[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m not going to apologize for having some level of disappointment because I feel it’s normal. There are many posts on here and other sites about women saying this about never having a a daughter or having a boy instead of a girl. I don’t know why I’m met with such hate when they are met with such love.

I don’t hate my child. I’m a planner. Have you ever had a life you envisioned for yourself and not that’s not happening? It doesn’t mean I won’t love my daughter. I never had a great relationship with my mom ( went to therapy for it) but I will be sure not to put that negative issues on to my relationship with my children.

I grew up with 4 brothers with is why I said I relate more to boys. I’m a very girly woman with lots of female friends. I see my brothers being best friends and when I had a boy, I always hoped I would have another to give him that same kind of relationship my brothers have.

We are excited and happy. I’m only 11 weeks but baby is looking good.

I’m sure as I start to get further along and shop for a little girl that I will become more excited. I have no doubt I will love this child just as much as my first. [/quote]
But you had a great relationship with your drunk abusive dad? How so?[/quote]

OP here. No. I don’t have a relationship with him either. I have forgiven both of them but don’t have a relationship with either of them. [/quote]

Just wanted to say I am sorry about your mother and father.  You deserved better and I am sure you will be a good mother to your daughter as well as you are to your son! Wishing you the best.[/quote]
