Would your Dh let you get a play kitchen for DS??

LUCKY41010 · January 2010

My dh will not even think of the idea....Even though I tell him when we go to playgroup and someone has one that Cooper will play on it for a good 30 mins...Then he chases after all the pretty girls..

kdiguise · January 2010

No, but not because it's 'girly', but because they're expensive!

beachbride5 · January 2010

my dh has never mentioned anything sexist, but when it came to the play kitchen he was all, "i don't think he'd like it..." uh huh. until he saw him playing away with one at a friend's house and suddenly his opinion changed. we are planning to get dek one for his birthday in march.

*NNO* · January 2010

Yes.

DH said "As long as the kitchen isn't girly, then I'm good."

So, he got the Fisher Price Chef Kitchen. It's blue and brown and not girly or boyish really...very neutral.?

ggbean · January 2010

I would...nothing to be embarrassed about. Chefs are hot, duh!

KatieTheMagnificent · January 2010

... we have a play kitchen in our living room right now. C has one at his Mimi's house, too. I don't understand why a kitchen would be a gender specific thing, aren't most chefs men?

meggiekins · January 2010

Yep. He doesn't care.

victoria1977 · January 2010

DS will probably get one. As long as it isn't pink, neither of us have a problem with it.

jenerally? · January 2010

my DH doesn't care about things like that.

jenifairies · January 2010

Yes.

And I *gasp* let him get DD some my first craftsman power tools, too. Maybe I should start saving for therapy now.

southernbelle82 · January 2010

Boys need to learn to cook too and little boys love playing with play kitchens! I asked my DH what he thought about it and he didn't care...just said he wouldn't a pink one which I agreed with.

stephm0188 · January 2010

Yes. But then again, he does all the cooking.

SarahMay77 · January 2010

Well, my H prepares 90% of the meals in our home, so it's not a problem here. But we'll have one of each using the kitchen set in a year. We don't have one yet, but DH is anti-plastic so he's hoping to build one.

LondonBridges · January 2010

Yeah. It's not an issue in our house.

jays_bride · January 2010

DH said he and his brothers had one when he was little. He also said he would have no issue with potential DS playing with DD's. That being said, I don't know that we would have went out and purchased one specifically for a boy.

CrystalDaun · January 2010

My DH is actually wanting to get a nice one. We saw one from Little Tykes and it's a kitchen and has a "grilling area" on the reverse side. He said when we sell our house & move and have a play room we are def. getting that kitchen for the kids. No room in our house for it.

southernbelle82 · January 2010

jenifairies:

I LOVE working with power tools and building things. Smile

violetvirgo · January 2010

my dh cooks and is not some sexist crazy so yeah. he also buys dd trucks and tool benches. dh would also let our son take dance or gymnastics. we're not really down with assigning gender roles.

JessMil10 · January 2010

Yes, men are allowed in the kitchen. This isn't 1950 anymore! I hope if we have a son he learns to cook. My husband grew up in a 1950 style home and can barely scramble eggs.

inbetweendreams · January 2010

Sure, if it's something we thought DS would like.

JenJar · January 2010

We have a Sesame Street one and he loves it. DH does most of the cooking, so he wasn't against it at all.

HeatherMO · January 2010

he wouldn't care- would just ask how much, them things are pricey.

Lotte134 · January 2010

We got one off Craig's List. DH went out and picked it up himself. We both 'cook' with DS and we both cook meals for real.

Yep

My DH is also like this.

We would not be together if he were sexist. I have strong feelings about it.

We haven't gotten a kitchen because we don't have room. We do plan on getting him a baby doll soon, too.

KelzinBoston · January 2010

We'll likely get one when we move into a bigger apartment.

We also let DS play with a doll, and DH couldn't care less.

eris1995 · January 2010

I'm planning on getting DS a kitchen for his 2nd birthday. DH hasn't disagreed. DH does all the cooking in this house so I'm sure DS would love a kitchen to be just like daddy.

janinekrause · January 2010

Yes. My nephew loves his.

BTW- there are very few "lets" in my house. My DH couldn't stop me if I thought DD would like something. that's insanity.

Bride2bMO · January 2010

Sure. I agree with very few "lets" in my house. Granted, I'd ask him if I wanted a $200 one, but if I wanted a $30 off of Craigslist there would be no preapproval discussion.

HisWifeHerMom · January 2010

We didn't buy one for DS because DD already had one but DS plays with it constantly and DH doesn't mind at all. Plus, it is is neutral colored, not pink or girly.

This is the one that Ds was playing with at a friends house and I loved it...Maybe mommy should just go out and buy it for valentines day for ds...

Koala77 · January 2010

Absolutely. I don't have a boy though, but I would.

*KatieH* · January 2010

Yup we already have one for Brendan.

Stellasmom · January 2010

Dh wanted to get a workshop instead, which cracked me up bc Dh cooks more than I do!

LilMissLadybug · January 2010

We have a play kitchen that DS loves. He also plays with DDs dolls, pink stroller and barbies. DD has toy cars and tools.

lol - exactly. It was a major purchase at about $120, so I consulted with DH before buying it, but I didn't have to ask permission.

And no, DH isn't hung up on things being gender-specific. Some of your DH's objecting to things like this strike me as being utterly ridiculous.
