I say f* them!!! As much as I want a girl, I think it is cool to have 3,4,5 or 6 of one gender. It is unique and cool, plus you will probably be the cool mom when they get older and all their buddies will probably want to hang out at your house and think you are cool.

I'm a big fan of a good comeback comment that you have ready to fly....doesn't have to be mean, but how about something "educating?" I know that I always feel so much better when I say something immediately rather than walk away and WISH I said something. If they are rude, they deserve to be told so. I just don't understand why people feel the need to say anything but constructive things to strangers.

It never ends I think. Unless you have a perfect split of boys and girls you are going to get comments....then they are all about how MANY kids you have even if there is an even mix!
I have 3 boys and 1 girl (which of course I'm grateful that I got a girl) but I always get comments of "Your poor daughter! All those brothers and no sister to play with" and "Oh you better hurry and get on making another girl so that poor girl isn't alone"....like we have a choice! lol.
PS People are so stupid.Now SIXbabies!

I think this is the best thing I've heard all day! Never thought about it like that, but you are right! Instead of getting hurt by people's comments (and yes, I get comments all the time about having two boys so close in age - oh, the horror ), I need to remember that the stupid/rude/ignorant people don't actually realize that *they* are the ones with a problem, not me.

2013: twin boy stillborn at 37 weeks
Sweet baby boy, you are loved and missed more than you will ever know.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and wonder what
you would have been like. I love you and miss you so much.
Rest now, my baby, in the loving arms of Jesus.
Biggest shock of our lives - surprise BFP! And it's a GIRL!!!

I saw a mom recently at the store with several boys and I was unintentionally staring at her because I thought her boys were the cutest things ever and I was so wistful and jealous of her. I contemplated walking up to her and telling her what a beautiful family she has and I regret not doing so. I have 2 DD's and would seriously give up my life if it meant knowing I could have a boy (I realize that doesn't make sense but it's a metaphor). So if it is someone like me looking, it's b/c I am so envious.
I wish people would say more nice things to families with single genders. The one time I had a grown woman come up to me after DD2 was born and she said "I love seeing families with 2 girls! I have 2 girls and my oldest is getting married and the younger one is the MOH and they're best friends." To this day it is literally THE only positive comment I have ever gotten regarding having 2 girls. When I was pregnant I had a woman laugh at me in the store when I told her I was having another girl. In the tone of "good luck with that" aka sucks to be you.
People can be unbelievable sometimes.
