Growing up, I was a stereotypical girl. My favorite toys were my Barbie and Bratz dolls, as well as my American Girl dolls. I had two American Girl dolls and more Barbies than I could count. I had a bucket full of different outfits for them, but I also had cars, houses, shoes, pets, and props for both my Barbies and my American Girls.
I could sit there for hours changing their outfits and making up stories and scenarios for these dolls. When I got a little older and had little brothers, I would play with them and their toys. It wasn't for long because once they were toddlers playing with toys, I thought I was "too cool" for that, but no matter the case, a toy was a toy, and if I liked it I was going to play with it.
Nowadays, it's like parents are so weird about what toys their children play with or ask for. To me, that's just ridiculous.
A toy is a toy.
I loved any toy I could get my hands on, really. I won't tell my daughter she can't play with dolls because of their body sizing or the fact that she has makeup on. I also won't tell her she can't play with a toy because "it's for boys." The same goes for my son.
Each child is unique, and each child is different. They all want to dress and act a certain way, and that's okay. It's the job of the parent to teach the child right from wrong, not dictate their every move.
It is okay for your child to not act like a "typical boy" or "typical girl" when they are young.
They don't always have to do the girly things or the boyish things. If you know your psychology, this is the pre-operational stage of development for children. They're learning how to play and interact as a growing toddler. This is an important stage in their cognitive development so you can't tell them 'no, you can't do that because I don't want you to.'
As a parent, I won't let society tell me how I should or should not raise my children. My future husband and I will raise our future children the way we see fit. I won't tell my child they can't have a toy or take a toy away from him/her for some silly reason. They can play with whatever Barbie, lego, baby doll, or Hotwheels car they choose.
