Do you ever feel guilty?

i did try to find a little girl stuffed animal as a valintine "date" for dexter but couldnt find one either...

Well, you are very lucky there! That's one thing I wish...I wish *I* knew how to make my OWN stuff for Stedman....then my problems would just be solved! LOL. I tell ya, it would be ALOT easier than trying to search everywhere for cute things and usually coming up empty handed

I have the same problem everyone is having finding anything cute or different for boys. So, I do end up buying more for Ruby, but I don't feel guilty necessarily. I don't think Reno minds too much, he would just as soon not wear clothes anyway.

It was the same problem with my two sons when they were younger. I would go into the stores and see rack after rack, row after row of sweet little girl things.......only to see the same 2-3 lonely racks of boys striped t-shirts, polo style, sports t-shirts, cartoon characters shirts, jeans and khaki pants.

Hahaha. So true I honestly don't think Stedman gives a you-know-what In fact, as long as he has his toys, and his treats - he is pretty much a happy little camper! Now if I didn't buy him new toys...he might be a little mad at me Cause Steddy LOVES his toys, always has! But he has about two toy boxes FULL of them (and tons in the spare bedroom as well)...so he is covered there With the clothes though - he doesn't mind wearing them, but I think it's like a "take it or leave it" kinda thing if you know what I mean LOL. He DOES appreciate a warm sweater when it's cold though (which he ALWAYS has ), cause little Stedman freezes very easily

Well at least you don't feel guilty! I WISH I didn't....but I can't lie - I do Stedman is just so darn SWEET....he is the best little boy ever and I just feel AWFUL when I walk in the door with a bag for Tatum and (sometimes) have nothing for Stedman I usually ALWAYS try and get him SOME kind of toy at least, because Stedman gets very, very excited when he sees me walking through the door with a plastic bag as he always thinks that there is going to be a toy inside for him I guess in all honesty I shouldn't really feel bad about it as long as I get him SOMETHING...such as a toy, which I usually always do (except for today, but there was just absolutely NOTHING that I liked)...and as I said in the post above, Stedman doesn't mind wearing clothes, but it's not like he's going to be upset if he doesn't get any.

OK - I think I am seriously starting to lose it here We ARE after all talking about dogs...geez, I am talking about them like they actually KNOW what clothes are or something. Good grief

I have two little girls, and they have matching outfits, but I buy things I know the larger, Maggie (10 lbs), will look good in. Then I look for the smaller version of it for Bailey (4 lbs.) It's just that Magpie was my first yorkie and she'll always be my special baby. I love Bailey with all my heart,
she's my cuddle bug. But Maggie is the Original!! Does that make sense??

Awww, I know what you mean. I think that's ANOTHER big reason why I feel so guilty. Stedman (my male) was my first Yorkie also and I always think to myself, "omg...what if HE thinks I am spoiling her more??" - I know that sounds so retarded, but I swear I DO think it. I can't help it I just love them both so much that I don't want either of them to feel jealous or sad My hubby always tells me to hush up, that they are BOTH WAY too spoiled as it is and that I should just chill out over it LOL.

I totally get what you mean though...there is ALWAYS that "special bond" with the first, "original" baby

Guilty here also!!! Sasha has 3 drawers full of dresses, sweater, etc...Poor Seth has a few things thanks to Jody and Carol but not much.
Sasha is dressed everyday and Seth is not. I like everyone else try but there are not as many things for boys and believe me I LOOK.

[browniesmom622]

Having 3 boys i know it can be hard But they have draws fulls of clothes & they really couldnt care if there toys are pink lol
we go by squeek & funness lol

i do feel bad sometimes Austin has a carseat & stroller & comes EVERYWHERE with me
& its not possible to take the other 2
they dont seem to care tho they just take a nap


Mabee stedman wants to be nekky !?
Mabee he likes the color Pink !?

I get so frustrated too when I see so many cute things for girls. But Samson barely puts up with me putting a sweater or a hoodie on him when we go out. So I just satisfy my need to spoil him by over doing it with buying him toys. He loves having soooo many toys. He's got TWO toy boxes that he just loves to jump in and bury himself in. But it sure would be nice to have more cool stuff for boys.

i only have one so i cant say..but i know that when it comes to even skin boys there arent as many nice things as a girl..girls have dresses and bows, etc its harder for a boy...i dont blame u for feeling guilty but its not ur fault its the fault of the stores and desingers they should make more things for furbaby boys..

I have two boys so I don't feel guilty about buying more for one and not the other, I just hate not being able to find anything and I hate ordering everything I buy for them. I stocked up on a bunch of sweaters from wal-mart that were $5.00 and I have all the maxamillion stuff.
