Gender assumptions

in October 2011 Moms
There are several things annoying me about adults pointing out personality and physical traits as being girly or not at our LOs age.

Right now any time N becomes fussy or whines at all, it's because she's a girl. No, it's not. She's a toddler. All toddlers are whiny buttholes from time to time.

Does anyone else notice or roll their eyes at some of this stuff?

    My step father made a comment about us getting P a kitchen, a vacuum, and a broom. Really? This isn't 1950.

    I was at my nieces first bday party yesterday. Sil's family was there too and it's full of bushy old hags.
    Alastair's stranger anxiety? He has to toughen up, it's not ok for a boy to be scared.
    His hair is too long.
    Cuddling him? Wrong.

    Most people know not to make those kinds of comments around me.  I've been very outspoken about not buying into the stereotypes, refusing to stick to "blue is boys, pink is for girls," etc.  My mom does occasionally tell me Lily could be a littl

    Yes, we get that when DD is being whiney. I am told she is "just a little diva...all girl." And I am saying "funny, because I remember my nephews doing the SAME THING at this age...I think it's a TODDLER thing."

    Oh, yeah.  Nora loves to wipe things down, so obviously she's going to make a heck of a wife some day.  Andplualso, she is really sweet to baby dolls, so she's obvs going to be a great mommy.

    Alastair LOVES wiping things down. He will probably catch the gay too.

    Gator has tons of stuff with, well, gators on them. Shirts, pajamas, etc....they are all boys, because you cannot find girl gator stuff anywhere. She also has Dino jammies, which are boys. We buy her lots of firetruck stuff, my sister is a firefighter/par

    I was recently told that girls are more independent. I'm not certain that's true. I think it has a lot to do with the individual.

    I'm also super annoyed by people who meet DD for the first time and call her "Princess." Barf.

    My sister in law has a little 9 month old boy and he wears one of the amber teething necklace. At a coffee shop one day an older lady said "oh, what a sweet girl", SIL said, "oh, he's a boy" and the woman says "ohh... he must be one of those... alterna
