Had my baby

I can also relate to how you feel, first of all you are blessed with four boys and a great husband, however I know your heart is praying for that pink bundle to join u one day, it will happen so enjoy what you have now till she makes her entrance into your world.
Second of all, I get The worst comments from MY OWN SISTER, she knows how much I wanted DD2 to be a boy we were both due with our second babies two months a part, she had her second son which she wanted badly and I had my second DD which I did not. So she keeps telling me that I HAVE to keep trying till I get that boy so when I get old and sick and I can't find food to eat or a place to stay then my BOY would help out, HAAAA!!!! I know and I am the one who owns a house almost paid off done with my masters and I have no debt have a great job on the other hand she lives in the worst neighborhood, did not even finish her BS, no work nothing , but it is sooo sad that this why she thinks of boys. It kills me when she say that. And she keeps saying you know what happens with girls they get married and move a way and u will get nothing from them WTF what era are you living in 1920s gosh she bothers me so much but my mom who know about me going to HT and how I feel about my stupid sister tells to ignore her totally.
I would never see my self without my girls as well I can't see my self without having a son, don't let anybody brings you done about something that is out of your control . In my stupid culture and tradition mothers of only boys is looked at as a GODDESS and mothers of only girls so looked down at. Good luck to you and big congrats on having your fourth boy :)

I just don't do that kind of stuff. She's always telling me what a special bond her dd has with her dh and that "there's just something about having a daughter" that's so wonderful. Why would she say this stuff to me - a boy mom? I don't get it. On the other hand I have 2 sisters, one who has 2 girls and 3 boys and she would never dream of being snotty about it to me. In fact she tries to say "trust me, if you have girls you're just going to have to spend more money when you go shopping" to perk me up about not having a dd, lol. Anyway, hopefully your sister is sensitive to your feelings and not a total asshat like my SIL is.

Honey I know how you feel! And I have two sons! My culture is very similar (even though I live in a country where the average person is gender-neutral). My sons are still favored in my family over my daughter and it makes me upset :( ...

For what it's worth - I think you have one of the best family make-ups ever. Although I am now happy with my family of 2 boys and 1 girl, it took me a long time to get to this point because I always saw myself with two or three DDs. And hopefully when you HT goes well, you'll have a son to join your family. I think two girls and 1 boy sounds perfect!

I'm sorry your SIL is like that. I think people who have to act superior about things that they really have no control over are just very insecure.

My sister has been okay. She's said and done a few things that have hurt my feelings though, almost like she's trying to rub it in and make me jealous. It's frustrating because I feel like I'm doing a good job of counting my blessings and not being jealous. Like I said though, I think it speaks to her own insecurities more than anything. She's struggling right now with other issues so I'm just trying to be supportive. I might need to step back though and try and avoid her for a while. I was over there today and she immediately pulled out all the new girly things she bought.

Thank you and good luck with your HT journey.

I have to say that I love what you said about women with all boys being seen as goddesses, lol. Right before I had my baby I went to get a pedicure and the man who did it was so impressed that I was having my 4th son. He kept telling me it was very good luck. It made me feel so good.

Congrats on your new baby! You truly have the right attitude and a great husband. It sounds like you and your sister have a strong relationship and she will understand how you feel.

I found out last week im having baby girl #3. My SIL is currently TTC (she has 1 daughter & REALLY wants a boy, as did we with this pregnancy) so i know once she gets pregnant & finds out shell get a boy...she always seems to get what she wants. I know ill feel a tad jealous seeing her buy boy things, etc. But ill have my 3 girls to get me thru it :)

That's definitely a good way to look at it :) xx

Just wanted to say huge congratulations on the safe arrival of your baby boy, and some huge hugs to hearing your sisters news. I know when my sisters come to have families they WILL have girls because they dont mind what they have. I am currently pregnant again and am sure all going well I will be posting the arrival of my fourth boy......i wish everyone could get a break and get their DG xx x

Halah congrats on your baby boy!!

I was sick to my stomach when my sister went for her ultrasound, I thought she'd get a boy after 2 girls, but I was so relieved when she said its a girl, I know its sounds terrible, but I know she'll be feeling the same way when I go for my gender scan & I know she's hoping I get another girl.

Dd1 :ballerina: Dd2 :giggle: & OMG Im :pregnant:
