[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People say the dumbest things. I'm preg with DC2 (DC1 is a girl) and the other day at the dentist, both the secretary and the hygienist said "Oh, I hope you have a boy" in such an incredibly concerned way. This is after I made it crystal clear that I have zero preference for either sex. I only heard about people saying things like that on DCUM, couldn't believe it happened IRL. I should've said "Well, I don't" but I was so stunned. They are both moms to only boys and I guess they hope I get to experience something similar to what they have, but it's an insulting to my potential DD2! Sorry, didn't mean to take over with my vent. OP, it is so annoying the things people say about your reproduction is my point.[/quote]
Same experience here, only mine are both boys, and people were wishing me a girl. [b]I guess some still view "one of each" as ideal[/b].[/quote]

NP here. Yes, I think people still view one of each as ideal.  I have one of each so I hear it a lot.  But even worse to me is that my son is my second child and is my bio kid; my first was adopted and once people found out we were having a boy, the comments kept rolling in that I must be so happy to be having "one of my own" and a boy at at that.
