Boys Love Mom and Girls Love Dad
….and vice-versa…apparently.
There are baby clothes out there that say things like “Daddy’s little angle” or “Mommy’s little slugger.” There are tons of phrases that go along those same lines expressing how girls and dads love each other and how boys and moms love each other. It almost always follows that pattern though.
Seeing as though we seem to be having two girls, naturally, Milenka would be looking around for clothes (or even bibs) that say “I ♥ my mommy” or some such. Good luck. Nearly everything that is geared towards girls mentions dad, but not mom. There are tons of things that mention mom, but they’re all boy things. She has managed to find a couple of things that break this trend, but they’re rare. And of course, if we were having a boy, I’d be left out of the loop on that one.
But why? Do manufacturers not think that dads love their boys or moms love their girls? I know there is a stereotype of some special “father daughter” and “mother son” relationship, but I don’t really know where that comes from either. I mean, aren’t there also special “father son” and “mother daughter” relationships? Might it be better to just to think of it as some sort of a, I don’t know, parent/child relationship perhaps?
Not that any of it really matters, of course, but it just seems really strange to me.
With any luck, Milenka will still be able to love her daughters even if they aren’t wearing clothing that clearly expresses their heartfelt love for her…

How do you do that little heart thing when you’re typing?
Umm, press the ♥ key?
:)
The easiest way to do it is to use the character map thingy in windows. It should be under start -> programs -> accessories -> system tools. It will let you select special characters and copy them to the cliipboard. It’s also possible to directly enter the number of the character in ascii by holding down alt and typing the number on the keypad. You can also do the same thing using a hex unicode number….the character map shows you whats what I believe.
Speaking as someone with a younger sis, I can only say those relationships are valid. But making it almost no choice for the choice for the child, doesn’t seem fair
