Yep, it continues to be a battle. I just try to online shop as much as possible and bypass the whole girls’ clothing/accessories thing. Solidarity, sister.

Gah! this is the story of my life! Just look away. Don’t even acknowledge the presence of the girl section. Then walk directly to the ice cream section and buy some Ben & Jerry’s. and then thank God that you don’t have a daughter because then you wouldn’t have the money for that delicious ice cream. I feel you!

I totally relate to this. I’ve spent many an hour longing to be able to shop in the girls department. I love my son with all my heart, but at 9 he no longer tolerates it when I pick out pink and purple items for his room. (It;s just a lamp, your friends won’t know) The clothes department is bad for me, but the SHOES, oh, the adorable little girl shoes. But hey, we can always pray for granddaughters, right??? Then we could fill our sons homes with every frilly, girly thing imaginable. Rock on, Boy mommy!!!

My daughter is 14 and shopping is zero fun now. So console yourself with that.

You can also try this–when my daughter turned 4 we invited all her pre-school classmates to a picnic. One of her presents was a couple of complete head to toe outfits of maximum cute-osity from one of her male classmates. I looked at the mom and she was a little sheepish, but she told me she had four boys (all under 8) and couldn’t control herself once she started.

I have a 12 year old girl and she refuses to wear anything girly. She dresses in basketball shorts (sweat pants when it is cold) and t-shirts. She almost passes out in horror at the color pink. She likes being a girl, she just doesn’t care for the clothes and I have discovered this is a great thing. It saves me money (she has a brother that things get passed down to) and anxiety (I see other girls with their skin tight yoga pants and midriff tops and colorful bra straps hanging out and bless my daughter for her taste). While her grandparents buy her fancy dresses they hang in her closet, tags attached. So, having a girl is no guarantee you get to actually see her in girl clothes!

How were you looking at it? Desktop? Mobile? Tablet?

Cute article. But the site is so flooded with huge advertising and popups that I won’t be back. I really hate popups. Don’t you?

That’s what would happen to me too, except they’d all be boys.

I have two girls and due to my age, I had a tubal after the second one. I’m still not completely comfortable with that decision and I feel like my Dr pushed me into it. I long for boys. I want to see the little boys that look like my husband. I want that mother-son bond that my friends with boys have. Don’t get me wrong, my girls are wonderful, smart and loving. But, the DRAMA!!! Oh my goodness the Drama. I live in my own soap opera. Want some quality entertainment? Be at my house from 3-8pm. I would absolutely have my eggs harvested and fertilized and implanted if I could be guaranteed boys. Of course, the way our luck runs we’d have quadruplets and they’d all be girls!
