I feel sorry for moms of only boys

[Anonymous]

I can never decide if I feel sorry for myself or not. My MIL only had boys and desperately wanted her DILs to behave like daughters to her, which we do not. I do wonder whether I will end up feeling lonely as the only female in my family and whether my boys will find me tedious. But my father had only girls and ended up being the superstar in my family -- everyone liked him the best. In the end, not really worth worrying about, is it?

I honestly thought every parent wants boys.

It's stupid to feel one way or the other about it. It's not like you get to choose.

I am thrilled I have all boys.

I am extremely close to my 3 college-age nephews.

We are a testosterone-filled family and as a no-drama, athletic woman. I relate to men so much better.

The whole Frozen-crap makes me cringe.

Don't cry for me.

I am competitive as hell and much prefer to take my boys in a race, a soccer match, basketball, etc. I played a Div-1 sport so they come to me for sports advice.

Ha! Then you would have been totally bummed it you had gotten my boys. They hate sports. They hate Frozen too though.

People can be such inadvertent assholes. If someone loves their daughter, great, but why the H do they have to make it into "I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have a daughter"? Just like, if you are happily married, great, but you do not need to feel sorry for people who are single. Or, if your kids are all neurotypical, no need to pity me because my child has special needs. Enjoy whatever makes you happy but don't go trying to prop yourself up by imagining how miserable other people must be because their lives are different from yours.

This statement is simply misogyny. Don't hate half the species.

HOLY CRAP, this is some of the most sexist bullshit I have ever read.

My son loves Frozen. Lots of boys do. Girls can be good at sports too. Some boys don't play sports at all.

I don't say this often, but you are a complete idiot.

Same with the othe DIL.
MIL only had sons.

Same here. DH is the youngest of 3 sons. She cried when he told her he was in love with me. I wish we had a close relationship like I knows others have with their MILs.

that's because your MILs are crazy. I know tons of families where the adult sons are very close with their mothers. Then again those mothers aren't assholes and often have great relationships with their DILs are well.

It's not misogyny to be glad to have all boys.

I'm grateful every morning that hair brushing takes approx 10 seconds and that I never have to sit and braid/curl/ponytail anyone's hair.

I appreciate that on cold days like today, I don't have to have to talk anyone out of wearing a dress.

I am super thankful that I don't have to deal with kiddie tights. Ever.

Love my boys. I'm sure if I had girls I'd love them just as much. But I'm not sorry to be happy to have sons and I'm proud that I get to raise them to be kind, thoughtful men -- the world needs more of those.

Indeed.

This is clearly the most sexist thread of 2015 on DCUM and it will be hard to put-do it as far as sexism.

What is wrong with you women??!?

Can someone give my husband the memo? He must have missed it.

Nice. This just adds one more thing to the list of negative things I hear about Koreans.
