Budsie isn't the best, they aren't super accurate in design or colors but as far as Eduardo goes, i feel like he's simple enough that it'd be hard to mess up and for this specific thing, i feel like it's fine
Natalie Moreno like that is all the comments and J Ville’s Just said to make a clothing line and said nothing about gender neutral, so this comment is fully original
@@nataliemoreno6921 so many people have commented that though. I wasn't looking at the comments and thought that myself. It was an obvious conclusion. Calm your tits dear.
Just don't think about it as sections. If you see some cute "girls" outfits with ruffle butts, you can just buy it for Flynn. You don't have to have a clothing piece to be specifically branded for boys to buy it.
Colleen you have been GLOWING in every video lately, Parenthood looks so good on you sis. It was so hard to watch you go through your rough pregnancy and it seems like you are genuinely happy and healthy again! Of course, you are gorgeous regardless, but I am living for your glow.
bob joe okay when people are rude and negative like this it makes me so annoyed. if you don’t have anything kind or positive to say than don’t say anything at all. nobody cares to hear your negative opinions. people want to share about their life and their experiences and you don’t need to ruin that.
Xandria Page oooh I’d love to see Jessica involved too. Especially since Parker loves to dress up in frilly sparkly things and dress up like Miranda and stuff.
If you like the ruffle butt outfits, get them for Flynn. I love you Colleen and mostly agree with what you're saying here but you're the one ranting about gender stereotypes, but won't get him a cute outfit because they don't "have it for boys"? What would it look like if it was "for boys"??
Geneva Driedger I think she means it in the way that she wants her son to wear pink/purple etc but when it says “princess” and stuff like that it’s not the same
If I had to guess they probably don’t have colors that match the “boy color” outfits. Shit, even finding plain leggings without patterns or designs for my daughter is impossible at most stores. It’s ridiculous bruh
Jayme Carter Well um I don’t think girls should wear pants with a pee hole for boy’s private parts also boys and girls bodies are very different from each other. I would put my boy and girl in all colors but I wouldn’t put a boy who has a very different body than a girl in the same clothes🙄
Maribel Reg me too I heard my sister saying she picked the purple and pink bottles because we’re girls and the other blue and green bottles ( which I wanted) were for boys I got so angry
Those sterotypes are perpetuated on CZcams. Just look at all the prank channels that lift up the most annoying obnoxious rude behavior and other channels that are nothing but shallow superficial beauty and shopping channels. Kids are glued to CZcams with little parental supervision.
I don't see a huge problem with the "girl" clothes. Aren't princesses strong, empowering women? And having words like "beautiful" and "cute" aren't necessarily telling them that they HAVE to care about their looks, it can mean that they ARE beautiful and cute, because every female is. I think it's a sweet message that will make young girls feel confident.
omg! keep in mind stereotypes!!! she means that she doesn't like the way that society and stores choses what people should like. colleen likes pink and that is her preference. all she is saying is that she does not like how stores just make it so they chose what colors people have to wear. colleen likes pink and so what! it is not any different from a boy liking blue. even though yes, it is the stereotypical color, but she can still like it and disagree with gender stereo types because it is her color preference.
I completely agree with the stereotypes of shirts and how it is an issue, however, nothing is stopping you from shopping in the girls section for Flynn!!
it's not that, its bc why is it only in the girls section or why is it only in the boys section, why isn't there diversity on the clothes.... wish she can make her own clothing line it would be so cool
I’m just curious. Who dictates what makes clothing officially “girls” or “boys”? If you like a romper that’s a “girls”.....just get for Flynn! I completely agree with and respect your thoughts/fight, but I’m just confused as to why you didn’t buy any “girls” clothes if you liked them so much....
But there have been improvements I believe :) as in toys that aren’t labeled or putting all the the options together in the store so that people will be more inclined to make the choice that suits them:)
I completely agree with you and understand your point that its a very annoying issue and it needs to be fixed. In theory you could just buy the “girl clothes” for him and ignore that it’s “for girls”
Kennedy Henderson I don’t really know what you mean, because baby’s usually grow out of clothes in a couple months anyway, so boy or girl clothes they should fit and grow out of them the same as they would usually
On her insta rant she showed a pic of the "girl clothes" and literally the ONLY topics on the clothes were "I'm pretty" and about the girl's appearance
Maybe I'm weird but why doesn't Colleen just go to the "girl" section and buy a purple shirt for Flynn??? I do it all the time for my daughter mainly b/c she's not into princesses but wants to wear shirt w/ her fave characters so I buy her stuff in the "boys" section all the time. If u want ur son to wear all colors but him whatever I want. I get she most likely wldnt want to get stuff that said like "girls rule" or "daddy's princess" but there are tons of plain oneies she did buy. No one is forcing her to buy clothes solely from the "boys" section no one will arrest her for buying her son a plain purple shirt so just do it. Ur the one "making" urself buy these clothes no one else. Shop wherever u want.
