I get so aggravated that my friend doesn't encourage her daughter to go outside and play like she does her son. They are twins and are four years old. They have a swing set and a big trampoline outside. When the son goes out to play her daughter is talking on her toy phone, and taking care of a baby doll. ONce I went over there and I watch her daughter spend a bright, sunny and warm day in the house playing mommy. She made breakfast for her dolls, dressed them, dresed herself, put on makeup, cleaned with a toy vacuum, washed clothes in a toy washer, etc... and my friend doesn't see anything wrong with it. The way I see it girls usually mature fast anyway, why not encourage her to enjoy her childhood by exploring things other than what mom does all day. Its really not my place but I would not raise my daughter like that. I don't think she is a bad mother but stuff like that bothers me. how do you feel about this?
