysonigist. We have no problems with boys liking sparkly stuff, because that’s open minded (and I agree) but we aren’t as comfortable with girls liking the same things. I also find the phrase mean girls problematic and I’ve heard girls as young as 2-3 being described that way.

+1 Move on. And find some new mom friends if this bothers you so much.

I can't tell if you're itching for a fight or if you need new friends.

You'll figure it out, OP.

What are you talking about? There is no open mindedness with boys.

No one is asking moms if they are bothered by their daughters wearing pink & liking princesses.

Oh, stop! Geez, OP, do you need attention so badly that you need to troll anonymous sites?

Please don’t feed the troll.

Speak for yourself. Some of us definitely would have problems with boys liking sparkly things, especially when it's pushed on them.

Well I’m not a troll, but go ahead and delete my post.

Uh, you clearly haven’t lived someplace where crunchiness is the norm.
