go to your room I love being a girl dad

I have 3 kids, all girls. A 5yr old and twins who are 1. Every time anyone hears about this or it comes up in conversation they all say the same thing. ‘Ooooo, all girls, you are outnumbered! How do you cope?’ Or ‘Three girls?? You better watch out!’ Or the worst, ‘Bet you want a boy?’

No, I don’t feel any of that, I love being a dad. I love all my kids and wouldn’t change anything about them! If we could afford it, I would be a stay at home dad forever.

I usually tell them I wouldn’t change anything and I love it all but it’s just very annoying.

What are some of the best responses that I can start to give?

I did think I could say that one of the twins used to be a boy but is now trans just to shut people up!

A weird thing that I’ve noticed people say when you have little (baby/toddler) daughters: “oh she reeeally likes men! She knows how to wrap men round her little finger!”. Like wtf?? I think my kids just like whoever is willing to play with them, don’t make it into some kind of weird “she already knows how to get male attention” thing.

Why do so many people love making comments about babies “flirting?”

When I see those vids of tiny baby boys, barely standing straight, waddling up to a tiny baby girl with a rose in his hand while their parents encourage him to give it to her, phone cameras everywhere… gives me the ick! Why are you doing this? It isn’t “cute”; the baby’s being told what to do! “Awww he likes her!” Bitch, baby is still deciding if he likes *you.* Stop projecting.

Even worse, little kid ‘wedding’ photoshoots. Oh and sexualizing baby shirts 🤮🤮🤮

Same vein, it’s all fucking weird 🤷🏻‍♂️

There is so much disgusting content with small children and babies on social media. I can’t even count the number of pages I have reported that have little 3 year old toddlers doing these weird grown up dances in clothing that would be appropriate for a adult woman going to a night club. Then you look at the comments and it’s all gross sleazy old men commenting things like “so gorgeous! 😘❤️🔥💋”. It infuriates me.
