If you have a daughter, do you feel it necessary to make her look pretty?
If you have sons as well, do you do the same for them?
If so (or not), why?
I have almost zero interest in my appearance, as anyone who's ever met me can attest, and I think I will die if my daughter grows up interested in fashion and stuff like that. my god, what if she wants to wear makeup!!!?? What if my son wants to?
I felt no pressure to make DS look "good", but with DD I detect - so far subtle - pressure to ensure she is pretty. I hate that. I don't ever want my kids to feel defined by the way they look. I also just cannot be arsed with things like that.
I'm not alone in eschewing those girly headbands - so noone thinks your baby is a boy - and dressing my daughter in her brother's hand-me-downs (yep, she gets called he all the time) am I?
