I was not good with hair, either. I just did the best I could. On the other hand, a hairstyle like Suri’s is good, because you don’t have to do anything but comb her hair; it’s a cute style, too. I had to put spongy rollers in my daughters’ hair. Their dad was better at styling than me!! They are now 32 and 31. Good luck, Lindsey!!

I personally just have never been into wearing makeup, I don’t like the way it feels, and I don’t really like wearing dresses/skirts, I never have, although I have been more into dressing up now that I am a bit older (I’m 21), I just enjoy being comfortable, and jeans, and a nice shirt are the best way for me. I’m also not into jewelry, I think it gets in the way. I think hobbies can range across the board whether you are male/female, its just the shaping of the culture that says “its a boys thing only” or “girls thing only” .

I knew she would be a girl (mothers intuituion) but I insisted that I would be having a boy! I have never been one to do my own hair, I had dreadlocks up until right before I got pregnant, I have even gone so far as to shave my head several times in my lifetime. I was mortified!!! How the heck was I going to do this baby girls hair?? poor kid would be doomed….

Well, my baby girl was born BALD, completely and totally BALD, not even the little fuzz that most babies have. She stayed bald for about 2 years, hehehe. It all works out in the end :) Oh, and now that she is 4 1/2 she enjoys doing her own hair, she doesn’t even want me to try!

I was recently in a kids’ toy store, in the girls section – yeah, that must be intimidating for someone who’s never been into stuff like that lol

that picture is very sweet!

I’m expecting a girl soon and am actually pleased to see a celeb being honest about their reaction when they found out what they were having – yes I would rather have a boy because it would be easier but who says the tomboy mum won’t rise to the challenge?

That a woman whose hair and makeup is not her first priority wishes she were born a male?! That’s even offensive to men lol!

I really want a girl to put in dresses and bows and to play dress up and princesses and barbies with and I wonder, what if my daughter is a tomboy? I will probably make her do that stuff anyway lol because it’s fun for me!

Although I’m sure Lindsay was joking, I believe all parents should be open minded and encourage their children to be whoever it is they are. What if she DOES have a girly girl? Will she refuse to by her pink because SHE would never wear it??

I wear jeans and tee shirts and I am far from a girly girl. And, umm, never one day in my ENTIRE life did I ever wish to be male…thats insulting. I don’t care if people get it or not. Its a matter of differing styles. I am also a mom to 3 girls and I do their hair every day and they are very girly. I love it. It’s just not for me..
