[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an almost two year old son and I’m due with a second baby in March 2021. I just find out I’m having a girl. I’m disappointed. I really wanted two boys. I never had a great relationship with my mom and[b] I just get along better with men[/b]. I really wanted two boys and that was it. I’m grateful to be pregnant but I’m bummed. [/quote]

If it helps, there was never a possibility of giving birth to a man, so nothing was lost on that front.

Vent and then move on.  Look at little girls playing softball or whatever you pictured the boy doing to get over this feeling that you're bringing home the wrong kind of baby.  If you had an expectation, it's normal to feel like you've lost that future you were planning but you've gained a new one, so focus on that.  If you feel like your relationship with your mom is going to present an issue with parenting your daughter, it's smart to see someone to talk that through.  You don't have to recreate the same dynamic in this generation.[/quote]
