Any moms with all boys that love it and do not feel disappointed?

[Anonymous]

As a Single Mom by Choice I adopted my daughter from China when i was 32. my My perfect family was in place, the way I always dreamed it. Just me and my kid travellin' the world together.

Then, the following year, I met my husband and we decided to adopt a boy (yes, yes, he wanted a son to carry on his name, blah blah). Best place to be guaranteed a boy was Ethiopia. So, we submitted our paperwork and we were referred... 2 boys! Siblings, ages 2 and 4. A year later our agency told us there was a now a 1 year old brother. Aunties could not care for him and wanted him with his brothers. Mmmm, ok, we can't leave him behind! We had him home in less than 3 months.

So now, yes 3 boys! And 6 of us travellin' the world together.

I know I got the girl that the OP wants so badly, but 3 boys are really great too.

Disgusting. What a lovely attitude to pass on to your sons.

It’s harder to be a mom of girls. Not sure why you’re angry.

My husband gets asked a lot about if he wants a boy, we had no preference he just wanted two of the same for some reason - lol so he was happy with two girls. Would have wanted two boys if our first was a boy.

Agree same sex siblings are awesome.

Are you for real? Look at the title of this thread.

Mom of 4 boys here. I love them dearly. The 24/7 sports does get old, but I keep telling myself that someday I’ll miss this special time.

But I’m not ashamed to admit that each Christmas and Easter I wistfully look at fancy dresses and secretly wish I had had a girl. That doesn’t mean I regret having boys btw.

Agreed.

I can't imagine our household with a girl.

I have one of each and I don't find this remotely true. Different genders have different challenges. Different children have different challenges. I truly hate the soft misogyny that is implied by "girls are harder" because drama.

I'm a "both mom" and I agree that one gender doesn't seem easier it has more to do with temperament

I have three kids >>> two boys, one girl.

Boy was raising boys so much more easier than raising boys!!

Boys have a better demeanor.....
They do not get mad very easily.
And if they do, they get over it quickly.

They also do not overthink things nor do they take things personally.

Girls?
All about drama.

I grew up with two sisters and now have two boys.

I have absolutely zero regret, in fact if I had my choice this is what I would have chosen.

I agree. Has wayyyy more to do with the temperament of the kid than gender.

+1. I have always felt that anyone with both genders knows that temperament is more important than gender. I have 4..2 boys and 2 girls. I have a boy and girl that are very similar in temperament and the other boy and girl are also similar, but opposite. I laugh when someone attributes something to their child being a boy or girl.

+1! I wanted a girl before I had kids but am now very happy with my two boys who are best friends (so far)!
