So I think it's no big deal anymore? Just depends on the shade and the style. And his skin tone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-574261 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:59:44 +0000 Running Elley 574261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I'm definitely planning on pink! I almost bought a pink polo onesie today for him to wear under sweaters in fact...<br /> @TurtleDoves: Awww I don't think he looks like he could even remotely be a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573843 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:22:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 573843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.B: adorable.</p> <p>@sera_87: this. I used to dress up my little brother in my dresses and pretend he was my little sister... Until he was about 8-9!!! He is a perfectly well adjusted very masculine adult ;)</p> <p>@berdine: true... I haven't dressed LO in pink this far, I just bought him his first pink polo and it will fit this summer, so he'll be we'll over 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573825 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:17:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 573825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I planned on it early on! I bought him a pink polo for this summer and DH likes it :) he was hesitant for sure but he saw it and really liked it.</p> <p>He looks good in yellow and I'd love to see more boy clothes with yellow. I'm not a fan of purple so no on that, but not because it's "feminine". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573777 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:05:00 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 573777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CB looks awesome in pink! and he loves it, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573704 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:50:07 +0000 Weagle 573704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.B: My LO has that heart onesie too. She wears it all the time. It's amazing how many other clothing items it matches :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573688 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:47:45 +0000 googly-eyes 573688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a girl but I sometimes buy boyish stuff...and she doesn't have much hair and gets called a boy a lot so if I ever have a boy I'll probably go ahead and just dress him in whatever I like even if it's "girly." DH will probably be like your DH though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573680 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:45:31 +0000 Mrs. Blue 573680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think of red &amp; yellow as gender neutral. I would dress them in pink &amp; purple as long as the style wasn't feminine. I *think* DH would be okay with that, as long as it wasn't all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573638 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:36:56 +0000 Mrs.B 573638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I put DS in pink and purple. He really likes pink.</p> <p>[attach=2461/13/mig4ll.439x600.DSC_2723.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573505 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:05:36 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 573505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will, but if it's a polo or some type of shirt that has a bit of masculinity to it. I hate stereotypical gender roles, but I still want lo to look like a boy.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: Charlie looks so cute in that shirt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573295 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:05:19 +0000 Mrs. Bee 573295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes most definitely! i love charlie in pink! </p> [attach=2/13/mig0cw.600x600.charlie-pink.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573265 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:51:29 +0000 sera_87 573265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to add: colour is colour. It doesn't have a gender. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573238 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:40:06 +0000 matador84 573238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never thought twice about it! Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573237 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:39:50 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 573237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing is off limits simply due to color, as far as I'm concerned. Though the more gender-neutral it is, the more "Oh, she's so cute!" I get, though. But it doesn't bother us. We just laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573227 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:35:12 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 573227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm going to give it a few months though so he can look more like a boy. Even when dressed in blue, some people mistake him for a girl...all babies look alike,right ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573195 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:16:01 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 573195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mavrick looked amazing in Pink! My favorite outfit was a pink polo. I want to get him one this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573126 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:48:55 +0000 jedeve 573126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@berdine: agree! I'm more concerned about gender stereotypes as he gets older. Pink and blue clothes to me are just a random social indicator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573106 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:39:05 +0000 LaughLines 573106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think once they're past the age where you can't really tell if they're a girl or a boy then it's fine. When they're really little it is sort of an indicator so people can coo over your cute baby girl or baby boy, but if he's 2 and easy to tell he's a boy I think he'd look cute in a pink polo and boat shoes ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573105 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:39:04 +0000 sera_87 573105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, but would hesitate on pink. But i hate pink anyway &amp; wouldn't willingly dress a girl in pink either so...</p> <p>Dude. If he wants to wear a glittery sparkly tutu and a tiara while having painted nails, go for it. I'm not here to impose any gender stereotypes or stifle him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573100 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:35:46 +0000 immabeetoo 573100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will. Once he's old enough it'll be up to him but for now I dress him in colors I like </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573054 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:08:45 +0000 lovehoneybee 573054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm tempted just to just buy it and let DH deal with it...I think he might concede once he sees how cute DS would look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573041 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:05:52 +0000 lemondrop 573041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not against it in theory, we just don't look good in pink with our gingerish complexions. Other pastels are fair game though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573033 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:03:32 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 573033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I consider Red a gender-neutral color! I had to convince DH of that though because our play kitchen is red and so is DD's push buggy... haha. I agree pink polos look adorable on little boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573019 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:00:12 +0000 chopsuey 573019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I put my boy in some of DD's old newborn/infant stuff. We never leave the house so why not? :)<br /> I've seen boys in pink polos and red sweaters.. So cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573017 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:00:02 +0000 Dandelion 573017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said other...cause at this point he's 5 and chooses all his own clothes. He wouldn't pick pink. In fact, I think he would get really offended if I even suggested that he wear pink, lol. Purple, too. He's got yellow shirts, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573012 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:59:15 +0000 chopsuey 573012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on it. Pink and red Polos and such look super cute on boys!<br /> Tell your dh that real men wear pink! just kidding. Don't if it'll offend him. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-573009 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:58:56 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 573009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, but that's because of hand me downs from my daughter. I probably wouldn't go out and buy pink clothes intentionally for him though - I don't think DH would be down for that either, but he's fine reusing old clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-boys-1#post-572999 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:56:18 +0000 lovehoneybee 572999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is one of the biggest feminists I know (as is my FIL), but he's weird about me getting DS any pink clothes (like polos and button down shirts) because he's a boy and they're too "girly". </p> <p>Will you dress your son in stereotypical "girl" colors (pink, purple, yellow, for instance?) </p>
