My father who really isn't part of my life but has to voice his opinions told me that if my 7 mo son plays with dolls and girly toys, it will influence gender identity confusion. I told him either way it shouldn't even matter! My son loves looking at the big eyes on the dolls and who cares if some rattles are pink!!! I just wanted to poll this to show and prove to him that he is utterly ignorant and pretty awful. He doesn't realize what century we are in. I will love my children no matter what they identify with!!
