There was an exception for mothers with baby bottles. My husband was SO OFFENDED, because what about the dads who might have baby's and bottles? <br /><br />Another time my mom came to pick me up so we could go somewhere and she said to him "you're babysitting today, huh?" and my husband said, "I am not babysitting my children, I am parenting them." I think she was a little taken aback.<br /><br />All those years of me going on tirades about sexism paying off!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218516934624514003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-89449176730973003752009-12-03T14:47:03.309-06:002009-12-03T14:47:03.309-06:00Kim, I find it very informative reading about your...Kim, I find it very informative reading about your pet issues which (correct if wrong) are the deforestation of Tasmania and the cruelty animals suffer in some of these factory-type farms. <br /><br />I'm thinking everyone needs a few pet issues... but marketing pink toys to little girls sure isn't mine LOL.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-3834013213151947122009-12-03T14:42:04.623-06:002009-12-03T14:42:04.623-06:00I don't like pink.

And the comments section of your blog isn't the place for me to be pushing my pet issues. <br /><br />Have I told you lately how much I enjoy your blog?

I bought a pink camera simply because I knew my teenaged son would never touch it but my dh is secure enough in his manhood to take pictures with a pink camera!<br /><br />It works for me.<br /><br />The folks over at pinkstinks need to get a life and worry about something really important . . .walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-8310459183261063092009-12-02T22:52:57.146-06:002009-12-02T22:52:57.146-06:00Eventually a gal will decide for herself whether o...Eventually a gal will decide for herself whether or not pink is pretty. The ones complaining about it figured out that they didn't like it eventually, didn't they? <br /><br />Japan is the land of red/pink only for baby girls, and my daughter managed to decide she prefers purples and blues by the time she was three. She also says that she is never having kids or getting married (sniff)... but we'll see about that.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09508033779758406137noreply@blogger.com
