[quote=Anonymous]I have a girl and a boy. My DD who I love and adore is much more challenging, defiant, hard headed, and oppositional practically from the day she was born. I have no worries that she will succeed in the real world once she’s left for college but I worry she will never come back. My DH and I believe she’s wanted to leave for college since she was 5. I never wanted or expected a mini me and I celebrate the young woman she is.

My son on the other hand is much more even keeled, is still independent but seems to enjoy spending time with family, kinder with friends and family. He’s also a big jock, so all the testosterone everywhere.

Gender stereotypes are just stereotypes. I read the entire article and if those women had a DD like mine instead of seeing the amazing person she is I worry they’d be too disappointed in the fantasy not being reality that the poor child would suffer and suffer greatly.

I had my children via PGD (which is what gender selection is, not sure why it isn’t mentioned even once in the article) IVF for a single cell mutation genetic disorder that had a 75% of inheritance. All I wanted were healthy babies. My insurance didn’t cover anything. It cost me about $150,000 for both successful pregnancies. [/quote]
