What Zane said earlier about wanting to have a girl and being excited was so true for me. Then as she got bigger and wanted to play barbies (i didn't play with barbies, except to roast a shrimp on one) it became a problem. And then when she had friends over and they started their screaming . . . oh my gosh, it drove me crazy. Now Plungee and I have 4 girls (8, 12, 14 & 15) at home. Let the screamfest and drama begin (and it does day after day - no really - okay really, but not too bad).
I did end up playing barbies with her. I made it fun for me. It used to tickled the shit out of her. "No no Ken, we are going shopping without you today. You can clean the house. We'll be back . . . oh I don't know when we'll be back. Don't worry about it, okay! We'll be back when we get good and ready to be back."
I didn't really do that scenario, but similar funny stuff (at least my daughter thought it was funny - she couldn't breath she laughed so hard). Then when her friends came over, she didn't want me to play, because they would just sit there and laugh. Like I said, I made it fun.
