[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a girl and TBH, I'm kind of hoping she's not going to be a sitting quietly getting a mani pedi, or shopping kind of girl. I'm hoping she's going to be a mountain biking, hiking, ball of sass. But, she's going to be who she is, and I'm already anticipating I'm going to have to learn to use glitter and eyeshadow.

My SIL is deeply depressed about not having a girl. She had two really great little boys and can't even appreciate what an awesome family she has.

I wonder how many of you women deeply pining for a girl have unresolved mommy issues, or self esteem issues?  Is it about wanting to mold someone into a mini me? [/quote]

I hate it when people crow about their girls being "sassy" or "feisty". It's such gendered language that you rarely hear used to describe our sons.[/quote]

No, boys get "rambunctious", "busy"  or "such a BOY". I want my daughter to buck against the little lady stereotypes, meek and quiet aT lunch like a PP mentioned. I want a who has opinions and a voice. I want her to ask questions, disagree, and not be scared to be who she is...so yes, in current terminology that I can quickly use to Illustrate who I hope she'll be - I want sassy. [/quote]

Huh. I have two boys, but if I have a girl I will use the same language to describe how I hope she will be as I do with my sons - confident, brave, and compassionate. No need to water it down with gendered language like spunky, sassy, or feisty.[/quote]

Sassy is truly barf-worthy.[/quote]
