[quote=Anonymous]I know this is ridiculous, but I thought perhaps the nice DCUM moms/dads can help me feel better. I have three wonderful, healthy, delightful boys. But as my last child turns 1, and my oldest is starting his own burping and arm-pit farting contests with himself, I have to admit, I'm feeling a bit sad about never having a daughter. I understand this is sadness wrapped in ridiculous amounts of joy. But, I'm really feeling bad these days.

I read an article by a mom of three boys and one girl. She said that while she loves, loves, loves her boys, her girl shares parts of her she could never see in her sons. They have an unspoken connection and bond, etc. And then I saw an advertisement of a mom and daughter spending a day at the spa together. I think both of these things are just making me feel like I'm going to miss out on this big experience that I wanted so much (and didn't realize I wanted so badly until just recently). I also feel sad that my husband will never have a daughter - he would be such a wonderful dad to a little girl.

I will not be having any more children, so please help me -- if you feel the same as me, how do you work yourself out of it. Beyond, "it is what it is"...and I don't really want to hear what a pain little girls are, because they are not. And, I would've loved having a daughter. Thanks, and please be gentle. I know that I am blessed beyond belief. Just wanting to work through this and get to the other side.[/quote]
