If You Had Two Boys..

[Anonymous]

Did you try or ever considering trying for a third in hopes of getting a girl? Did you not care and were happy with what you had?

Very happy with two boys.
Never crossed my mind to try for a third just to get a girl.
I hated it when they were younger and people would ask me if we were going to try again for a girl.
Stereotypical. A woman cannot be happy unless she has a daughter, and a man cannot be happy unless he has a son. That is such a horrible way to think.

Nope!!!! I had one boy and then wanted another boy. I cried that I wasn’t having a girl at first, but once o had a boys, it’s all I wanted. I love the chaos and boy stuff. Plus, I didn’t want to have to choose between ballet or dance and baseball.

Happy with boys, did not try for a girl.

I had a third it was a girl but I would have still had a third if I knew it would be a boy.

OP here. I have two wonderful boys. It’s so weird for many people but I have always wanted boys. They seem so much easier lol. My friend has two boys and wants to try for a third in hopes it will be a girl, and another friend who had a boy and then a girl, said she would have tried for a third if her second was a boy. I just find it super strange.

I have 3 boys. While pregnant with the 3rd, I wanted a boy. My husband wanted a girl. However, before we got pregnant, we knew that really, we'd be happy with either - we just wanted a 3rd kid. That's basically the only way you should have a 3rd because otherwise, someone is going to be disappointed!

I have 4 boys and then a girl but I want another

My husband and I both hoped we'd have at least one of each. We ended up having G, G, B, and now expecting another B.

No, I didn’t want a girl enough to want 3 kids. Also, it’s simpler having all of the same (clothes, toys, activities).

I knew a girl growing up. She was #8. 7 boys and they wanted a girl. Can you imagine being #7..knowing you were a disappointment the first day? I have 1 of each but would have been happy with any combo

For me boys are not easier, but I think it’s personality and not gender.

- mom to very difficult boys, super easy girl (third child)

We had two boys and wanted the third to be a girl.

Got pregnant with third, girl. Miscarriage. Did IVF and got pregnant with a girl embryo. Chemical pregnancy. None of the other viable embryos were girls.

Got pregnant naturally and now I have 3 boys.

I wouldn’t suggest trying for a specific gender. You’ll get what you’re meant to get.

We had always thought we'd have 3 but for health reasons stopped at 2. Both boys.

Ha ha ha. I worked with someone who had 6 boys before having a girl. He always joked that he doesn't recommend keeping trying until you get a girl. He had two more kids after that though (boy then girl, so 9 children total ).