@Microphone12 singingsista But she has complained on many other occassions that you can't get pink and sparkles in the boys section..She might have added a new lean to it here, but she does say exactly what the commenter said she's saying, all the time.
she can. shes said that she has/will if she find the clothes cute. but thats not the point, its just not the best that it is only pink and purple clothes in the girls section and only blue grey and green in boys. as if there are feminine and masculine colors only for a certain gender.
Olive Laura yaaaa but tnere is where it starts everything like the descriptions like cutie girl sparkle explosion they are toooooooo much there is no middle clothes or they are sparkle and neon pink or they are green and grey saying brave and etc blablabla😒
There is no rule that you have to buy clothes based on the gender of your child. If you see something bright and colourful, Buy it! The only difference in any of the clothing is what section of the store you get it from (Girl/Boy) I feel like that should be the point of your argument, Otherwise, Buying clothing because they don’t make the cute stuff you want like the frilly onesies because it’s not for boys, Is doing what you’re saying you wish would change. Be an example of that change and buy the things you want! There’s not much room to rant if you don’t.
Like I get what you’re saying and stuff and you can totally do that,, Ik people do it,, but what Colleen is saying is she wishes that there was just no difference in the sections kind of,, like she wishes that all genders were treated the same like if you say a girl walking down the street in a sparkly pink shirt most people wouldn’t care but if it was a guy wearing a shirt like that then he’d probably get some weird looks and I’m not saying you would be someone looking at him weirdly but I’m just trying to say that if you are going to the ‘girl’ section it’s not really making as much as a difference as trying to help make it less spilt into genders 🤷🏻♀️
if you want flyn to have more variety in his colors and ruffle buts, cant you just buy some stuff at the girls section? ps: love how you manage to vlog every day so far 😊
Friedi Felau that was my thought too- My niece (5) shops in the ‘boy’ section because she likes clothes with dogs on them- I also shopped in the boy section when I was younger if there was something I wanted
Gamers Rock wow did you even watch the video? You’re missing the point. Why should the color of clothing indicate your gender? Girls and boys should be able wear whatever colour they want, and it’s taking clothing companies a while to catch on to that unfortunately. They are just colours!
I was thinking the same thing. Be the change-- smash the gender stereotypes! I don't think Parker's getting his sparkly leotards from the boy's section either!
@@dannidryden5471 she said all the girls clothes were covered in slogans she didn't like. And she also said at the beginning that he does already have pink clothes. Try listening.
It shouldn’t have, it’s nonsense. We bought a “boys” shirt from a kids store that says “raised by strong women”. There’s plenty of things for kids and parents to choose from...🙄
Me: Is she going to get a spoon Colleen: **downs apple sauce** Me: Okay then I'm going to go in the comment section now Thank you for all the likes I never got this many before
She’s talking about how they’re so separated. Society enforces the idea that girls need to be feminine and men need to be masculine, even by making separate clothing sections for boys and girls. It makes it seem like there needs to be a distinction, but in reality they’re children and then should be able to go into a store and pick out whatever they like without having to go to a certain section. We should be teaching children that gender is a fluid spectrum
I`m a girl who hates pink, purple, and sparkles I love the color green, blue, white, and like to race People call my a tomboy and I don`t care I`m just proud of who I am
I’m a woman who likes pink, green and purple. I like sparkles in moderation. I don’t like wearing makeup and never really have. I like video games and D&D. I don’t like sports. I love the arts. I don’t like cooking or cleaning. I am a woman who likes what I like, some things stereotypically feminine, some stereotypically masculine. And I’m glad you enjoy the things that you like too!
My daughter is almost 6 now and when she was 1 and 2 she LOVED Elmo but they only made Elmo clothes for boys and not girls. We didn't care that they were "boys" and she loved her all her Elmo clothes and Elmo bedding!!
Why do you shop exclusively in the boy section when you like the ruffle butts and you want Flynn to have other colors? Is there a sizing difference or something?
Exactly. Why won’t you just buy him “girl” clothes. And literally every single piece of cloths that you bought is blue, gray and with dinosaurs... I feel like Coleen is just bored rn looking for some drama.
Hey Colleen, If you’re keen on unisex onsies, a brand in Australia called Bonds does some really nice ones in all sorts of colors. I think they ship worldwide. Also, really enjoying watching your videos. You’re doing an amazing job as a new mumma!
There is a little boy that goes to the same place as I do for gymnastics and he literally inspires me. Every day that he goes you can always find him in sparkly black leggings or bright hot pink leggings. I’m pretty sure he is my spirit animal 😂
I agree! My son is now 6 and from the time that he has been able to pick his own loves I have left him. His favorite color is purple and he says that his second favorite is pink! He is still a boy boy who just loves what the loves.
