Well, I suppose I am teaching DS to be a gentleman, so there are some gender differences. But him being able to cook isn't something he should be denied because or a Y chromosome or a penis. So long as he doesn't use that to mix the cakes up with. He likes to pick flowers and give them to girls - boys usually get sticks or fir cones. I have never told him that, he just does it. Maybe because I thank him for flowers and DH doesn't? DS sees dad doing the gardening, but grandma doing it at her house. He sees me cooking, but he helps me. (Got to get DH cooking more!) His current favourite job is doing the laundry which has always been my domain. There's nothing wrong with him being a boy, only denying him having good fun because of it. Stopping him hurting people is fine even if he finds it fun, but stopping him playing with my Barbies isn't.

Bath - lego and duplo are VERY gender-based now. DS has a duplo car with wheels to screw on, an engine that comes out... girls we know have duplo prams and babies and whatnot. I tend to get the lego for DS that I want to play with, so most of it is pretty "male" as I like building.
