I vote this :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter/page/2#post-1752054 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 05:34:15 +0000 Skadi 1752054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nerdy! ;) I don't wear make-up or paint my nails. DH and I actually oppose most organized sports for a variety of reasons. I hope she loves math, science and history. We're looking forward to taking her to the Ren Faire and SCA events. We'll teach her to play D&amp;D when she's old enough.</p> <p>I do think there is some value in teaching her to be feminine. That's something I feel like my parent's dropped the ball on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter/page/2#post-1752052 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 05:23:31 +0000 Bao 1752052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's both and I like it that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter/page/2#post-1752050 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 05:22:18 +0000 Mae 1752050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideally both! I want her to watch sports with her dad (and play if she wants to!) and bake cookies and get pedis with me. But if I had to choose I guess I'd say tomboy. Girly girl sort of implies a pre-occupation with looks and I hope that we raise her to be confident and not worry (too much) about her appearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter/page/2#post-1752045 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 05:02:29 +0000 night cheese 1752045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If this baby is a girl, she can be whatever she wants to be, I don't have a preference. </p> <p>Although when it comes to me, I hate sports AND I hate anything pink, ruffly and princessy. So if she grows up to be like me, she'll be neither of those things. But if not, that's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter/page/2#post-1752017 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 03:24:23 +0000 lamariniere 1752017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard to say, I was a GG when I was really young, more of the sporty variety as a teen, and I guess a mix as an adult? I hope she loves traveling and cooking and hanging out with her mom. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter/page/2#post-1751984 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:24:15 +0000 sunny 1751984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want LO to be a girly, sporty and nerdy girl :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter/page/2#post-1751974 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:11:08 +0000 birdofafeather 1751974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cop out with both. I was a tom boy in elementary school who still liked boys and shopping. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter/page/2#post-1751686 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 21:24:12 +0000 autumnlove 1751686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter/page/2#post-1751679 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 21:21:23 +0000 Greentea 1751679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Radish: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751654 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 21:14:10 +0000 Greentea 1751654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me they are not in any way mutually exclusive. I love all things outdoors. I literally hike and fish in dresses... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751624 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 21:04:28 +0000 JennyD 1751624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd rather her be a tomboy. Like I was. But I hope she's comfortable being feminin and being treated like a lady, because it's taken me a looooooong time to achieve that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751618 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 21:03:15 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1751618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either. I think we'd both have an easier time with a tomboy. I imagine my future kids to be mini-versions of their mama (not me, the other one) but I'd have no problem indulging in some truly girly activities with her if that's her thing. Maybe she'll do my hair for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751587 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 20:56:31 +0000 fussygal 1751587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both! As long as she's confident in who she is I'll be happy!</p> <p>@twodoghouse: ditto! And as long as she roots for the right teams :) Ahem, my teams. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751571 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 20:50:44 +0000 Lindsay05 1751571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 girls here so one of each?! I am a tomboy so whichever one is the girly girl will have to learn it somewhere else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751471 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 20:29:22 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1751471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little of both. I was a tomboy growing up, so I'm more comfy with her a little rough around the edges :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751412 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 20:19:55 +0000 charmed 1751412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would hope she's more a mix of both. I like to dress up and be girly, but I was also a farm girl growing up and not afraid to get dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751397 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 20:16:28 +0000 DillonLion 1751397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't matter to me, but like others said, I'm a mixture of both </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751281 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:57:52 +0000 sandy 1751281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely both but if I had to choose one I would pick girly girl...I just don't want her to be superficial, obsessed with her appearance, or entitled. </p> <p>My SIL is a total girly girl and we have nothing in common bc she will spend hours on her hair and makeup and expect to not lift a finger. I love getting pampered and shopping but I'm low maintenance and definitely don't expect others to do everything for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751256 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:53:08 +0000 Bookish 1751256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't matter! I'm more of a tomboy, so I guess it'd be nice to have that in common, but if she's a happy sparkly princess, that's ok too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751254 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:53:03 +0000 loveisstrange 1751254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Id rather her be like me.... chipped nail polish, playing in the dirt in a pink dress and bows with scrapes on her knees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751245 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:51:41 +0000 Somebunny 1751245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had to chose I'd choose girly girl. But I'd really prefer a tomboy who likes girly things too! That's what I was growing up. I loved to play hard and get dirty outside (my passion was beating boys at their own games :silly: ), but I also loved dolls and frilly dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751216 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:47:45 +0000 Weagle 1751216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both! I love seeing her digging for rocks in her sparkly tutu :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751170 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:41:36 +0000 chopsuey 1751170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's both. She's wild and loves the outdoors, but she's a girly girl who loves princess dresses and all that other good stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751160 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:40:25 +0000 Rubies 1751160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want her to be a tomboy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751148 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:39:06 +0000 artsyfartsy 1751148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girly girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751147 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:39:04 +0000 travelgirl1 1751147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. I love the way @Mrs. Oatmeal: said it :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751143 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:38:29 +0000 delight 1751143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both! I want her to wear pretty dresses and go shopping with mama but also want her to play a mean game of poker and be a good golfer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1751130 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:36:32 +0000 PurplePeony 1751130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, it doesn't matter to me. I'm not very girly, though, so I'll be kind of useless at teaching her how to do hair and makeup and things like that. Fortunately, we have some fashionable friends who can help out if it comes to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-daughter#post-1750962 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:12:31 +0000 Smurfette 1750962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: LOL!