I get what you’re saying. I actually study this in grad school. What I don’t understand, is that you had the opportunity to buy non-blue and green clothes and chose not to. You could have bought him an all pink outfit and instead you seem to choose not to and feel victimized by this choice. If you want him to wear ALL colors then let’s see him in ALL colors.
@@fran509 Yes, that was a huge part of what she talked about. And I totally get that. However, when she found pink clothes without those messages on them she didn't buy them, despite saying that there was nothing wrong with boys wearing pink. She can dress her son in pink and purple and chooses not to- she is not a victim yet seems to see herself in this light.
Danielle Calder my main problem is she pretty much lied. Yes, their clothes includes those sayings and even those colors, but they also include all the things she claims they don’t. They have clothes with statements praising intelligence and even shirts in support of LGBT. They have pastels and pinks and purples for boys in both shorts and shirts. Either the store she went to was very small and select or her own bias kept her from really looking and seeing. She’s too concerned with making a blanket statement against clothing “norms” to see that she wasn’t even hitting the mark. And as you stated she could have easily bought any of those outfits or clothing items that were plain, but she chose not to.
This is what I thought as well. I get that she's mad that blue/green/gray/"it's okay to be a brat" is marketed to boys and purple/pink/"my looks are the only thing that matters" is marketed to girls. I 100% agree with that. My problem with her is that she said "I couldn't find any purple/pink for my son!" when she could easily just... buy them! She is already mad at the marketing but it doesn't mean she has to listen to it.
This is something I also studying in college. And it's weird to me that ppl that rant about this topic allow CLOTHES to impact how their kids are raised. YOU ARE THE PARENT. NOT THE CLOTHES.
I think you're over thinking the clothes. Messages, colors, or glitter/sequence on clothes don't create the child...parenting does. And it doesn't mean your a bad parent if your son wears a sarcastic shirt where he's labeled a 'trouble maker'...and it doesn't make you a good parent if your daughter is wearing a shirt that says 'future president of the united states.' None of that matters to kids or to parents, except those that focus way to much on things. Calling out the store, means calling out the millions of parents that bought their child one of those shirts, and shamed them for it. It's okay that your opinion is strong, and that you are passionate about it and shared it with us...just don't put down others with your opinion. I don't care if girls wear pink, blue, or if everyone wears all grey in their life. We teach our kids confidence in themselves, and respect for others with a different opinion/value/faith/belief system than our own. So if parents want to buy their daughters shirts that say princess, beautiful, unicorn poop...than so be it. Or encouraging messages, that's awesome too! But we don't teach our kids to judge others based on what they are wearing, but on who they are.
Very well said. It's pathetic that she's using her young child as a platform to spout off her political views. Babies don't have the slightest clue of what is written on the front of their shirt. A girl wearing something saying, "cutie" or a boy wearing a shirt saying, "trouble maker" is not sending a negative message to other kids, it's meant to be cute and funny. Kids are too young to have any understanding or knowledge about sexism and social justice. She's just trying to sound high and mighty by publicly expressing a politically correct opinion. The over sensitivity in America has gotten out of hand.
Yes! I don't remember what any 1 shirt said growing up.. I remember the experiences with my mom and how she raised me, but not what my shirt said. (Which I'm sure would have been princess and things very girl)
This comment should be higher. They’re just clothes. Like.... what? Buy whatever clothes you want for your kids. The sayings/colors of the clothes will not influence them or teach them anything.
I really don’t get your commentary on the clothing. it’s OK for boys to be very boyish, just like it’s OK for girls to be extra girly. If you want neutrality then do that for your child. There’s nothing wrong with any of the statements on those shirts. if we learned our life lessons from a T-shirt slogan, then I would be very concerned as well. Until then, I don’t really understand what you were trying to say.

Aaron Stark I totally agree. It’s actually infinitely infuriating to hear her rant about something that I don’t think she understands. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but to claim that there’s something wrong with the typical clothing they sell at stores for babies is so frustrating. None of what they wear is going to somehow affect them later unless they don’t have parents doing their jobs. Most people dress their boys like boys, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I think it’s so selfish for her to act like she’s the spokesperson on this or that she’s so knowledgeable on the topic. Who gets mad over a slogan that says “tools” ugh. I just don’t understand.
I think I read somewhere that Celine Dion has or is coming out with a clothing line that is gender neutral? Maybe you should check that out for Flynn 😊
No, that is seriously some satanic shit. The clothes have skulls and everything is in black and white. Kids should where colours and have fun clothing. And the commercial for it is *really* weird and creepy.
Sanaa The Great Skulls? Oh my how scary. It’s not like every single person has one in their head or something. Doesn’t look satanic at all to me. There’s nothing wrong with black and white either. Just seems like it’s trying to be trendy.
Why doesnt colleen ever talk about her nephews and niece? Lol I miss them hanging out with her and rachel so often! Also I feel like Parker is the perfect example of being able to wear whatever you want! ♥️
gisary matos No, more like Colleen has a solid point but then immediately contradicts herself by acting like she can only (or only wants to) buy things for Flynn from the “boys” section.
I see what you mean but I don’t think she wants to buy her son clothes which day “be cute” or “I’m a princess” if they were girls clothes with substance instead of vanity she’d probably be all over it! How about pink dinosaur or racing car themed clothing? That’s what I interpreted her point to be!
Make a clothing line. Please. This makes me so happy that other people with big platform are addressing this terrible problem. I talk about this with my family and they just make fun of me. Love you.
Yeah, I agree! I was into Pokemon a few years ago and wanted a shirt with pikachu on it and my mum told me that it was a boys shirt and that I couldn’t get it. I was upset and I can still remember it.
I wish I could just go to her house and help her with her videos. She’s such a great mom to Flynn and I want her to be happy with when she puts videos out
mixer_vampette_ arianator its always weird that poeople dont wanna force the pink colors on boys, but dint mind forcing blue colors on boys, or vice versa... wack!
It’s not forcing. She’s saying how frustrating it is that boy clothes are blue green and grey. Still she bought those. You can easily go to the “girl” section and get some pink and purple stuff for your boy so he’s in all colors. Quick easy fix and it’s one step to prove to stores that they can just make a kids section not separated into a boy section and a girl section. I put my boys in all colors and then as they get older (like her nephew Parker) they can make the choice to wear what they wish and know they have options!
Flynn is so adorable. I love how you guys bathe him together. Such a sweet family! I also love how Eric always puts on the ET "OoOoo" voice when he talks to him.
For the stuffed animal elephant for Flynn, there’s a website called budsies that will take drawings and make them into stuffed animals

Yeah! They should make a pink t shirt for flynn that says something like "yes I'm wearing pink, deal with it" that would be so cool!!
stephleung2008 YES THATS SMART
You should seriously create a clothing line!!! It would be awesome
You can always shop from both sides. Just get like a purple romper from the girls department. We shop on the boys side for my niece all the time
Girls clothes just fit differently
I don't think that's the point...
I have a boys coat and I don't care about it because it feels like a normal coat just the zip is on the opposite side that girls coats.
I have a green shirt for my son that says “courageous and kind” and I love it!
Alissa Mills oh I LOVE that! Do you know where you got it?
Alissa Mills he is gonna be a slythern when he grows up
stop no one cares
that is the best thing ever put on a shirt, do they have it in my size? lol

Bailey West couldn’t agree more !
Exactly!
Boy and girl clothes fit babies different. Even different brands of diapers fit them differently.
Maybe she didn't find any she liked enough to buy for her son🤷🏾♀️
But there have been improvements I believe :) as in toys that aren’t labeled or putting all the the options together in the store so that people will be more inclined to make the choice that suits them:)
Can we have a Flynn night/morning routine???
oml of course it was children's place
i always hated that store
lil' self knew what was up
you should make a business called flynn’s fashion or something after your son and break the clothing stereotypes that way
Oh my gosh, Flynn's Fashion would be the PERFECT name
I completely agree with you and understand your point that its a very annoying issue and it needs to be fixed. In theory you could just buy the “girl clothes” for him and ignore that it’s “for girls”
Mya Speaker but would they fit as he gets older
Kennedy Henderson I don’t really know what you mean, because baby’s usually grow out of clothes in a couple months anyway, so boy or girl clothes they should fit and grow out of them the same as they would usually

Maybe I'm weird but why doesn't Colleen just go to the "girl" section and buy a purple shirt for Flynn??? I do it all the time for my daughter mainly b/c she's not into princesses but wants to wear shirt w/ her fave characters so I buy her stuff in the "boys" section all the time. If u want ur son to wear all colors but him whatever I want. I get she most likely wldnt want to get stuff that said like "girls rule" or "daddy's princess" but there are tons of plain oneies she did buy. No one is forcing her to buy clothes solely from the "boys" section no one will arrest her for buying her son a plain purple shirt so just do it.

@Microphone12 singingsista But she has complained on many other occassions that you can't get pink and sparkles in the boys section..She might have added a new lean to it here, but she does say exactly what the commenter said she's saying, all the time.
you HAVE to do a fashion show with Flynn for us!
AND when he is too big for the rumpers you can cut off the legs and turn them into
t-shirts/tops
Living On Mars GOOD IDEA! And i can sew the edges!
Why did I not think of this?! Amazing idea!!
Flynn looks really good in navy blue, so I think he would look good in red. You go girl for not doing gender norms.
