Wait, I neeeeed this
7,312,802
mommit
I fucking love the image of this!! My son likes his barbie and Sylvanians to do some pretty hardcore stuff as well. But Ru Paul makes it so much better.
7,312,803
mommit
I agree to all of this and I love how you added just because you like something that isn’t the stereotype for female or males, doesn’t necessarily mean anything about someone’s sexuality
7,312,804
mommit
I can’t tell you how many of my boys in class would play with baby dolls and how many girls wanted the cars. They would literally have toddler fight club over the baby dolls.
7,312,805
mommit
At one of the daycares I worked at, one of the boys was playing with a toy broom. His dad came to pick him up and said, “Oh you won’t be needing to learn how to do that.” I felt bad for that guy’s wife.

My son's favorite color is purple (2.5 years old)! He's known for rocking purple clothes and sunglasses at his daycare haha
7,312,807
mommit
I didn’t realize that purple was a “girl” color. I thought it was gender neutral. There are pro sports teams that include purple (throwing that out there since it’s socially acceptable for boys to wear sports related clothes. I, personally, don’t give a shit)
7,312,808
mommit
Aaah my mom did that when I dressed my daughter in a dress around 6 months! "Oh she finally looks like a girl!!!!" I may have purposefully dressed her in "boy" clothes after that for every picture I sent her.... The baby is crawling no need to trip on the dresses!!
7,312,809
mommit
It was. Pink was for boys and blue for girls. Also, little boys wore dresses until what, 1800, 1850?
7,312,810
mommit
Because pink, being almost red, was considered too shocking and aggressive for little girls' delicate senses.
7,312,811
mommit
I think it may have changed because of WWII. Pink became associated with girls because gay men in Germany were forced to wear inverted pink triangles, just as Jewish people were forced to wear the Star of David. As soon as it was associated with gay men, suddenly pink couldn’t be a “boy” color anymore. So basically, ca...

Girls can wear “boy” clothes but it’s weird if boys wear “girl” clothes. That’s what I’ve come to realize having a toddler boy who wears his girl cousins hand me downs and also has a ponytail.
7,312,813
mommit
This is because of sexism. When girls like “masculine” or “boy” things, it’s seen as a step up— they like to be be “rowdy” and “tough” like boys. When boys like “feminine” or “girl” things, it is viewed as embarrassing or something beneath them.
7,312,814
mommit
That was my thought. I would have grabbed the cup right back and given it to him.
7,312,815
mommit
Hah! Love your reply so much.
7,312,816
mommit
I always find it hilarious when people think colours or toys are gonna make someone gay. I remember when I was about 6 I (female) was playing with my barbies and barbie sticker book and my male cousin of the same age was playing with me, my uncle got really cross at him and told him he couldn’t play with barbies. He co...

I love that! I'm so doing that
7,312,818
mommit
Omg thank you, im gonna use this for sure!
7,312,819
mommit
Absolutely brilliant
7,312,820
mommit
Be careful he doesn’t hear you say that— kids often actually believe things said in jest are true and could make him afraid it could happen to him
7,312,821
mommit
Watch her flip out that there's no dishes for him to use. But there's plenty, what are you talking about? Oh, they're not the colors you like? Too bad this isn't your house??! And then seriously ask if he's gonna "catch the gay" from the color of his dishes.
7,312,822
mommit
I like this. I can imagine the confused looks.
7,312,823
mommit
Nooo use it when she IS THERE! We can’t be silent about these things in front of our children. They absorb it and he shouldn’t be made to feel ashamed about liking certain things around family members.
7,312,824
mommit
My answer to the boys playing with doll houses and dolls is, "you're right, because men never have children and live in houses!"
7,312,825
mommit
This is what I say. How do colors have a gender?
7,312,826
mommit
I agree with this, but I also think clothes are clothes and it’s okay to put super girly things on a girl. It’s okay to put super girly things on a boy too. It’s okay to appreciate how cute a baby girl looks in a frilly dress, same as on a boy. They all look the same at that age anyway. I wouldn’t personally pick out ...

I could have written this myself - my first child’s nursery theme was Star Wars (but mostly Grogu as that was the big Star Wars thing at the time! First child ended up being a girl (we also waited until birth to know) and now my second baby (a boy) is also enjoying the Grogu stuff while my daughter has moved into a big...

