toys deciding careers...just a good laugh

My Husband pointed something very interesting out to me the other day as we were going through the
Toys R Us Catalogue looking at what christmas toys we should buy our 11 week old. Right at the
back of the book there was a page for girls and on this page -pretty in pink if i may add- were four different
types of "career toys"...it had the following on:

1)a kiddies ironing board and iron,a pink plastic dishwasher with little tea cups ,saucers and plastic cups and bowls,and a kiddies pretend vacuum.









2) There was also a "vanity table" almost something like a dressing table...but for kids
3) kitchen play set with a little stove saucepan ,utensils and frying pan
4)A pretend doctor kit

5)doll playset
6)plastic high heels a shimmery dress and light make up

Dont you think its funny how whatever your child chooses is likely what the child will become one day?
be it a housewife, doctor, party girl, or child sitter.interesting isnt it...and what about if you had to choose the gift...you would most likely choose something you think you would have liked as a child or still think is cute and like it right? it most likely would be in the field of your work...i.e.a doctor then you buy the doctor kit? would your child not take the path and follow in your footsteps...

heres what they have for boys:
1)Tool case(electrician/engineer)
2)spy gear (FBI)


3)computers/kiddie laptops and games (gamer/IT)

4)lego(builder)

5)small electronic motorbike(racer)










6)doctor set(DR)

7)cleaning set(cleaner)

you would swear that toy factories are deciding your childs future for you

note: this was just for a laugh dont take to heart, every child decides their own future and it neednt be based on toys they play with...:)
