Dads Patch Season 2 Episode 2 - That's for girls, Dad‪!‬ Dad’s Patch

Dads Patch Season 2 Episode 2 - That's for girls Dad! Earlier this week I was at the toy store with Taylor and I'd promised to buy him a toy for being super awesome. Whilst looking endlessly around the store and suffering rejection after rejection to the ideas I presented, I was taken aback by his answer with being presented a My Little Pony toy. Now he had only been watching the My Little Pony show that same morning but he told me "That's for girls Dad". When I asked him why, he just told me that everyone knows My Little Pony is for girls. Neither Anj or I had ever really suggested something was for boys or girls specifically but then it dawned on me that society had been sending Taylor this message ever since he was born. In this episode I talk about how we might try as hard as we can to bring up our kids to be open minded but society has its own preconceived ideas for our kids.
