Hmm, for some reason this week is heavy on the motherhood posts .I'm okay with that, and I hope that you guys are, too. For me, as a warrior queen, the way we raise our daughters and sons are very important to me. I also believe the way we interact with children that are not our own is important. I've been noticing it a lot lately. I try my hardest to tell girls and boys to break gender stereotypes, yet when I explain the wiki sticks we have for our kid menus, I almost always tell the little girls they can make a butterfly or bracelet, rather than saying something more gender neutral.
Do you catch yourself doing things like that?
