Babies in blue and pink.

yes my son will be wearing everything blue and a boys jacket and they will say ohh she is so cute. I have now asked them why do you think its a girl and they say due to his eyes and his curly hair. Im not goin to cut it because people cant comprehend that by his outfit hes a boy. I do get upset but its just mostly stupidity I believe. So I know how you feel

My boys were often in blue and I would always get comments about "her". Although it's hard to bite your tongue and not say something about it - I've always gone with replying to their question they way I would if they had used the correct term to start off with. As frustrating as it is, I've kinda noticed that most people are totally embarrassed for not using the correct term when they realise they've gotten it wrong.

Yes I know what you mean. It was very frustrating for me too. When my daughter was born she had no hair. I was so excited to have a girl. She was always in pink, I had her little ears pierced...she always had little earrings in her ears, and I literally glued (sugar glue)a little bow on the top of her head. Do you know that there were still people who came up and looked at her and said, 'Oh HE's a precious baby." I wanted to cry. I too, politely corrected them, although it was hard not to call them idiots!

Oh, I dress my little girl in all pink & people say "Oh, HE is so cute & How old is HE" After awhile of so many peopel doing this, finalyl I just said to one lady "Really, did you dress your boys in pink?" I know it's not a big deal that someone thinks your kid is a boy-- when she isn't.. but, I mean com'on. It's like--if you don't know-- don't say anything. I don't know why, but I do take an offense to it, because it makes me feel bad like I don't have them dressed well enough to make them look like what they are :) It's silly I know, but so many people do this on a continuing basis!

I love to look at babys too and have a method around this so that I dont make a dill of myself and insult the parent. If im not sure if the baby is a boy or girl, i just say to the parent 'your baby is gorgeous' then i will say 'how old is your baby. That way 99% of the time, the parent will say he/she is and then tell you the age. But normally if a baby is in pink or in a pink blanket, you have to wonder how people come to the conclusion the baby is a boy. My boys sometimes got mistaken for girls. Dont ask me how if they are dressed in all blue with a blue blanket.

I didn't used to dress my little girl in pink all the time and then she rubbed off all her hair and people kept calling her a boy. As a child my mum used to cut my hair so short that people thought I was a boy and I hated it so I didn't want it to happen to her. So I dressed her in pink colours all the time after that. People still sometimes called her a boy, and I used to correct them and often say, she is wearing pink or some such thing to make them realise. It is hard not to be rude sometimes.

I don't have any children but people used to do this with my little brother. I am five years older than him and when he was an infant the both of us were at a lady's house who sat with all the neighborhood children. Another parent came to drop off her kids and said "Oh what a cute little sister you have." I looked up at her and said, "This is my brother, he is a boy because he has a peepee." She was shocked but started laughing.

Yes, as a matter of fact, it just happened yesterday! My 8 month old daughter was dressed in all pink with a purple bib on. This older woman came up to me while I was in the store and asked me what my son's name was. I said "HER name is Jasmine." They apologized and commenced to say how cute she was. I think this woman was a bit too old because every now and then she would say 'he' instead of 'she'. My mom told me that when I was younger that people would do the same to me and my brother. She had put a shirt on my brother that said "BOY" on it and old ladies would say, "Oh she's so cute!" So it's not just you, and it seems it's been happening for a while now.

I have had this problem with two of my son's. When my 13 year old was little, I would have him dressed up in boy cloths and he would still be called a girl. My 4 year old, it's the same thing. I think because they look so much like me. I politely correct them. My thought is look at their clothing and if in doubt, just say what a beautiful baby.

You know the genderization of colors amazes me. In the early 1900's it was little boys who wore pink and girls who wore blue. People saw pink as a strong color (cousin to red a fierce color). Blue was interpreted as dainty and delicate. It wasn't until after WWII when the colors were reversed. It followed the whole ROsie the Rivetor goes back to Susie Homemaker and "Father Knows Best" time of thinking. I would have no problem dressing a boy in a pink shirt, but never pants, jacket and all! Pink is just not a masculine color for me like many of you. But what would you do if your darling baby boy grows up and like s pink? Will you discourage him from wearing the color?

Some people must just be dumb. That's my conclusion anyway. When my son was about 6 months old, we had a waiter that asked if we wanted something for our daughter. This was said moments after he had read our son's shirt that said "I'm the little brother." And the waiter was definitely referring to our son because our "daughters" that are the big sisters, were all at home since they are dogs and a cat. I often wonder if people really pay any attention to our babies, or if they just say "Oh what a cute little (insert girl or boy, whichever is wrong)" without looking.

My son would have blue blankets on him and still people would call him a girl. Even now he still gets called a girl and I dress him in boys clothing. He is almost a year old and I am very poliete about it but yes it does get frustrating.

i have, my daughter was in a pink dress. and she has her ears pierced. she was about 18 months and had a pink coat on. and someone still called her a boy. i coulnd't beleive it. i'm like how many boys do you see wearing a dress.

i have many people refer to my daughter as a boy and she has a pink car seat! lol its normaly the older adults that do that. mainly old men. so i just shrug it off.

My fiance and I have talked about this a lot. We aren't big fans of pink. So we're going to use blue and green if the baby is a boy and we'll use purple and yellow if the baby is a girl.

babies in blue indicates congenital heart disease esp when it still turns during cry or while feeding but those babies in pink is good bcoz it indicates that they have sufficint blood and their pinkness is due to fair color

ask them if your daughter is beautiful...don't angry to them, coz if you are angry it means that your quality of life is low..try it, gut luck

I see in india also Babies from born they are in blue colour and girls born in pink colour.it is a very disaster for their parents why they are not in skin colour..

My daughter is usually always dressed in pink too, people dont call her a boy, but they still ask if she is a boy or a girl. WHY on earth would i dress a little boy in so much pink. i feel your frustration. maybe these people have never had children and just dont know any better. or maybe they were dropped on their heads when they were children themselves. or MAybe they are just trying to strike up converstaion and this is the best they can do. I am always polite too. but in the back of my mind i'm thinking, What the heck is this person new?!

in my opinion boys should b blue as you say but girls should be green
