Your SIL is an ass. Cut her off. |

| She needs to switch to buying dolls. This is disgusting. |

My cousin was broken when her baby miscarried. I guess she's lucky she didn't have a healthy baby of the wrong gender. That would have been truly devastating. |

| Three girls is my absolute dream! Alas, I am lucky to have my two girls and am too old for more babies. |

| Is it a cultural thing? I thought more people wanted girls now. |

| Who cares? I don't get it. Kids are who they are regardless of gender otherwise you're hoping for a doll. |

| I don't know about 3rd child odds but my bro & his wife had 3 of one gender & then the 4th was the other gender. That made them happy but apparently there was only an 11% chance of it happening. So your SIL shouldn't have that next child unless she's ok with 89% chance of another of the same. I agree with PPs to just heart her messages & to just be a bit busy until she gets over it (which she will & will love her baby of course). I also think in situations like this finding easy low hanging fruit ways to be sympathetic (like a gift or a written message) rather than taking the call & having to fake it work best for me. |

| Has anyone really listened to her. I find giving someone a chance to be heard, ask why it is so devastating TO HER not to have a boy may be helpful. Ask your brother if he knows what is going on, finally may simply be pregnancy hormones. |
