Does anybody let their daughter have a boy theme room?

Question

My daughter is three years old. She has a beautiful princess room but could care less about it. We just bought our son a toddler bed and he is going to have disney pixar cars bedding. I know that my daughter will be jealous because that is her favorite movie so we decided to buy her a matching one for her bed. Anybody else just get their kids what they like and don't worry about the gender? When people come over to our house they always laugh and ask why she has boy stuff in her room and that we should not encourage it.

Answer 1

I think as a parent, we should support our children and let them be who they are.  Who cares what the opposers think.  It's all about making your daughter happy and comfortable in her home.  

Answer 2

yeah she can! of its like cars or blue its fine! maybe sports of she plays!

Answer 3

shes 3 yrs of age dont get bogged down with old fashioned politics

Answer 4

There's nothing wrong about it, there are just things and stuff that she enjoy during her childhood whether its boys or girls. What you will worry when she grows up is when she chose to do something or to be someone you can't agree with.

Answer 5

NOOO! She'll catch lesbianism!!

Kidding.

At least she has a theme to her room that she likes. I inherited my room from my sister so it hat weird **** painted on all the walls. Life sized murals of Jim Morrison, Eric Clapton, and Yellow submarines. Faeries. Rainbows. Wizards. Hah there was even a shelf that goes around then entire wall with a toy train on it. And a disco ball.  The curtains were nasty pistachio color, and the carpet had paint stains all over it.

Ther parents didn't let me redo the room because they thought I'd make it even more wierd.

Anyway, cars isn't really that boyish. Better than stereotypical pink.  

Answer 6

You aren't encouraging it, you're letting her have her room the way she likes. I don't think a kid's stuff should have to be gender specific.

Answer 7

Honestly, I know so many little girls that would much rather play with cars than princesses.  Cars is really not that much of a boy themed thing, so I really don't think it would be that big of a deal.  If anybody laughs, don't worry about it.  They're your kids, and they should be able to have a room that they like.

Answer 8

let her have it the way she wants, she's not going to turn out to want a gender change later in life just because she had a boyish movie themed bedroom or anything like that. toys and children's movies are not gender-specific.

Answer 9

let her have what she wants other wise it ends up a battle with her maybe for quite a few years. later on your probable find she really girlish.at this age i don't think there should be a girl/boy divide

Answer 10

I wouldn't worry about it. Most girl's a tom boyish anyways. She could be like this for a few years but when she gets older she'll be so girly. Your not encourage anything but telling her it's okay to be herself. I would not force anything girly on her if doesn't want too. Plus she has a brother that makes a difference too. She just wants to be like him.  

Answer 11

One thing I've learned as a parent is to do what feels right, makes everyone in the family happy, and doesn't hurt anyone.

Everyone else doesn't count, and their opinions don't matter.

But that's just me...

Answer 12

A girl or a boy can have any kind of decor in their bedrooms that they want.   Tell those who laugh about it that it is YOUR home and that YOU decide what your children are encouraged to do because they are YOUR children and if they don't like it to not come over any longer.
