or girly stuff growing up. But my daughter? Loves to dress up and do girly stuff. It's difficult. I want her to be a strong woman, a proud feminist, but don't want to spoil her love of girly things. It's so true, the things kids are indoctrinated into right away from birth. Starts right there at the baby shower!
Once told another mother I didn't want to buy my daughter a doll house. And she was horrified. Until I told her I was building my daughter a doll house with her out of legos. That house has been growing and expanding for years
