Raising kids is HARD

[molly_o]

A month or so ago, we bought the BG some sneakers. They light up with each step she takes and they have Spiderman on them (or 'Fiderman, as she likes to call him), and she LOVES them.

Except apparently some unnmamed kids have been telling her that Spiderman shoes are for boys, not for girls.

So we've talked about how you don't need a p@n1s to wear Spiderman shoes, you just need to like Spiderman.

And we've talked about how, even though most of the kids she sees wearing Spiderman shoes are boys, there are plenty of girls who like Spiderman.

But she hasn't ever *met* any of those girls -- which is where y'all come in.

Shamelessly copying from that mom whose daughter likes Star Wars: If you are a girl or woman on my f'list who likes Spiderman, can you comment here? And if you know a girl or woman who likes Spiderman, can you ask her to comment here?

I'm NOT looking for this to go viral or move off of DW/LJ -- I just want to be able to point to this screen and say to the BG, "See, every one of these little pictures here belongs to a girl or woman who likes Spiderman, just like you."
