So true, it's hard to avoid pink for girls. But I guess it's always an option to go into the boys aisle and buy some boys' clothes for a girl. A bit weird doing it the other way around, though... But each to their own
My boys have plenty of girls clothes. Some are hand me downs from girl cousins and others are stuff that I've bought them.
I needed non-cotton tights for Yasin to wear under his ski gear on days that weren't cold enough for his merino thermals. I headed straight to the girls section and found a great black pair - he's wearing them today. Imran needed thermals and none of the boys ones measured up so I found a nice pink set for him. I'd prefer him to be warm than butch.


The one that annoys me is the fact that its just assumed that all boys like cars/trucks/planes and camo (meh, I hate camo). Can we get some variety in boys clothing please? On the up side, boys do seem to get a variety of colours unlike the wall-to-wall pink for girls.
I've never had a problem finding non-car/truck/plane stuff. Yasin loves pirate gear so we have lots of jolly-roger clothes here.
At the moment I'm crazy for the boo foo woo and little horn stuff.


The weird thing is that it's so culturally determined. 100 years ago pink was for boys and blue was for girls. When I was a child most of the children's clothing was very unisex.

Bath, I consider myself lucky when it comes to male role models. My boys have access to a pretty diverse group of adult men. At the moment Yasin has a male swimming teacher and a male kick-start teacher. He had a male ski instructor too. It's a shame that men are deserting the teaching profession but when I was at uni there were some pretty switched on guys doing education so I have hope for the future.
