How rude for anyone to comment with a negative.
I have 3 girls and we were more then happy.

I have 2 beautiful boys and I’m expecting a 3rd boy. When I was told it was another boy I had a very tiny moment of disappointment which went away very quickly when the woman doing my scan said were you hoping for a girl. I got a little mad that anyone would suggest I didn’t want my boy. A girl would have been lovely but I am absolutely thrilled to be adding a 3rd boy to my crazy little family. I told someone the other day that my boys are a little feral but they are my feral. I wouldn’t change a thing about them or our lives. I dont understand why sound effects are so funny but I love listening to them laugh. My boys are the best and i love my life with them.

I had a stranger at the pool today tell me I was lucky to have a girl because he has two boys and his wife wanted a girl. He then went on to say that boys are amazing, but I still found it an odd thing to say. I’ve never had a gender preference. Why be unhappy with the child you’ve got? I was just lucky to have babies.

That’s a shame that the person who said that to you is a complete moron.

My husband has two boys, Ethan 13 and Riley 10, I also have a son Riley who is 9. We are expecting a baby girl in April, we are delighted to be having a girl but would have been equally pleased if we were expecting a boy. I think whatever combination you get with whatever the number of children you decide to have be happy that you are blessed with what you have. If your happy then that is what counts and you will be a great parent for it.

I have 2 beautiful boys and when I was pregnant with my second son I did think it would be nice to have a boy and a girl. I actually was quite comvinced I was having a girl. Now that my son is here (8 months) I wouldn’t have it any other way! Things are so much easier with passing on clothes and toys and I’m sure things will get even easier in this regard as they get older. People already ask me if I’m going to have another to try for a girl, I just smile and say no we are done and happy with our boys. I think it is human nature for people to think this way. As a woman I’m sure it would be nice to have a daughter and experience that bond like I have with my own mother but for now I am very content with my gorgeous little men.

I have three boys and one girl and no longer do I get ohh, it’s lovely you have boys and a girl, I get “your poor daughter won’t have anyone to play with at home”, to which I always reply, she has her brothers and many female friends.

I have a boy and am pregnant with my second which is a girl but I would have been just as thrilled with another boy.

just give them this reply: I have been blessed with two beautiful healthy boys what else would I wish for.

You are blessed with what you are given. Be grateful that they are happy and healthy.

I have 5 boys, and was just recemtly blessed with my princess.. I pity any boys she dates in the future… Shes going to be one well protected little girl….

I am the mum of 3 adult boys . Yes , I did have some people making comments about it being a shame that I didn’t have a girl . I’d always said that I wanted 3 boys , my mother remembers me saying this in my early teens . I was very happy to have the boys and used to tell people so .

Hahaha. I have two boys and it’s often been said to me, but wouldn’t you like to have had a girl? Nope. I say that one of my boys is like having a girl anyway, the amount of time he changes in the day. Something’s on for five minutes, it goes in the wash and he puts something else on. The amount of hair product, dryer, straightener, none of them are mine. I also reckon my eldest gets pre-menstrual as well. So no, I don’t miss having a girl.

I have 2 boys also one 5 and one 5 months. I love just watching them. Heath looks up at hisnbig brother with such admirarion and declan reads and sings to heath all the time. They are so special to each other, the best of friends. Wouldnt change it for the world. They are inseperable

Yes I’ve actually had that said to me also but it’s a shame I have 2 boys I know I am definitely not missing out on anything as long as your children are healthy and happy that’s all that matters actually walked away thinking about it for the rest of the day and came to the conclusion but it makes no difference if you have 2 girls altar boys or a boy and a girl I actually wanted to have boys anyway just my preference

Growing up as the eldest of three girls, I just love having my two boys. They are a refreshing change and as we all know boys love their mums the best!

that comment was incredibly rude. wow. i hope you explained to them how rude it was!

As crazy as it is, many people do still have this notion that having one of each creates the “perfect” family unit and many of whom also make these comments without even realizing how bad it actually sounds and how absurd the comment really is. But for several generations now, that was presented as the ideal situation, so many of us have just subconsciously taken on that idealization and therefore just naturally assumed that this must really be what we’d all really like. It is quite funny though, how this apparently means everything is so perfect then and that you were so “lucky” to have had one of each, even more so if the boy has come first! But these are very old fashioned views which were ingrained into our predecessors for the past 100 years or more due to wars, poverty and a myriad of other socioeconomic situations. These idealizations were greatly fueled by media, governments and corporations so it has been considered as the “stereotypical norm” for a very long time now. But even as ridiculous the situation may seem, unless someone has actually stopped and really thought about this, then it’s an assumption that’s still unfortunately going to be around for some time to come yet, especially for those without children!

Couldn’t have said it better myself!! I have an almost 7 year old & a 2.5 year old & I wouldn’t have it any other way!! They are super funny & best mates. Yes, when they fight they do it well but the times they are laughing hysterically, wrestling, playing cars, sneaking treats behind the door together it is awesome!! We don’t have makeup & dolls & princess castles to build. Its motorbikes, mud & hotwheels cars. When people say are you going to try for a girl, our response is why? We are happy just as we are. If we had a girl we would be just as happy but I have never & will never wish to trade my boys for anything!!

That was one ridiculous comment that person made. You didn’t take it serious I hope ? You be happy and proud of your 2 gorgeous boys !!
What different does the sex of your children make ? Once they are born it’s all about their unique personalty’s which are entrusted to you.
I myself have a boy and a girl and 2 more girls in permanent care. I don’t know and don’t want different.
