My mom and dad are having a huge arguement over the Christmas gift she bought my nephew. Dad says its a "girl" gift, and mom says that now they try to teach boys to be sweet and emotional. The gift is a Fur Real Pet, for those of you not in the know, its a stuffed animal that you feed, and it hugs you, etc. Its cute, but is it appropriatefor a little boy? I have no idea. I just saw the box, and there's pictures of little GIRLS holding it and playing with it, only one token boy photo and he was just looking at his sister playing with it.

This whole "dilemma" has got me wondering, what does everyone think of kiddie toys.... is it ok for a boy to play with dolls and do things typically deemed as "girly"? My mom also got my nephew fake food to play in his little Playhouse kitchen. Dad is really not liking that one

Do you think we need to keep the lines clear" boy and girl? Or do you think we do need to make kids more even?

I honestly have no opinion on this! LOL
