[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I'm loving this thread - especially hilarious are the smuggies trying to defend themselves!

Anyway, my smug mother is a woman in my group of friend with 2 boys. They didn't know either gender before birth, but to hear the mother talk, it's as if they had sex selection "I was such a tomboy growing up, I know all about football and I only wanted boys. I wouldn't know what to do with a girl. Boys are just so wonderful. I don't think I could live a girl." It's especially odd bc 2 of the women she tells this little story to have girls... And don't we all love the children we're given? [/quote]

I wonder if she's saying this because deep down inside she's secretly hoping that dc#3 is a girl. Maybe tempering her expectations. I know a lady like this who loves her two boys but confessed she cried when she learned ds#2 was a boy. She's pregnant with a 3rd and it is a boy. She says things like the mom you mentioned above.

PP here and I agree - I think this smug mother is insecure or jealous... Actually, I bet a lot of overt smugness comes from insecurity -"I'm not sure about this parenting choice, so ill just loudly announce to everyone that my child has no idea who Snoopy is so that they know I'm superior and avoid licensed characters."[/quote]
