After her ringlets grew in no one has mistaken her gender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby/page/2#post-2249843 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:11:40 +0000 MamaG 2249843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally don't correct people as I don't care much about a passing strangers comments. I'll typically reply with a polite thank you. My husband on the other hand gets really bothered and will 100% of the time correct the person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby/page/2#post-2249794 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 11:48:57 +0000 namaste 2249794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: lol same. </p> <p>A could be a boy or girl I'm sure. Her hair doesn't make a difference. I don't really care lol I rarely correct strangers if they're wrong </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby/page/2#post-2249785 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 11:42:48 +0000 Anagram 2249785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one has ever mistaken LO 1 for a boy, even though we have a blue stroller and blue A&amp;A blankets. But she always had headbands and had her ears pierced at 1.</p> <p>I'm sure I'll get it with LO 2 though. Two girls in a blue stroller with blue blankets will just be too much for some people. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby/page/2#post-2249763 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 11:29:22 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2249763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had her in a pink dress and bows and she has still been referred to as a boy. I don't get it. At 2 its pretty obvious now but when she was younger people would get so confused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby/page/2#post-2249737 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 11:10:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2249737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. That is why I usually put a bow on her! When she has no bow (and has little hair), and not head to toe in pink, I don't blame people to assume she's a boy :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby/page/2#post-2249709 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 10:50:43 +0000 blackbird 2249709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heh, they all look the same to me, for the most part. Put a bow on T and he suddenly looks like a girl. I haven't had any assumptions with him, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249704 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 10:47:36 +0000 dagret 2249704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>people never thought that my son was a girl, but they are always mistaking my daughter (our second child) for a boy. It's not like I dress her neutrally either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249680 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 10:34:54 +0000 ms.line 2249680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: People are idiots with hair. I have a pixie cut but otherwise appear *very* feminine, and I've lost count of the number of times I've been called "sir." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249675 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 10:29:59 +0000 MaisyMay 2249675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my little girl wad younger, we would have her in pink saying shirts like "daddy's girl" and people still thought she was a boy. Now that she is 2.5 we don't get that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249656 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 10:12:59 +0000 MrsRcCar 2249656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: I was like "um thank you?"

" I was like "um nope both boys" he simply replied " well that's Jesus for you. " </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249623 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 09:51:55 +0000 wonderstruck 2249623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Same. And I take way too much pleasure in it when people say things like, "You know, most babies are really kind of weird looking, especially when they're first born, and you have to pretend to think they're cute anyways or it gets awkward. But both of your kids are really adorable! I don't even have to lie!" Bahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249618 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 09:48:37 +0000 wonderstruck 2249618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: I also get the 'too pretty to be a boy' comment all the time. Apparently boys aren't allowed to have long eyelashes - those get cited a lot as a reason people assume he is a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249545 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:55:40 +0000 Truth Bombs 2249545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: Hahaha, I definitely don't think ALL babies are cute. Someone told me I would change my mind on that once I became a mother... nope, some babies are just ugly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249481 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:26:07 +0000 mrsjyw 2249481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of our sons were born w a lot of hair that they never lost which I attribute the "girl" comments to; I think ppl just assume girls have hair. Ds2 is only two weeks old and we've heard it a couple times already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249462 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:06:52 +0000 BandDmommy 2249462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: some of my friends have gotten so "creative" I don't know how to pronounce their kids name. So I just say "hi cutie!" And FWIW, I don't think most babies are cute. I know, I'm an awful person. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249461 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:06:23 +0000 Truth Bombs 2249461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Don't think I won't be on the look out for that response when I tell you Baby #2's name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249459 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:04:03 +0000 looch 2249459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: To which I reply "Excellent choice, suits them so well!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249456 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:02:57 +0000 Truth Bombs 2249456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: These days I feel like half the time the name doesn't give me a definitive answer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249454 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:02:08 +0000 BandDmommy 2249454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: lol!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249436 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 07:48:56 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2249436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone said girl! He had long hair and he has a very pretty little face! He's 16 months and still gets called a girl sometimes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249431 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 07:42:22 +0000 looch 2249431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think all babies look like old men, mine included, sorry! Unless I know for sure, I never comment, I usually just ask the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249427 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 07:38:55 +0000 youboots 2249427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get half and half. A lot of her clothes are hand me downs from her boy cousins. People will still ask when she is wearing blue and a headband. I don't correct people or care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249403 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 07:18:51 +0000 travellingbee 2249403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times people called my boy a girl becaus we have let his hair be longer but it is pretty rare. He dresses very masculine so it's pretty obvious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249384 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 06:39:12 +0000 BandDmommy 2249384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but she is always wearing a bow and has her ears pierced. I never got that question with my son either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249383 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 06:34:55 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2249383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest was only confused for a boy once. She was wearing a blue hair bow so...<br /> My second got boy a few times in the beginning. I think people assume the second is the opposite gender from the first. We haven't gotten it in a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249377 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 06:08:53 +0000 Peasinapod 2249377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never understood all the pink and bows for girls, and always assumed I'd dress my lo in lots of green and yellow- my two favourite colours.</p> <p>But all the 'what a cute boy' comments do start to get to me and I find myself gravitating to pink so ppl don't mistak her for a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-that-baby#post-2249375 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 06:03:36 +0000 Truth Bombs 2249375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once had an old lady assume she was a boy because she was wearing blue. It was a blue HEADBAND with sequins and a tulle bow....... </p>
