[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll admit it.  I wanted a girl and would have had some initial disappointment about a boy.  I just felt I’d be better at mothering a girl.  Luckily I did have a girl.  A crazy active one however!!  I would not resort to IVF to pick a girl tho, but I get it. [/quote]

I felt the same prior to getting pregnant!  Just more anxious about knowing what to do with a boy.  (I’m fairness I’m also lesbian so it’s not like a have a male partner to defer to although my partner was less scared of parenting a boy interestingly.)  We ended up with one of each, without gender selection since luckily IUIs worked for us, and I haven’t found parenting them that different because of sex so far — they both like trucks and climbing things and flowers and glitter.  I expect it’ll get more complicated by the time they hit middle school but frankly that’s when everything gets complicated so I doubt gender will the worst part.

My father was always very close with his mother so I’m not actually worried my boy will be less attentive as an adult child.  I expect it will depend more on their personalities than anything.[/quote]
