[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She loves her boys and doesn't feel like her life is lacking at all but posters like pp insist on tis weird narrative that she is one of those poor women that didn't have a daughter. [b]She regularly gets asked about having another baby not because they are wondering about whether their family feels complete but because people can't fathom that a lack of a girl doesn't mean a hole in her heart[/b]. It's disrespectful and stupid and so she occasionally makes jokes about being a #boymom. Not because she is pining for a girl but because everyone thinks she is!

I only pointed out the contrast because I wanted to show that there are people who experience both and can comprehend that other people are just happy with the kids they have and to show I'm not a mom of just boys since all of them are being labeled defensive [/quote]

This is oddly true, in my experience.  I have two girls and my best friend has two boys.  No one has ever asked me if I'm going to try for a boy, but she gets asked all the time if she's going to try for a girl.  [/quote]

...and, I have two boys and have never been asked if I'm going to try for a girl. Since we're talking anecdotally. [/quote]
