I have a four year old daughter. She is in her princess phase. My SIL and I differ on a few things but one thing we differ on is boy and girl clothes/toys. I am not even strict with it, when Emma ( my daughter) was little she wore all types of clothes since she is baby and she doesn’t care. At the time SIL would give baby boy clothes and I didn’t care.

The issue is she keeps doing. Emma is really clearly a girly girl. She likes dresses, she plays with fake makeup, she has a fake kitchen set. She has some boy toys like trucks and what not but they collect dust. I have talked to her before

It was Emma’s birthday yesterday and SIL gave her guy clothes. My daughter made a face when she saw them. I waited until after the party to give them back. My daughter made it retry clear to me that they were ugly and won’t wear them

We got in a huge argument and she called me a jerk for staying with gender stereotypes. I am doubting myself on this.
