[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two girls and have never wanted a boy - either me or my husband.  We couldn't be happier and we love them immensely.  My best friend has two boys and feels the same way.  Honestly, I feel sorry for people who think they're missing out on something but not having either another kid or a different gender.  I understand why that may happen (infertility, lack of finances, etc.), and I don't mean that I feel sorry for them in a mean way, I mean I genuinely feel sorry for people who aren't perfectly happy with the family they have.[/quote]

You can be perfectly happy with the family you have but also understand that having any one family configuration means you don't get to experience a different kind of configuration that has it's own joys.  It's not just gender but number of kids, spacing, etc. I have a boy and girl close in age.  Love my kids and having one of each and close in age.  But I know there are aspects of an all-boys family, an all-girls family, a family with 4 kids, a family where the kids are several years apart, and so on, that simply are not part of this life but would be wonderful too.  Doesn't mean I'm not happy with what I have. [/quote]
