Re: headbands/bows. C'mon guys. You do not use giant flower headbands because someone once thought your baby was a boy. That is the biggest line of BS. You like the bows, just own up to it. I have boys so I can't relate 100%, but I do get asked periodically "aww, boy or girl?" And it never bothers me to say "oh, he's a boy, his name is Wes". I don't need to dress him in anything specific to prove it.
I am definitely dying to put B's hair in pigtails- he would be so cute! But I think DH would not be pleased.
+1 for dressing my little brother up like a girl. One time, we dressed him up, put makeup and a wig on him and made him ring the doorbell on our neighbor's house and introduce himself as "Kyla" (his name is Kyle). Haha my mother was not pleased. We thought it was hilarious, though.
I like headbands/bows/flowers for little girls. I get a little bit jealous when I walk into stores and see all the cute girl stuff. Some of the boy stuff is really cute too- I just feel like it is much more limited.

Good for you ?? I don't think anyone said that they use bows to prove their LO's are girls...
And even if it was implied, so what? I hate when randos ask me about any of my kids, so if I can put something in their hair to prevent questions, I will. Sorrynotsorry.
I don't care if you use bows, be my guest. I didn't say I thought they were stupid or ugly. I just think saying you do it to prevent questions was lame. You get bothered when people ask you questions about your kids? Ok, then do all the prevention you need.

I guess I just don't see why it's considered lame... It's a legitimate reason.
Because at the time of my post I didn't think it was a legitimate reason. I didn't know that it truly bothered people to talk about their kids or answer questions like if they were a boy or a girl. I guess my UO is that I don't find it awkward when people call my LO a girl and I have to correct them nor do I care if someone asks if he's a boy or a girl. It doesn't bother me even a little bit.

I never put bows on Jules and most of the time she is wearing sports clothing, unisex clothes, or a lot of times boys clothes. The only time I ever actually got bother that someone called her a boy was when she was wearing a pink onesie that said daddy's girl on it and some dude came up to her and said "Such a handsome young man" normally not bothered by it though.

I don't put bows on LO very much but even when she's been wearing pink flower headbands I've been asked if she's a boy...I done mind answering questions/talking about my kids but you can't fix stupid and I think putting bows in girls to help distinguish is a good enough reason if one wants to.
DS was rarely if ever mistaken for a girl even though he had a ton of hair
