Can
we talk about "gender roles" for a sec? I have no problem dressing Esme
in "boy" clothes. We got a lot of hand-me-downs from our nephew and I
have a tiny obsession with dinosaurs, which all happen to be "boy"
clothes. Jacob, on the other hand has a huge problem with it. If her
comes home from work and she has "boy" clothes on, he will either change
her *or* when she starts crying he says, "aww...w
you're crying because Momma put you in boy clothes!" Even more
irritating was we got a coupon for a free bodysuit from Old Navy. We
went last night and I really wanted a red plaid one that reminded me of
my uncles. He would absolutely not allow it. I'll admit it was more on
the masculine side, but it wasn't like it said, "Little Man" or anything
like that (I'll post a link). *Then* there was a red and white polar
bear outfit, also boyish and he vetoed that. Don't get me wrong, Esme
has plenty of frilly outfits, but I don't see the point of limiting her
to those. Anyone else have a SO like this? Anyone like this? Am I cray
cray?

Re: Gender Rules Discussion (XP on FB)
we have a lot of "boyish" onesies for our baby that we got before we found out what we were having... I see no problem with her wearing them.
maybe you could put a bow or something on her head when she wears a boyish outfit (to make your H happy)

I buy girl clothes, but also check out the boy section. I bought a cute Carter's boy hoodie outfit, it's just grey, with stars.
Luckily DH doesn't care either way.
Why does a little girl have to dress frilly all the time! She needs options.

Smeh, I like putting DD in DS's hand me downs I usually add a small hairband or bow to her head just so people know she is a girl if we are out, but otherwise neither DH or I could care less.
Maybe DH is just really excited about having a little girl!
This.
Though that doesn't always work either. I had doofuses ask me if Sarah was a boy in her EASTER dress and when she was in pink with a bow in her hair...

I wouldn't say my DH is the opposite of yours OP because he likes the little pink girly stuff, but the first thing he bought Makayla was a camo hat, bib and booties...I'll be adding a flower to the hat. I don't think there is anything wrong with girls wearing boyish clothes. Like someone else said maybe he is just excited to have a little girl.
