✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

I see this with my boys as well. They call EVE from Wall-E 'Girl Robot', and when they have similar toys where one is bigger than the other, like two trains or busses, one becomes 'Daddy Bus' and the other becomes 'Mummy Bus'.

I ask them why EVE is a girl or why the smaller bus is the Mummy Bus but I don't get an answer from them yet. I hope they think about it a bit more though and I can talk to them about it some more when they're older.
