Why do you want your desired Gender?

[BoysMamaTTC4aGirl]

I want a girl because I see the amazing bond between my sons and DH b/c they want to be just like him and do everything just like Daddy does and I would love to have that same type of relationship with a little girl. Also, when boys grow up and get married, it just seems that mom kind of has to take a major step back so as not to "overstep" with the daughter in law. But I feel like you can always "mother" your little girl, especially if/when she has children of her own.

I have to admit though, I'm completely overwhelmed at the thought of putting together cute outfits and making sure her hair is cute all the time, etc. I'm a very girly person, but I've gotten so used to taking care of little boys, that all that extra effort seems very daunting.

Yeah I also don;t want to be the MIL too. I'd love to talk to my daughter about my pregnancies when she is pregnant and give her advice and be the maternal grandmother.
I also really want my partner to experience having a daughter. He is really good looking with amazing green eyes, dark hair and china doll like skin. It is a bit shallow and vain but I want to see what a girl of his looks like cos I think she could be a real beauty. His two older sons are really really handsome and you can see girls looking at them.
I don't care if she looks like me though, I just want a girl!

That is another reason too ,i dont want to always just be the MIL and the "other" grandparent

I really don't know for sure why I want a girl. I just want one of each gender. I'd be swaying for a boy if my DS was a DD.

I have always wanted both genders!! I think you want what you cant have most of the time, everybody I have met with curly hair for example wants strait and vice versa. I am one of those... I want one because I don't have one, if it was reversed I would be obsessive for blue ( I am 100% sure of this) and I REALLY want to prove all those NOSEY busy body's wrong who keep saying I will never get a girl, I am not girly enough to be a good girl mum!
I also REALLY REALLY want to give my very close and loving parents a granddaughter as they have made no secret about wanting one I feel they deserve a granddaughter as much as I deserve a daughter.
My partner wants his own little girl to "protect" as well!

We almost have the exact same reasons...the only difference is that my parents have granddaughters from both of my siblings now that the SIL and brother had a girl last year after 2 boys! I always wanted the chance to raise both and if we had 2 girls, I would have swayed my heart out for blue!!

TTC a girl mainly for family balancing on DH's side. DH is really looking forward to the father/daughter bond. That, and he says he'd love a mini version of me. Not sure that's entirely a good thing!

I can't wait to be the MIL!!!!!! This isn't why I want blue but its a great bonus now you ladies have mentioned it lol!!!!

I have wanted add some more blue to the family as DH said I can have as many children as I want just as long as I kept the blues ahead of the girls! When the girls were storming ahead he was looking happy to pull the plug, but a little bit of, well generally bullying! from me meant I was lucky enough to have now maybe? have evened it up, meaning I am free to maybe sneak a few more

MIL, I cannot wait!!!!!!!

I haven't read any other answers yet, but my story is just like yours. As a child, I feel I have tried so hard to be close to my Mum, but she didn't care and didn't seem like she wanted a girl. I always admired other girls having a great relationship with their moms and felt like I was missing out on something.
Having a daughter is the only chance I have now to have such a mother/daughter relationship which seems to be so special.
I hope your dream will still come true!!! Wishing you the best of luck for your sway!