Soooo deservedly savage lmao. I love this

Yes, but it must be the ugliest, frillyest (is that even a word?) Mumu-est pink frock on the planet!

Me too... Ohhh, Ms. Rachel... I hear her everywhere

I did too!! Lol “SO Silly!”

This is why I aggressively shop BOTH clothing sections for my kids! Kudos to Old Navy though, because they show mostly the same clothes whether or not you click ‘boy’ or ‘girl’… Target, disappointingly, has a much more binary approach.
7,312,837
mommit
Yes!! It’s adorable!!
7,312,838

Yasss! We all need a little Rupaul in our life!

I got the set for my daughter for $10 on Amazon!
7,312,840
mommit
Kids are innocent and shouldn’t be sexualized. They should be able to like and express themselves how they want to without condemnation from people who are supposed to love them unconditionally like Grandma.
7,312,841
mommit
I love that when left to his own devices my sons favorite toys are pretend power tools and rainbow sparkle mermaids. We’ve been really lucky and have very supportive family, and it makes me so happy that he doesn’t see anything weird about playing with dump trucks one minute and a doll the next. I just wish I could kee...
7,312,842
mommit
Ah, yes - being a functional human being is totally for woman only. It's definitely manly as fuck having to rely on your mom washing your undies until your properly trained wife takes over. Pfft. Asshole.
7,312,843
mommit
Yep. And the gowns were all white. Gendered toys and clothing is 100% a product of marketing.
7,312,844
mommit
Yes! And it drives me crazy to hear that from people who think they’re very progressive. “We don’t have pink and sparkles in this house.” I’m all for keeping expectations of daintiness and ladylike behavior out of your house but there is nothing inherently bad about the color pink or some glitter. Let kids wear what ...
7,312,845
mommit
Honestly - I don't give a rat's ass about what colour any cups are, but I would be pissed as all hell not just about the woman's audacity of taking away his cup, but also the fact that she is unnecessarily making more dishes for me to wash. Bitch, if you're that worried about gender stereotypes you better start washin...
7,312,846
mommit
Good point, I just said it when he was a baby and uncomprehending. But now that he’s older, it’s always safer to assume they understand *everything*

You’re right. Dresses with petticoats only!!

Oh my god. I love the lessons and what she does and stands for but Ms Rachel is full nails on chalkboard for me.
7,312,851
mommit
I might have to shop at old navy more. I tend to gravitate towards target and Walmart simply because they are close to home.
7,312,852
mommit
Yes! Old navy and gap both are pretty good about labelling clothes “gender neutral.” My son picked himself out some great pink t shirts and it was nice that we didn’t have to deal with them being on a shelf that says “GIRL.”
7,312,853
mommit
Primary is another great one — they don’t gender their clothing at all.
7,312,854
mommit
I haven’t been in an old navy yet that the toddler section was divided. I’ve moved cross country since my son was born. I’m sure the “little kids” sections are divided but thank god the toddler sections weren’t.

My son chose a bright rainbow tye-dye hat with huge rhinestones on it as his summer hat this year - he freaking LOVES his rainbow hat. When we went shopping for sunglasses a few weeks ago we couldn't find the pair of spiderman glasses that he wanted, so he settled for holographic, heart-shaped cat eye glasses which are...

I was signing songs to myself while cleaning becuase now ms rachel can just pop up anytime anywhere. "songs for littles" and "icky sticky bubble gum" aren't to bad, but when your humming under your breath "put it in put it in put it innnnnn", it sounds pretty sketchy.
7,312,858
mommit
Why did you do this to me?? I will never not sing this in my head for the rest of my life.
7,312,859
mommit
We use this as our “you interested?” Message during the day when the kids are around. We both laugh hysterically every time. Never used it IN the moment, yet.
7,312,860
mommit
Not that one
7,312,861
mommit
made my day hahaha
7,312,862

