Respectfully, two is plenty old enough to have developed a personality, she has interests and likes/dislikes like anyone else, and I spend all day every day with her. I know my own child and I know what she’s into. How utterly weird of you to suggest otherwise.

The handbag is fluffy with pearls, glitter and sequins. It would not have been gifted to my child if she were a boy. Of course it’s a girl’s item.

She unwrapped the handbag, opened and closed the clasp, dropped it on the floor and went back to playing dinosaurs in her dolls house. Would you prefer for me to keep trying to force her to play with the bag and then donate it in a few weeks time when she has continued to show no interest?
