This has been happening more often lately and it is driving me insane. My daughter is not a boy! My daughter does not look like a boy! Granted she still does not have a huge amount of hair but there is a little bit of curl at the back.
I'm hearing this from many women with children around Amelia's age. This same problem happening to us all. A friend of mine told me her son (wearing a football outfit) was called a princess! What are we supposed to be dressing our children in? Should a boy always be in blue? Should a girl live in pink? Or should members of the public who feel the need to comment on our children open their eyes and LOOK at what the child is wearing?
Today, for example, Amelia was wearing her lime green shorts with matching tights and a flowery top. She had a brown cardigan with a diamond "A" on it. OK ok I did forget to put a hair bow on her but still! I feel like raiding her wardrobe and throwing out everything that is not 100% girl like. Though I don't know anyone who puts their little boy in tights....
Is there something i'm missing? Frilly dresses don't suit Amelia so we spend a lot of money getting things made that suit her BUT still make her look like a girl. Clearly that has been wasted money. Does this mean if our next child is a boy he will mistaken for a beautiful princess?
People please LOOK before you speak! I will no longer reply in a polite manner I WILL be a smart a$$!
I think you have every right to be a smart a@@. Amelia looks nothing like a boy no matter what you put her in.