I wish more people thought like her
But what makes those clothes only for boys? Why can you just put a pink onsie on him even if it comes from the girls section?
Natalie P exactly.
she can. shes said that she has/will if she find the clothes cute. but thats not the point, its just not the best that it is only pink and purple clothes in the girls section and only blue grey and green in boys. as if there are feminine and masculine colors only for a certain gender.
It’s more about the marketing aspect of the clothes
Anyone else’s heart melt when Colleen and Erik call each other love?❤️❤️
Ok so just me?
Kierstyn Lanski RIGHT!💜💜
Kierstyn Lanski no sis everybody
🥺🥺 right sis!?
PLEEEEEAAASSSE MAKE A CLOTHING LINE! We're all on board!
Just shop for Flynn in the girls section. That would be adorable
Olive Laura yaaaa
but tnere is where it starts everything like the descriptions like cutie girl sparkle explosion they are toooooooo much there is no middle clothes or they are sparkle and neon pink or they are green and grey saying brave and etc blablabla😒
As soon as I saw the title.. As soon as I saw the author.. I knew it was about gender..
Wolfix no you didn't...sthu.
7:15 WTF SHE SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE JOJO SIWA
Amanda Barry you are so right!
I guess JoJo wears off on her!!
Amanda Barry WHAAAAAAAAAAAA
OMG she does!!!!!
OML!!!
There is no rule that you have to buy clothes based on the gender of your child. If you see something bright and colourful, Buy it! The only difference in any of the clothing is what section of the store you get it from (Girl/Boy) I feel like that should be the point of your argument, Otherwise, Buying clothing because they don’t make the cute stuff you want like the frilly onesies because it’s not for boys, Is doing what you’re saying you wish would change. Be an example of that change and buy the things you want! There’s not much room to rant if you don’t.
Like I get what you’re saying and stuff and you can totally do that,, Ik people do it,, but what Colleen is saying is she wishes that there was just no difference in the sections kind of,, like she wishes that all genders were treated the same like if you say a girl walking down the street in a sparkly pink shirt most people wouldn’t care but if it was a guy wearing a shirt like that then he’d probably get some weird looks and I’m not saying you would be someone looking at him weirdly but I’m just trying to say that if you are going to the ‘girl’ section it’s not really making as much as a difference as trying to help make it less spilt into genders 🤷🏻♀️
Same I don’t like it too when they say this is for girls and this for boys I am a girl an have from “ boys “ selection shirt and shoes for pe
You could just buy Flynn clothes from the 'girls' section 😊 I dont ever look at them as boy/girl sections, just clothes lol
I agree
Right? I've been buying certain shirt from boy sides for my daughter for years 😅
Same 🤘🏼
yessss most definitely
Yes yes yes!
I completely agree with you on this topic, but also I love that your wearing a Barbie shirt for this 😂
Hillary R Ikr- I was looking for this comment before I said it!🤣
Ikr? 😂😂😂😂
@Allison Buccinu - same!
I said that it was ironic and someone got very upset.
Her point isn’t that girls can’t be feminine, she enjoys pink, it’s that if boys want to wear pink they should be able to and that should be a norm
if you want flyn to have more variety in his colors and ruffle buts, cant you just buy some stuff at the girls section?
ps: love how you manage to vlog every day so far 😊
Friedi Felau that was my thought too- My niece (5) shops in the ‘boy’ section because she likes clothes with dogs on them- I also shopped in the boy section when I was younger if there was something I wanted
thats what i was thinkingg
Gamers Rock wow did you even watch the video? You’re missing the point. Why should the color of clothing indicate your gender? Girls and boys should be able wear whatever colour they want, and it’s taking clothing companies a while to catch on to that unfortunately. They are just colours!
@Gamers Rock I don't think you are seeing the point......
I was thinking the same thing. Be the change-- smash the gender stereotypes! I don't think Parker's getting his sparkly leotards from the boy's section either!
3:52
Me: *watches the cat* awww it's on the table!
Me, 5 seconds later: Oh wait I should pay attention to the rant
😂😂😂💞
I'm a girl and my favorite colour is blue💙 like if u agree
Kiquanna Harvey sameeee
Kiquanna Harvey mine is sky blue
Mines is black.
same
Kiquanna Harvey sane!
why can't you just put him in girl clothes if you're that worried about it?
He CAN wear purple or pink...you buy the clothes...you choose what colour he wears...
That wasn't the point...
That wasn’t really the point
I get that..but she still bought him blue and green and then asked why can’t he wear pink or purple??
@@dannidryden5471 she said all the girls clothes were covered in slogans she didn't like. And she also said at the beginning that he does already have pink clothes. Try listening.
hanzi31 7:57
Anybody else wanted Flynn to do a fashion show with all his new clothes😂😂😂❤️love you guys so much! #bossmom😂❤️
Angel smith try on haul! 😂
Lol
Wow you’re so right about this, holy cow. This really opened my eyes.😳
Bri Leigh same!!
It shouldn’t have, it’s nonsense. We bought a “boys” shirt from a kids store that says “raised by strong women”. There’s plenty of things for kids and parents to choose from...🙄
i luv how Colleen has done like 5 of the "A RANT" videos and i luv the fact that i watch them all
Me: Is she going to get a spoon
Colleen: **downs apple sauce**
Me: Okay then I'm going to go in the comment section now
Thank you for all the likes I never got this many before
Oh my god, Flynn would be SO adorable in a pastel purple romper!!!!!!!💜💘
Bananangel Yes!!!!!!
Oh my goodness YASSSSS
Also quit shopping big and shop small! So many small shops and mamas on instagram have amazing clothing and dont stigma boy or girl!!!!!
colleen ur such an amazing mom i’m living
Yes I agree you and jessica make your own clothing line 💜
Mrs A same
Why don’t you just buy the “girl” onesie with ruffle butt and put that one on him? 🤷♀️
Exactly. Absolutely no one is saying that she isn't allowed to do that lmao
She's talking about slogans, not ruffles
Oh yeah that’s a good idea
She’s talking about how they’re so separated. Society enforces the idea that girls need to be feminine and men need to be masculine, even by making separate clothing sections for boys and girls. It makes it seem like there needs to be a distinction, but in reality they’re children and then should be able to go into a store and pick out whatever they like without having to go to a certain section. We should be teaching children that gender is a fluid spectrum
Nicole R. omg y’all are so annoying that’s not the point!!!!
Tell Jojo to release a line that empowers boys!!! ♡♡♡♡
this is a great idea!!
Make your own clothing line colleeeen i would buy it for my future child haha
Rabia B yesss!!!!!
Yesss I would buy them and wear them XD
Didn't you hear her she is so busy with the moranda shows and with Flynn🤔
You should make your own child clothing line 😬🥰
I was literally thinking that while she was ranting on insta! How cool would that be!
Jessica Bozak yess
Yass but I don’t think she has time for that just now
Yes!!!!
I was just about to comment that! she totally should!
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SEE THE TITLE THAT IT'S TIME TO GRAB THE POPCORN!
- small youtuber here hoping to hit 10k x
PerksOfAnnie I subbed 😇💗
I will try to help you
Omg you are so right though - POPCORN TIME
literally eating popcorn
PerksOfAnnie self promo is annoying
I`m a girl who hates pink, purple, and sparkles
I love the color green, blue, white, and like to race
People call my a tomboy and I don`t care I`m just proud of who I am
Same
You go girl
I’m a woman who likes pink, green and purple. I like sparkles in moderation. I don’t like wearing makeup and never really have. I like video games and D&D. I don’t like sports. I love the arts. I don’t like cooking or cleaning. I am a woman who likes what I like, some things stereotypically feminine, some stereotypically masculine. And I’m glad you enjoy the things that you like too!
Thank you
Thanks Girl
My daughter is almost 6 now and when she was 1 and 2 she LOVED Elmo but they only made Elmo clothes for boys and not girls. We didn't care that they were "boys" and she loved her all her Elmo clothes and Elmo bedding!!
Why do you shop exclusively in the boy section when you like the ruffle butts and you want Flynn to have other colors? Is there a sizing difference or something?
Sophia Danielle this is my thoughts exactly! And I can’t imagine that infant bodies vary that much depending on gender.
@@genevadriedger6281 As someone who worked in the kid's clothes section of Nordstrom...the sizing is the exact same regardless of gender
Megan W. makes sense!
The only difference is what they put on them....
Exactly. Why won’t you just buy him “girl” clothes. And literally every single piece of cloths that you bought is blue, gray and with dinosaurs... I feel like Coleen is just bored rn looking for some drama.
This is how many people love Flynn
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Hey Colleen,
If you’re keen on unisex onsies, a brand in Australia called Bonds does some really nice ones in all sorts of colors. I think they ship worldwide. Also, really enjoying watching your videos. You’re doing an amazing job as a new mumma!
How are you meant to put empowernment on a shirt ?
Vanessa Rose it’s simple. Put the words “future scientist” or something on a girls shirt. Something of that caliber.
Meme God that doesn’t necessarily encourage children to be empowered individuals
I feel like it’s too difficult to condense into a shirt slogan
There are lots of different places that you can buy different colored clothes than blue, green, and grey
I thought red was common in boys clothing? Also yellow is probably rare but that would probably be around in some boy sections as well.
Next time you should buy him stuff from the "girl's" section :)
ALSO Flynn is TOO ADORABLE!!!
You could but you shouldn’t bc it has less protection in the private Area and that wouldn’t be good
There is a little boy that goes to the same place as I do for gymnastics and he literally inspires me. Every day that he goes you can always find him in sparkly black leggings or bright hot pink leggings.
I’m pretty sure he is my spirit animal 😂
Sarah Hakala omg
Yasss
Sarah Hakala what a legend
I agree! My son is now 6 and from the time that he has been able to pick his own loves I have left him. His favorite color is purple and he says that his second favorite is pink! He is still a boy boy who just loves what the loves.
I get what you’re saying. I actually study this in grad school. What I don’t understand, is that you had the opportunity to buy non-blue and green clothes and chose not to. You could have bought him an all pink outfit and instead you seem to choose not to and feel victimized by this choice. If you want him to wear ALL colors then let’s see him in ALL colors.
Danielle Calder dont think its about the colours its more about the messages that were said on them
@@fran509 Yes, that was a huge part of what she talked about. And I totally get that. However, when she found pink clothes without those messages on them she didn't buy them, despite saying that there was nothing wrong with boys wearing pink. She can dress her son in pink and purple and chooses not to- she is not a victim yet seems to see herself in this light.
Danielle Calder my main problem is she pretty much lied. Yes, their clothes includes those sayings and even those colors, but they also include all the things she claims they don’t. They have clothes with statements praising intelligence and even shirts in support of LGBT. They have pastels and pinks and purples for boys in both shorts and shirts. Either the store she went to was very small and select or her own bias kept her from really looking and seeing. She’s too concerned with making a blanket statement against clothing “norms” to see that she wasn’t even hitting the mark. And as you stated she could have easily bought any of those outfits or clothing items that were plain, but she chose not to.
This is what I thought as well. I get that she's mad that blue/green/gray/"it's okay to be a brat" is marketed to boys and purple/pink/"my looks are the only thing that matters" is marketed to girls. I 100% agree with that. My problem with her is that she said "I couldn't find any purple/pink for my son!" when she could easily just... buy them! She is already mad at the marketing but it doesn't mean she has to listen to it.
This is something I also studying in college. And it's weird to me that ppl that rant about this topic allow CLOTHES to impact how their kids are raised. YOU ARE THE PARENT. NOT THE CLOTHES.
Maybe consider getting a sitter/nanny to watch Flynn for a couple hours while you work during the day. Nothing wrong with having help!
I think you're over thinking the clothes. Messages, colors, or glitter/sequence on clothes don't create the child...parenting does. And it doesn't mean your a bad parent if your son wears a sarcastic shirt where he's labeled a 'trouble maker'...and it doesn't make you a good parent if your daughter is wearing a shirt that says 'future president of the united states.' None of that matters to kids or to parents, except those that focus way to much on things. Calling out the store, means calling out the millions of parents that bought their child one of those shirts, and shamed them for it. It's okay that your opinion is strong, and that you are passionate about it and shared it with us...just don't put down others with your opinion. I don't care if girls wear pink, blue, or if everyone wears all grey in their life. We teach our kids confidence in themselves, and respect for others with a different opinion/value/faith/belief system than our own. So if parents want to buy their daughters shirts that say princess, beautiful, unicorn poop...than so be it. Or encouraging messages, that's awesome too! But we don't teach our kids to judge others based on what they are wearing, but on who they are.
Very well said. It's pathetic that she's using her young child as a platform to spout off her political views. Babies don't have the slightest clue of what is written on the front of their shirt. A girl wearing something saying, "cutie" or a boy wearing a shirt saying, "trouble maker" is not sending a negative message to other kids, it's meant to be cute and funny. Kids are too young to have any understanding or knowledge about sexism and social justice. She's just trying to sound high and mighty by publicly expressing a politically correct opinion. The over sensitivity in America has gotten out of hand.
@@AaronStark1993 i agree👍
🙌🏻
Yes! I don't remember what any 1 shirt said growing up.. I remember the experiences with my mom and how she raised me, but not what my shirt said. (Which I'm sure would have been princess and things very girl)
This comment should be higher. They’re just clothes. Like.... what? Buy whatever clothes you want for your kids. The sayings/colors of the clothes will not influence them or teach them anything.
You legit should start a clothing line. Your so true about everything you said.
I really don’t get your commentary on the clothing. it’s OK for boys to be very boyish, just like it’s OK for girls to be extra girly. If you want neutrality then do that for your child. There’s nothing wrong with any of the statements on those shirts. if we learned our life lessons from a T-shirt slogan, then I would be very concerned as well. Until then, I don’t really understand what you were trying to say.
It's pathetic that she's using her young child as a platform to spout off her political views. Babies don't have the slightest clue of what is written on the front of their shirt.

