And did I mention that while I am enduring this torturous gathering of PP families I am on the LE diet and craving the largest, juiciest chicken breast I can imagine!?!? Oh it was a tough evening. None of them have any idea what an easy hand they were dealt!

I must be pretty cynical because I think nearly every PP family believes in their own superiority and that getting both sexes isn't random but a sign that they've done some indefinable thing right. I think that's why they say things like "It'll just be another boy/girl," etc. They're just too invested in believing in their own superiority to really care how anyone else feels.
I think your friend was trying to be helpful, though. True, she doesn't really know what it's like not to have a girl but she does know what it's like to have a boy and was probably just showing you that she feels positively about them.
So true trifecta. That night I couldn't help but look around and think I won't ever have a girl. There needs to be somebody who is the boy mom, there is always all boy moms around and I just have this irking feeling maybe that will be me? Inferior!
And when I hear of two boy moms getting their girl I think "NO! Statistically there will only be so many 2 blue 1 pink moms so if others are becoming that there won't be any statistical room for me". I feel like I am totally screwed.

I so get you on that Statistic thing. I know there has to be some all boy Mums but never thought I'd be one of the 'unlucky' ones. I'm in contact with a few BBG (my dream family since childhood) families lately and one being a friend and I think of how lucky they are to have lucked out like that in life and to get my girl I'm either going to have to have more kids than I really wanted and can handle without too much strain or strain myself trying to raise the money for HT and then go through this crazy process.Quote:

P.S I bet their girls are not as cool as your boys anyhow. I wish there was some easy thing to say to shut up people like that. I think your friend was trying to help even though there is no way she could understand but at least she was trying
Sorry, that made me LOL!Quote:

Was that off the main page somewhere?
In my signature, there's a link to the Complete Index and it's in there
Someone at work said last month "you're so lucky you don't have any girls" and then went on to tell a 'hilarious' story about her little daughter.
I had to walk away before the tears started. It was about a week after my HT BFN
I hate people sometimes!Quote:
