[quote=Anonymous]I was leaning towards girl - for reasons I wasn't really sure of - maybe because I thought I didn't know what to do with a boy (and the diaper changing thing)? I think it was in part because I grew up partly in a culture that preferred boys and the boys/men in my nuclear family are breathtakingly selfish. I didn't have close examples of how to raise a boy who wasn't like that. I did have a girl, but my closest long term mom friends have boys - and I see their parents raising them to be considerate humans in a way that wasn't done in my house. So I'm guessing I would have figured it out. And I've been consciously making sure I'm not raising my daughter to be a people pleaser like I was (or a selfish jerk!). [/quote]