I always say that’s what she said during that segment
7,312,863
mommit
I wish I’d never read this omg that is hysterical
7,312,864
mommit
I said this to my wife once and now every time Rachel says that my wife winks at me lol
7,312,865
mommit
So not just me then. LOL!
7,312,866
mommit
Oh derp, I’m meaning that websites are less gendered. I haven’t been in stores since 2019. Lol
7,312,867
mommit
Oh that’s a smart move! Gonna do that next time
7,312,868
mommit
That is a really smart move. Lol
7,312,869
mommit
I figured that's what you meant. I just hate online shopping clothes, especially since my kids fit weird. But if a store is doing something rad, I like to give them my support.
7,312,870

This looks exhausting just watching it

Look at that squirmy little cutie thoooo
7,312,873

Omg I can't wait for my newborn to be able to grab my boob without a shit ton of help! This still looks exhausting but it would be so nice to just have her pop herself on
7,312,874
mommit
No offence to anyone who co-sleeps, but this is completely why I never did. I'm selfish and wanted my sleep. I kicked the animals out of the bed when I was pregnant, husband works a different shift so we rarely slept at the same time, and baby did not sleep with me. I just can't handle all of that! I'm also a very subm...
7,312,875

Hahaha that baby has it so good! Can you imagine sleeping every night between the people you love the most with food on tap in case you get hungry?!?!
7,312,876

I do this and wake up remembering none of it lol
7,312,877

Just want to say I respect the woman in this video so much. Like so much. My girl wakes like this if her daddy sleeps in the bed, he snores . I can't put up with the lack of sleep so he usually leaves, I miss him . I also respect her nightcap because her baby straight up yanks on it and it doesn't budge. Gotta ...

If I look very closely, I can see . . . that this is me!!!
7,312,881
mommit
I coslept with all 3 of my kids. It’s great the first 6m-1 year but after that it’s hard to night wean when theyre in your bed. It helps if dad can take over at that point.
7,312,882
mommit
OMG! This is so accurate! And just lifting the shirt, I swear I stay flinging my boobs around to feed my LO just to maintain sleep through the night lol
7,312,883
mommit
That’s a hard pass for me!
7,312,884
mommit
This baby did have a reason for more frequent waking, so I wouldn’t say this is a typical night of co-sleeping, but it does happen! I know so many parents felt seen when they saw this video.
7,312,885
mommit
Yep exact representation of how I sleep. The dad never moves, noises doesn’t even wake him up.
7,312,886
mommit
Shouldn't a 17 month old not need to feed all night at that point? My kids wouldn't latch so they were fed breastmilk by bottle but I don't think they were still having motn feedings by then..
7,312,887
mommit
Oh the accuracy(I currently have a 15 month old that is like this). Also don’t read the comments on the original post, holy crap at the negativity.
7,312,888
mommit
This is why we didn't cosleep and LO has had his own room since day one.
7,312,889
mommit
Omgggg this is my life. Thank you for posting! Reminds me my littles want to nurse all night is not unique
7,312,890
mommit
Too cute!! Oh, I wanna cuddle that little bug and kiss him all over his face!! I wish I could run my hands over his soft fluffy baby hair!
7,312,891
mommit
No one slept at all until LO was out of my room. I always wanted to co-sleep but realized I was the one keeping everyone awake. Baby made ANY sound? I was patting their back, half awake, "checking everything was okay". Without fail I'd wake the baby (followed by everyone in the house).
7,312,892
mommit
You know dad has woken up so so so many times like “oh man I didn’t get any sleep last night cause baby was squirming!” and this is exactly why we’ve now got the video evidence. Mama is tired of everyone.
7,312,893
mommit
Aww this is so sweet. We didn’t cosleep but this is legit adorable. What a special memory for mama to have to look back on! And those little baby wiggles!
7,312,894
mommit
Why I am never cosleeping, what a nightmare trying to sleep. The few times I had with my daughter (sickness) I got zero sleep Bc she was kicking me. No thank you
7,312,895
mommit
No because I felt this on every level
7,312,896
mommit
This is precious.
7,312,897
mommit
Yup. This was my night last night
7,312,898
mommit
This feels like a cautionary tale. My baby stopped feeding every 2 hours at 4 months. Imagine being a human pacifier all night long.
7,312,899
mommit
I cannot upvote this enough! 17 months old and he's still waking 2-3 times during the night for a feed while the hubby snores
7,312,900
mommit
I described it this morning as my baby’s all night buffet! I love this video- I felt so seen when I saw this and actually learned how to feed from my higher breast while sidelying from it!
