Turns out they were talking about my 3 year old daughter! Wtf!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2362361 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 01:48:27 +0000 dc yoga bee 2362361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dress M in a ton of pink, she has a ton of hair, and still she gets called a "he." It's like people assume little babies are boys in my neck of the woods lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2362342 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 23:56:14 +0000 Torchwood 2362342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: ha ha ha ha ha. My husband got asked BY A DOCTOR if he and his twin sister were identical. So it's all up in the air. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2362340 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 23:45:50 +0000 Corduroy 2362340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got asked if DS was a boy while I was changing his diaper! I know there's a lot of gender spectrum discussion out there now but I think on baby's its safe to say penis = boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2362314 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 22:51:40 +0000 mrsrain 2362314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't dress DD in terribly girly clothes so we get comments like that a lot. It doesn't bother me, but I do find it funny! One time someone asked how old he is and when I said "she's 6 months" they responded, "but she's wearing blue!" I was like... "So am I...!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2362248 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 21:47:17 +0000 Eko 2362248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the same question even with my boy about what looks to me like normal boy cloths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2362239 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 21:42:11 +0000 jlm22 2362239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adorable baby girl!</p> <p>I get that too, even when she is clearly dressed like a girl. She also has a gender neutral name so I just say thank you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2362029 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 19:13:16 +0000 Torchwood 2362029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get it a lot, but we're another that don't dress her in a ton of pink. But we've gotten it when she was in clearly girly clothes. It's so bizarre to me because we live in the south. NO ONE around here would be okay with putting a boy in girl clothes. So shouldn't anything girly at all be a clear indicator she's a girl? The other way around I'd get, but girl stuff should always equal girl around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2362024 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 19:09:20 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2362024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: haha!

When my DD was not yet walking and we were in music class, I was asked about on several occasions if I was the nanny. I don't know why anyone would ask that, she is not at all biracial and looks just like me. I guess people are shocked that I like being a SAHM, not sure?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361948 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 17:33:03 +0000 lisa1783 2361948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, my SIL keeps my nephew's hair very long and it's curly and she dresses him in tons of purple so everyone thinks he's a girl but she's confused as to why they think that. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361876 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 16:24:08 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2361876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww no way! We got that a lot with K, because I didn't dress her in frilly pink, but I expected that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361874 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 16:21:40 +0000 FaithFertility 2361874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get it all the time too, I don't dress her in pink too much and she hates bows has no hair ....lol<br /> So I am.used to it</p> <p>[attach=3878/15/ny14o4.600x600.IMG_20151004_155157.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361872 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 16:18:36 +0000 rattles 2361872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got this while mine was wearing hot pink skinny jeans, a purple coat and a hat shaped like a cupcake. At least they mean to compliment her! She's a cutie, btw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361846 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:56:24 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2361846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has a pink car seat and stroller and I still get asked "how old is he?" :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361845 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:56:19 +0000 MrsB2012 2361845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get this all the time with my youngest. I think it's because she hardly has any hair. Even at halloween, when she was dressed up as a LADYbug, she still got called a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361844 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:54:06 +0000 BandDmommy 2361844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: aghh go figure..

I got that a lot when M was a baby. We had a red stroller and I guess red=boy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361816 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:38:28 +0000 daniellemybelle 2361816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are dumb. It's the overalls, probably, which is super dumb! </p> <p>She's so cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361815 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:37:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2361815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 3.5 and still gets called a girl, I think because of his hair. I don't buzz cut it like most boys have. He has long beautiful blonde curls </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361814 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:36:58 +0000 jhd 2361814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had several people ask me "how old is she?" lately. LO is 18 months old. We got his hair cut a few months ago. I really don't see how he could be mistaken for a girl, but oh well! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361808 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:34:45 +0000 jape14 2361808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the opposite a lot with DS - one day when he was wearing a blue outfit with embroidered football players on it. He has a ton of hair so I guess that's why? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361807 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:34:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 2361807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dont' take it personal, i feel like most the time people don't look! I had a BOW in my daughter's hair and someone asked "how old is he?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361806 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:32:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2361806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heh I got that a lot because C had no hair and most of her gear was neutral. I mostly just said thank you. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seriously-people#post-2361792 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:23:11 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2361792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"What a cute little boy!"</p> <p>[attach=1437/15/ny11z5.450x600.image.jpeg]</p> <p>Apparently the hot pink shirt isn't enough of a clue that E is s girl... </p>
