Oh how I hear you Rachel! This is exactly why we lived a whole year in camping on the road with our girls. I can’t get enough of that simple camping life… Yes, this *is* the education I want for my girls!

“i so often get inquiries along gender lines, and i just play dumb.”
Love this mb!
I’ve put stuff on freecycle and had people ask similar things:
Is it a girls or boys infant seat?
You mean, does it have vaginas or penises on it?

love it! just another mama who has always encouraged her son’s love of pink (and orange, red, green and brown). i sew dinosaurs on pink baby bibs; same concept. and when i sell baby items, i so often get inquiries along gender lines, and i just play dumb. i let them know that i am open to making them whatever color or style of diaper they want, and that it doesn’t matter to me what gender their baby is. i hope it’s that one person at a time ripple effect thing, and that as a whole, society will get over it eventually. ps quinn likes barbies.

It always takes so much time to comment:) but this post is worth it. Esp. the part about the kids growing up and helping set up camp and cook!!! YAY. It’s terrible, and wonderful at the same time, having our kids grow up. Lovely writing,
Tricia
