This "advice/comment" made me laugh

So over the weekend I was at my parents house and my brother and SIL were there and they had already given me some baby clothes for our DD. Well I was talking about how I jsut need to found a good colts jersey for my DD. Well they said they would give me their DD onesies that were pink and said I love the colts more then cupcakes. I told them NICELY no thanks because I want like TRUE colts colors not the girl stuff. Cause I don't even wear the girls jersey's that you can have in other colors and bedazzled because I think they are made for women who just want to impress the guy they are with while still being able to be girly. (Sorry if any of you do wear the pink and bedazzled jersey, I know not all women are like what I just said) Then my brother started giving me a hard time about not wanting to put my daughter in the typical "girly" outfits like dresses and tutus and PINK everything. Which everyone who knows me knows I'm girlish not girly. SO then I just answered with my normal answer of "Well she won't know what she is wearing nor care, but when she is older and can talk and if she tells me she wants the princess sparkly dress I will buy for it but until then I can put her in what I want" Then I have no idea how it came up but my brother then talked about how people even call his DD a boy even though she is wearing a pink fluffy dress. So then I asked him what the point of giving me a hard time about my clothes choices for my DD when she will be confused for a boy no matter and then I laughed when he didn't have a response. I mean of course she will be confused for a boy Hell all my little nieces are confused for boys all the time. So I just found it very funny to give me a hard time about my likes in clothing for girls all the time then try to give me "advice" about how my baby will be called a boy all the time no matter what she wears.

A girl I know hates pink. Her daughter kept being mistaken for a boy so she started putting her in pink. It didn't help, she was still called a boy.
I don't like sports stuff for DS. Why do we need onesies with basketballs and footballs on it? Stereotypical much? I kept what was given to us but never put him in any of it. DH probably did. I can't stand that boy decor is all sports related and girls is all purple and pink glitter vomit. There are other hobbies and colors.
I'm picturing a little girl in a Colts jersey with some cute little pigtails...adorable!
@SweetMelissa5 I will probably do the same try to steer her to the stuff I like but if she wants that girly stuff then I will get it for her. But I'm hoping that since she will be around video games, and sports she won't want any of that glittery stuff.
@carcrashheart I hate how you have to pick either one or the other for whatever gender you baby is. I love the little boys clothes and some of it I feel either gender could wear. But god forbid if I did. Also I don't see why people get upset by their child being called the different gender I mean it just shows that the person clearly didn't observe anything before opening their mouth.
People get so bent out of shape about little things. I was going through boxes of DS's baby clothes to re-wash, and since we are team green I was looking for the "neutral" clothes. After a few minutes, I realized that almost all of the stuff DS wore I would put a little girl in (especially around the house, day care). Plus, they go through a lot of clothes if they are an explosive pooper or spit up a lot like DS did. I also have a lot of true sports gear for our Cincinnati team, and I will definitly putting LO in that stuff whether a girl or a boy. We even have a Colts outfit (DH is a huge Colts fan) that says "future Colts quarterback"- if LO is a girl, she will even wear that. Who cares what people think
@AeandJB Which is weird that these people keep making these comments to me. Usually I wear jeans, and either a shirt from a sports team or with super hero's on it. SO I don't see why they would think I would all of sudden be all I have to put all this girly stuff on my DD when I HATE all of it.
@Maelara People are so oblivious to their surrondings. I mean when I see babies if I can't instantly tell the gender by their clothing or toys I just say "What a cute baby! How hold/what's their name?" Then let the parents tell me their gender.
@Melissa2216 My thoughts excatly! I don't think people really take women seriously who wear the pink and bedazzled jersey. I love and know my football so I will wear my true team colors and nothing else. P.S I hope those 49ers can get it together with all those legal problems they are having with players before the season
Perhaps this is why God has only given me boys. (3)
All of that being said, however, I would not let her wear one of those ugly pink jerseys. I say wear your teams color, not pink.
however if I ever have a girl she will be in true colors. I live our team colors our bathroom is painted and decorated for the team. not a bandwagon fan just committed in all I can find.