Kids are too young to have any understanding or knowledge about sexism and social justice. She's just trying to sound high and mighty by publicly expressing a politically correct opinion through her son. The over sensitivity in America has gotten out of hand.
Aaron Stark I totally agree. It’s actually infinitely infuriating to hear her rant about something that I don’t think she understands. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but to claim that there’s something wrong with the typical clothing they sell at stores for babies is so frustrating. None of what they wear is going to somehow affect them later unless they don’t have parents doing their jobs. Most people dress their boys like boys, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I think it’s so selfish for her to act like she’s the spokesperson on this or that she’s so knowledgeable on the topic. Who gets mad over a slogan that says “tools” ugh. I just don’t understand.
PREACH 🙌🏼 society should always try and create better humans. “Boys will be boys” will always be my least favorite saying
Yes. Along with, "Be lady-like."
Mallorie Louann YES. The worst!
They are little
just buy the girl poofy bums and put them on flynn 🤷🏼♀️
Emma exactly!
right? what makes them "for boys" or "for girls" other than the gender roles she's trying not to abide by?
Madigan Zamora sizes and the way it fits
Emma yeah she just made a rant that clothes should just be clothes so
Do a video "A day in the life of Flynn"!!!
I think I read somewhere that Celine Dion has or is coming out with a clothing line that is gender neutral? Maybe you should check that out for Flynn 😊
No, that is seriously some satanic shit. The clothes have skulls and everything is in black and white. Kids should where colours and have fun clothing. And the commercial for it is *really* weird and creepy.
Sanaa The Great
Skulls? Oh my how scary. It’s not like every single person has one in their head or something. Doesn’t look satanic at all to me. There’s nothing wrong with black and white either. Just seems like it’s trying to be trendy.
Roses are red. 🌹
Violets are blue. 💙
I love Flynn, Colleen, and Erik,
And you do too.
Edit: 100 likes?!? Thank you so much!
Why doesnt colleen ever talk about her nephews and niece? Lol I miss them hanging out with her and rachel so often! Also I feel like Parker is the perfect example of being able to wear whatever you want! ♥️
Who else saw the cat jump up on the bench in the background and start eating something ? 😂😂
Why don’t you just buy Flynn “girl” clothes? Or colorful clothes from the girl section if you really want him to wear more colors
Right? So easy. Just like Parker.
You clearly missed her whole point 😂😂
gisary matos No, more like Colleen has a solid point but then immediately contradicts herself by acting like she can only (or only wants to) buy things for Flynn from the “boys” section.
I see what you mean but I don’t think she wants to buy her son clothes which day “be cute” or “I’m a princess” if they were girls clothes with substance instead of vanity she’d probably be all over it! How about pink dinosaur or racing car themed clothing? That’s what I interpreted her point to be!
Make a clothing line. Please. This makes me so happy that other people with big platform are addressing this terrible problem. I talk about this with my family and they just make fun of me. Love you.
Yeah I agree about the sayings on shirts. They should say "rockstar" or "changing the world" or something more positive. You go girl!
Yeah, I agree! I was into Pokemon a few years ago and wanted a shirt with pikachu on it and my mum told me that it was a boys shirt and that I couldn’t get it. I was upset and I can still remember it.
I think you’re reading too much into it. If you don’t like it don’t buy it.
love this colleen! :)
AT 7:15 SHE SOUNDS JUST LIKE JOJO SIWA!!
Kinsley Victoria why does she hang out with a child?
Omg yes she does sound like jojo Kingsley Victoria
just stop harassing us
That’s scary
ItBeLiKeDaT BiHh because they are friends
*colleen's rants are my favorite rants*
I agree with options on the clothes
I wish I could just go to her house and help her with her videos. She’s such a great mom to Flynn and I want her to be happy with when she puts videos out
Why not go to the “girl” section and buy outfits that are pink and purple for Flynn to wear?! It’s still possible to break stereotypes
mixer_vampette_ arianator its always weird that poeople dont wanna force the pink colors on boys, but dint mind forcing blue colors on boys, or vice versa... wack!
mixer_vampette_ arianator Putting a certain color on him is not forcing a color on him. If that was the case he wouldn’t be able to wear anything. Lol
It’s not forcing. She’s saying how frustrating it is that boy clothes are blue green and grey. Still she bought those. You can easily go to the “girl” section and get some pink and purple stuff for your boy so he’s in all colors. Quick easy fix and it’s one step to prove to stores that they can just make a kids section not separated into a boy section and a girl section. I put my boys in all colors and then as they get older (like her nephew Parker) they can make the choice to wear what they wish and know they have options!
Everyone: SPILL THE TEA
Colleen: SPILL THE APPLE SAUCE!
Flynn is so adorable. I love how you guys bathe him together. Such a sweet family! I also love how Eric always puts on the ET "OoOoo" voice when he talks to him.
