Me too. I have a daughter (I really wanted a girl and am so happy she came into our lives) and I'm pregnant again and hoping for another girl. |
You seem to have quite a chip on your shoulder. |
I have boys.
It's not that I want a girl because I don't want anymore children. It's that they aren't wired like me at all and it would be nice to have another female, albeit a child, in the house with me. It's all good here but it's all sports, loud, fussing, and boy. Bytheway, the clothes are so ugly after about age 5 for boys! And dress clothes? No one dresses a young boy anymore but us? |
I love having a boy, and I secretly feel sorry for parents with only girls. |
+1 Me too |
I guess this goes to show how individual all of this is, because I couldn't disagree more with ALL of this. |
Well my daughter died so of course I miss her. |
Bless.Your. Heart. Please don't feel sorry for me. I love my two girls! Plus, I have five cats and a dog...all girls and we love it. Before anyone says we are crazy cat people we are fostering three of them. |
I am very sorry this happened to you and your family. ![]() |
Wow, there's some profound gender self loathing on this thread. Paging the nearest therapist, much?
It's wonderful to love and celebrate the gender of the child you were blessed with. It's not okay to be so filled with seething resentment over whatever happened to make you dislike your own gender that you make biased, sweeping and embittered comments about that gender. Get a grip and some therapy. |
Get over yourselves. No one needs or wants your pity. |
I always thought I wanted one of each. After having my son, I realized I would be perfectly happy having both boys (we knew we were done at 2). Ended up having a girl but would have been perfectly happy with 2 boys. |
I think most people love the kids they get and are happy with their lives.
One of the things that has to happen for parents is that they stop being in love with their fantasy of being a parent and learn to love the family that they got. |
And we feel sorry for you. You have my pity and sympathy |
I really wanted a lovely daughter first, truth be told. And was thrilled when she arrived. And then I wanted a sweet little boy. He came and made our little family complete.
Happy to have one of each. |
