But now that...hmm, I never really thought about it. But now that you mention it, it's true. I call my girls princess sometimes (not often) I call my sons bubby and tank. And I think one time I brought up the 'you are a prince/princess' to them at FHE and my boys just kind of crinkled their noses like "eww mom" Maybe boys are just more self assured? But I don't think all girls have low self-esteem either.

(or is that just me making stuff up) imagine if they flipped it. i think women would all go home and commit suicide and men would have even bigger egos than they already do. ok, but that is men & women. boys and girls - yeah, i'm not sure about that. i think it's weird that boys clothes have dogs and girls clothes have cats. weird! aren't there boy cats and girl dogs? <BR/>but yeah, i agree about the boys stereotype being off - cause girls are NOT that nice. and i feel like if someone says they have all boys - they get pity looks and if they have all girls - not so much. what gives?Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123717001120534770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616717.post-639265753439609442008-11-19T13:44:00.000-07:002008-11-19T13:44:00.000-07:00i'm with you. i hate snakes and don't care for dog...i'm with you. i hate snakes and don't care for dogs. (snails i could care less about) but i love sugar and spice... yet i'm a straight man!<BR/><BR/>while we're at it, why is it ok for a girl to be a diva where a boy, acting the same way, is loud, obnoxious, attention-starved, flamboyant, and annoying?<BR/><BR/>why can't boys be fun, creative, expressive and enthusiastic without it being adhd or spoiled or just a plain pain in the butt?<BR/><BR/>so go ahead, call little girls whatever you want, just don't dis little boys!<BR/><BR/>i guess i'm a little jealous and bitter too...big dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764669234820842141noreply@blogger.com
