[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other part that I am glad about is that after one boy I feel we have the boy skills down pat.  We know about baby boys and we have all the toys and the clothes. [b] Frankly, I'm quite glad not to have to buy ridiculous dolls and pink tiaras or princess outfits.  Sure there are some cute girl clothes but I'm glad to have avoided the pink stage[/b].[/quote]

I wish people could explain the joys of having one gender without feeling the need to put down the other.  Not all girls go through a pink stage (and some boys do), or want ridiculous dolls, etc.

Boys are amazing, girls are fantastic, kids in general are pretty wonderful.  Every family experience is different.[/quote]

That's true but I'm still glad I avoided it.  And for the record, I have 7 nieces and every single one of them has been obsessed with pink and princesses.  I am happy that we have boys and don't need to deal with that.  Sorry that makes you defensive![/quote]

NP.  She's not defensive.  She's very nicely pointing out that you sound insecure and not very nice.

Oh, and I have a niece who is a total tomboy.  She never wanted to brush her hair and never gave a crap about princesses.  What does that prove exactly?  Nothing.  Like your examples.[/quote]
