Back in January, The Mommy Files blogger Amy Graff posted a list (inspired by Stuff White People Like) poking fun at her fellow San Francisco hipster parents, called "Stuff SF Parents Like." Here are a few things SF parents like:
Buying their boys Barbies
"I'm really trying to shelter him from gender stereotypes so he can become his own person."
Giving their kids fish oil supplements
"Improves IQ, you know."
Playing indie rock for their babies
"Sam lights up when we put on Death Cab for Cutie."
Now Graff is back with even more things SF parents like, and though she speaks from her own local perspective, I think we can all agree that most of these things apply to hip, urban parents across the nation. (Yes, I'm talking about you. And me.)
Some more things SF parents like:
Telling their kids about the evils of McDonald's. "When you get older I can read you a book called Fast Food Nation and then you'll know what I mean when I say that McDonald's is preying on you."
Bragging about their child's friend who has two mommies or daddies.
"We spent the weekend up in Tahoe with one of Lily's best friends from
preschool. You know her friend has two moms, and we all bonded over the
weekend."
Teaching their kids big words such as quagmire. "She has an amazing vocabulary. I think it's because I always read The New Yorker out loud to her when she was in utero."
You can read her whole list here.
Got anything to add to the list? Anything that makes you roll your eyes when you overhear it at the playground?
