that is soo sweet
my boys are very stereotypical boys and love all their cars and trucks and being dirty and farting and just being gross but theyd choose a toy stroller and a doll over all their toys any day but DH wont let me buy them one![]()
Lol PZ!
Raffy - maybe he is worried he'll turn out to be a loving nuturing father? Lol Not letting boys play with dolls is ridiculous. I didnt realise women were the only ones to care for the babies...
Calluna, your DS looks gorgeous!!
Lol, my dad hates when DS plays with his 'baby' and pushes his pram everywhere. And he also loves pink!! I think's it's great![]()
See that's what I don't get, he's a very hands on and nurturing father and my FIL is very loving and affectionate towards DH and BIL, both DH and BIL had homemade dolls that were their favourite toys, BILs was even called 'dolly' so he has no ground to stand on when it comes to not agreeing with DSs having dolls and prams
If my partner's argument doesn't make sense then i don't see why i should go along with it. Have you thought about why your DH gets the final say?

Cute! That just reminded me, when I dropped the kids off at kindy the other day, there were some cars tucked up in blankets in toy cots in the toddler room. DS & DD both were stroking them saying "shhh baby sleeping". Love their imagination! It seems that no matter what kids have to play with, they will turn it into what they need to play their games, regardless of stereotypes or colour.
There's an online store called Redberry Kids they have a facebook store and stand alone website I think. They have a few different doll houses some are pink but at least one is like a pine with a couple of primary colours if anyone is still looking
I've been meaning to get one for my two youngest![]()
That's my favourite thing! DS2 will turn anything into anything. I love that he uses his imagination. That old ad that used to be on telly with a kid playing with celery....not too far fetched in our house.
Besides, show me a man who wouldn't want to put his brand new "baby" car or motorbike in the loungeroom and cover it in a blanket!
Taurean - that is awesome! We wanted to buy DS2 a "dolls house" but honestly, all pink and frills just wasn't going to cut it. My pop made my sister and I a dolls house when we were kids. My nan made all the furniture out of wooden pegs. There was not a pink thing in sight!
