Boy or girl? do strangers mistake your childs gender?
I would say 9 times out of 10 someone will ask me if i have one boy and one girl
and its always Joseph.. what because he has more hair?
why am i getting upset over this, and its always Joey!!
its always...
"oh a boy and a girl?
Me.. no, 2 boys.
or this one was good..
are you sure its not a girl? it looks like a girl  
Me.. umm yea i am sure .. followed by a 
they are always dressed alike... i guess their dinosaur outfits in navy blue just threw the lady off .
i just don't get people sometimes!!
so has this happen to anyone else on a regular basis?

I have a girl and she is always mistaken for a boy even though she is always in pink. It doesn't bother me, though I must admit it can get annoying.

Someone actually asked you the mother if you were SURE about being two boys?

Re: Boy or girl? do strangers mistake your childs gender?
You had me  at 'are you sure it's not a girl?' You should have said, "Not unless girls have a penis."
I get asked if M is a boy sometimes....you know, with her hair in a pig tail, a pink outfit on, pink blanket and a pink toy hanging from her seat. I mean, really people??!!

Re: Boy or girl? do strangers mistake your childs gender?
Huh what? Joey looks totally boy!!! I GUESS it's the longer hair??? So weird. Especially since they're both always dressed like boys!
Ignore them. Or next time say, yep he's a boy, wanna see his penis?

Re: Boy or girl? do strangers mistake your childs gender?
When DD was born she had a lot of hair and comments were always about my daughter, when she lost most of her hair people thought she was a boy.
I def. think that the amount of hair plays a role in what gender people think the baby is. I went through a lot of the same comments even though she was in pink head to toe, maybe it was my gender neutral travel system

Re: Boy or girl? do strangers mistake your childs gender?
A lot of strangers think my 6 month old DS is a girl...
He has hardly any hair, but really long eyelashes...I still think he looks like a boy but many people say otherwise.
I get "wow, she is beautiful" or to my 2 year old "you have a cute baby sister".
My DH said to take it as a compliment- that he has "pretty" features..so I try not to let it bother me.

Re: Boy or girl? do strangers mistake your childs gender?
Yes a couple of times my dd has been mistaken for a boy...or I have been asked if she was a boy or a girl. I never used to put things in her hair and I didn't pierce her ears till she was 9 months old...but she would be in pink.

The cashier (older woman) told me the reason 20,000 people think Lily's a boy is because she wasn't wearing pink that day. I guess the earrings and the big azz flower on the front of her (green) shirt fooled everyone.

Re: Boy or girl? do strangers mistake your childs gender?
Strangers are always mistaking Lara for a boy  It DOES make me angry because we always dress her in either pink or purple. Who the heck would dress a little boy in pink or purple

Re: Boy or girl? do strangers mistake your childs gender?
It happens all the time. One day she was dressed in hot pink and someone asked if she was a boy. I said girl and then they go "Oh I should have realized, she's wearing pink" yeah you dumba$$.
We were team  and we only had neutral clothes for a bit. When we went to the drs. she was dressed in blue and brown (my mistake but thats what we had) but I did have bow but it fell off before the nurse saw her and said boy
I hated it, very moment. After the drs. that day I went out and bought a whole pink wardrobe!
And yes It bothers me til this day when people ask or I think about it

SERIOUSLY? you should offer to take off his diaper and prove it
I'm lucky we never had to deal with boy/girl confusion.

Re: Boy or girl? do strangers mistake your childs gender?
All the time......people say oh 2 girls, or 2 boys.....more often 2 boys.
They are always dressed in boy/girl colors and usually DD has a bow. And when they were in the snap n go, DD had a pink carseats and DS green and gray. People are so oblivious sometimes.......
