[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think it has to do with like...a lot of people act like disappointed towards moms with all boys.[/b] I don't know if that is the right word. But my SIL has three boys and people constantly react like with sympathy, and ask if they'll go for another to try for a girl. She regularly gets like...compassion offered for this tribulation of not having a girl. So IME it is moms in a position like that [b]trying to turn it into a positive[/b], like, hey I only have boys but I love that! [/quote]

I totally agree.[/quote]

I would have hated having girls and many people I know feel that way.

Of course I would have made the best of it.[/quote]

To be clear, I don't think it's a negative to have all boys at all!  I've been floored by some of the rude comments that my friends who have all boys have heard from others over the years.  Presumptions that they kept trying for a girl and were disappointed each time, oh it must crush you to see little girls and not have one, don't you wish you could shop for cute dresses for a daughter etc.  None of which are true. (And yes, some of those same moms I know proudly wear these shirts!) [/quote]

I take back I would hated having a girl because I would have nurtured on crazy tomboy, psyche.. I would have let her be whatever she wanted and I do the same for my boys. All my nieces are outdoorsy, one is a raft guide and one is a backpack guide. They are awesome.[/quote]
