Blue used to be for girls as it was seen as more “dainty,” while pink used to be associated with boys as it was seen as the stronger color. It didn't change until the 1950s when some big advertising campaigns pushed pink as a feminine color exclusively for girls.
Man I should offer lessons on adulting. Lesson 1, nobody is doing it well, everyone is faking. Lesson 2, we're all jealous that you're still a child, milk that shit. Lesson 3, stop listening to old man complain, go have fun.
Whats funny to me is people who want for their kids something they see inadequate in themselves. Like obviously as a man you can't teach your kids to be a man then you must not know how.......
I kinda feel like that's the entirety of good parenting. Some things have higher or lower priorities, but ideally, I want my children to be more competent than me in everything I know how to do and more.
I see that as a recipe for failure. Expectations are fine but when you expect for from someone else than you do yourself. Well that hypocrisy and will lead to either hate or neroticism. Every parent should just want their kids to be happy.
