If so, that was me! I played with Tonka trucks, loved go-carts, and had my own skate board...yet, I always wore girly clothes up until 2nd grade (when one of my best friends finally asked why I never wore pants). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74894 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:34:18 +0000 pastemoo 74894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>tomboy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74865 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:56:48 +0000 mynoahbear 74865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a girly girl and my sister was a tomboy.

I was always digging for worms, fishing with dad, and bringing frogs into the house to show my mom, and she hated it! :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74704 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:47:47 +0000 lilteacherbee 74704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely a girly girl! And I still pretty much am. I liked to play outside when I was a kid, but I didn't like getting dirty. Everything was either pink or purple and I loved barbies/baby dolls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74696 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:44:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 74696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a good mix between, I loved getting dressed up and preforming dance/gymnastics, but I was a daddy's girl and would go hunting and fishing and camping all the time with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74681 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:25:13 +0000 prettylizy 74681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total Girly girl from the get go, I loved all things frilly and pink and fulffy... some things never change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74677 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:22:53 +0000 banana 74677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rubies: LOL! I know what you mean. Times were easier when I didn't have to worry about clothes and makeup. It was fun to just roll around in the dirt and play with cars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74676 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:22:21 +0000 SugarplumsMom 74676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely a tomboy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74669 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:17:29 +0000 owlmom 74669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: such a good compromise! Too cute. </p> <p>I was a total tomboy, probably because I had an older brother. I wanted to do everything he did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74664 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:16:20 +0000 joyjoy 74664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a girly girl. I grew up with mostly boy cousins and the two girls who came after me were total tomboys, so no one knows where my girliness came from. I would play football in the streets with them and close my eyes before I caught the ball then squeal as I ran towards the end zone. They told me many times that the only reason they kept me in was because I was fast, and no one wanted to hit me, so whoever had me on their team was guaranteed a few touchdowns. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74651 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:11:20 +0000 Rubies 74651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tomboy! And I hope LO is a tomboy, too! I had more fun as a tomboy. As soon as I became girly-girl, life suddenly became exhausting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74635 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:59:45 +0000 banana 74635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: My mom never pressured to be more "girly" either and I also appreciated that! I took karate classes and she was totally supportive of it. If I have a girl, I will also be supportive of anything she wants to do. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74629 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:56:51 +0000 kml636 74629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good topic, I have been thinking of this lately since I would ideally like to have girls. I had two brothers, and my mom was very "tom boyish". I never felt pressure to be girly and I never focused on my appearance. Fast forward to after college and now and I'm so girly! But I actually appreciate how I was raised because it was never even brought up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74573 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:29:15 +0000 heffalump 74573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I also played outside all the time... but that's because my friend that lived across the street always wanted to. We would compromise because she wanted to do stuff like ride bikes and I wanted to play house. So we put our dolls in our bike baskets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74569 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:27:42 +0000 chopsuey 74569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in between. Loved girly things, but played outside all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74495 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:53:21 +0000 AshleySS 74495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was such a girly girl, everything was pink, Barbies and babydolls! I tried sports but hated them, I'm not the most coordinated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74493 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:53:10 +0000 BSB 74493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a little bit of both but more a tomboy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74491 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:52:25 +0000 heffalump 74491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was (and am) such a girly girl. I insisted on wearing a certain dress with neon pink and black dots on it everywhere I went. I had pink sparkly shoes and big poofy pink bows. I liked doing ballet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74487 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:50:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 74487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big tomboy. Played WWF, baseball, football, water balloon fights, bb gun fights, very physically aggressive play lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-growing-up-were-you-a-tomboy-or-a-girly-girl#post-74479 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:48:28 +0000 banana 74479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was definitely more of a tomboy growing up. My brother and I were super close and played together all the time. I also had a lot of boy cousins so I ended up playing with a lot of GI Joes and Transformers way more than with my Barbies. I also watched way more boy cartoons than girl cartoons (He-man and Thundercats!)</p> <p>Were you more of a tomboy or a girly girl during your childhood years? </p>
