It makes me think of the 80's. So yeah, that wouldn't bother me.</p> <p>When I make big purchases I do try to pick stuff not overly flowery or pink in case we have a boy next but he'll probably have some pink and pastels in his life handed down from his sister. I don't think the presence of pink is going to make him any different of a boy than if we hid pink from his life.</p> <p>Our little girl has a spiderman tricycle (for later use) because it was a good bike in good shape at a yard sale. When people think she's a boy, oh well, she's a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-232303 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:39:23 +0000 kml636 232303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, DH wears pink pants to work so I guess so! </p> <p>Seriously though, I wouldn't have a problem with it as a baby! But I would never want my son to be made fun of so as he got older, probably not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230993 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:45:00 +0000 mrbee 230993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure, I wouldn't mind at all. As long as he looked good in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230990 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:38:46 +0000 Honeybee 230990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If DD's sun suit is still in good condition after this summer, I'd totally pass it down to DS! I don't care much about colors, and he'd just be wearing it to daycare/in our own backyard, anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230986 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:35:54 +0000 immabeetoo 230986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I think colors are colors - I'm in the process of buying cloth diapers and if the lilac color is $2 cheaper.. youd better believe our boy will be wearing light purple! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230955 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:13:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 230955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do the shorts, but probably not a rash guard. It is silly, but for some reason I'd only want to do it on an obviously boy item (like swim trunks, which are obviously not for a girl). But I also know H wouldn't want to put a son in hot pink no matter what anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230751 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 07:35:57 +0000 mrsjyw 230751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. But probably more to appease DH than me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230749 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 07:35:12 +0000 looch 230749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only buy white rash guards, but no, I wouldn't put my son in a pink rash guard. I would do pink oxford dress shirts, maybe pink shorts, but balanced out with a more masculine component. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230748 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 07:33:50 +0000 Mrsbells 230748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont know what a rash guard is? lol I wouldnt mind putting my son in hot pink shorts though, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230721 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 06:26:36 +0000 Lozza 230721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally would. LO doesn't care, why should I? Less wasteful to reuse if we already have it- if we have a girl next, she's definitely just wearing LO's boy clothes around the house and to daycare, and then we'll buy her a few nice things of her own for when we go out and want her to look nice. I wouldn't do it if it bothered LO, but I figure as long as he's cool with it, that counts as "ain't broke." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230717 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 05:57:38 +0000 PrincessBaby 230717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd pass on that...And on the reverse too- I wouldn't dress my daughter in obvious boy clothes either. I mean, neon colors are "in" right now, but little kids don't know that, and I was picked on so much as a kid and growing up, it's pretty much my mission in life to try to make sure I can minimize torture for my own kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230710 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 05:42:09 +0000 Andrea 230710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. If we find out that I am carrying a boy, it is going to be all new clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230707 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 05:30:42 +0000 SugarplumsMom 230707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't, although DH doesn't have a problem with it. Before LO was born we'd wonder about the chances of the gender prediction being wrong and the pink clothing we already had. DH never thought it would be a problem, I however, am less relaxed so I made sure to buy a lot of green and white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230703 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 05:14:34 +0000 heffalump 230703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But I do dress my loving "boy " clothes. I try to find gender neutral because if I have a boy next I don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe, but there's very little out there in bigger sizes so I do put her in some boy clothes. I figure that's better than putting my boy in pink in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230690 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 00:47:32 +0000 lemondrop 230690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not, but I'm not a fan of pink to begin with. Also I hunt the sales and almost never pay full price for any clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230689 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 00:11:57 +0000 gracecat 230689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I wouldn't dress my daughter in hot pink too! I just don't like the color that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230622 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 21:41:32 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 230622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i'd do pink swim trunks, but not a rash guard... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230617 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 21:39:01 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 230617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. I don't mind boys wearing pink (shirts) heck it's my favorite color on Mavrick, but shorts/swimsuits I find it touches their "boyish" aspect. So i wouldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-dress-your-son-in-a-hot-pink-swimming-suit#post-230610 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 21:33:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 230610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to the pool today with some good friends who have kids the same age as Charlie and Olive. The baby boy was wearing a hot pink and orange rash guard -- obviously a hand me down from his older sister.</p> <p>I pretty much gave all of Charlie's clothes away after Olive was born because my mom bought her a whole new wardrobe. But even if I hadn't, I probably would have bought Olive a new girl swimming suit/rash guard. </p> <p>It's kind of silly since it's a waste of money and Olive certainly doesn't care. It wouldn't really bother me if someone thought she were a boy either... so why would I buy her new clothes? I guess I just like dressing her up. :)</p> <p>Would you dress your son in a hot pink rash guard? </p>
