You can't always get what you want. I want a mansion and a life of leisure. Oh well.

It's gross but not that uncommon. This is actually a reason that the whole "boy mom" and "girl dad" phenomenon does't bother me -- I think sometimes it's how someone experiencing disappointment in not having a child who shares their sex. I think often people get this idea in their head of what parenting will be like and it's gendered -- dad tossing a ball around with their sons or moms going shopping with their daughters (if these sound like gross stereotypes to you that's the point -- many people still live in a very gendered world and those stereotypes are reality to them). So they look for a different model for what parenting can look like and something like #boymom can fit the bill.

In any case while I agree with you that what she is doing and saying is hurtful to her sons I also feel for her. She's been trapped by an ideal of motherhood that she can't access. I hope she can see the blessing her kids are and learn that gender is honestly a pretty minor part of most people's identity (not an irrelevant one but it doesn't dictate whether we are kind or sensitive or creative or strong willed or really most personality traits).

We tried that but had to stop for medical reasons. We have only sone, no daughters.

Not uncommon. Not sure why you think it's remarkable.

I've seen this crazy in both directions. It will sound weird to say, but at least when they're chasing a girl it's usually the mom's choice to go through another pregnancy. When the dad is cursing and breaking things at a gender reveal because it's another girl, you just know that uterus is in for another go whether she wants it or not.

My cousin has 3 boys. She was basically crying and angry about having boys. “We will keep trying until I get a girl.” She said this in front of one of her boys. I felt bad for him. She might as well say “I don’t want you. You aren’t good enough.” I don’t get it.
