Do we push gender roles?!

No matter what you do as a parent someone is always judging you, even if it's what truly works best for your family. A big thing our family seems to get heat for is teaching gender roles. It's something I honestly don't think we do, but other people seem to believe that by allowing our children to express themselves we are pushing gender roles on them. I highly disagree. You see, by allowing our children to like whatever they want, as long as it's not hurting them or anyone else, we are showing them gender doesn't matter for these things. People seem to have issues with it when you allow your little girl, who is highly princess obsessed, to have all the princess toys she wants. I don't understand why it's an issue, but it seems to be. When we address something as "the girls" it's not because our boys can't play with it, it's because it was gifted to one of the girls. Our kids are seriously allowed free range of playing with their toys. I am not going to buy our boys dolls just to prove a point, they prefer guns and cars(Monster Trucks to be specific) and I'm not going to buy our girls things they don't want. Honestly this whole "gender specific" stuff is killing me, you can't have everyone be equal if it's a crime for girls to like girl things. I seriously pray for the day that this conversation no longer has to happen and we can just all live our lives happily and not worry so much about how other people raise their kids. I am beyond happy to say our kids are happy with their lives and how we are raising them and in the end that's really all I want.
