Ugh! What Is Wrong With People?!
Ok, here goes the pregnancy hormones!
So, my step brother's girlfriend texted me to congratulate me on my pregnancy, and how to spell DS2's name. She then asks if we were trying for another boy or a girl? WTF? I politely texted her back that we want another heathy baby and having three of a kind would be pretty special, although having a girl would be neat. I haven't told a soul we were swaying for a girl for DH, and I completely meant what I told her. I would be over the moon to have another boy! I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. She is pregnant with her second girl.
She then texts me that if we have another boy, we could almost have our own football team and didn't want to give up all the pink and glitter. Ok, now I want to punch her in the face! I text her back saying she can keep it! I love my boys and wouldn't want to trade them for a girl any day! WTF?! What is wrong with people?! What is wrong with me?! If I am pregnant with a girl (right now we don't know what we are having), I just threw her under the bus to save face with a dip shit! What kind of mom does that make me? Ugh! I would love to give DH a girl, but I want to protect our desires from other people. I calmed down and texted her back saying that I would love to have a girl or another boy. I struggled to get pregnant this time and really just want a healthy baby. At least I saved some face but feel that this is not going to be the last of the onslaught of stupid comments from people!!
Thanks for listening to my rant!

I'm beginning to wonder if the people who have all girls long for a boy themselves and that is why they seem insensitive. I know in my case, my step brother wanted a boy badly. He doesn't appear to have GD, but neither does my DH to other people.
Why can't people just be delighted, or if not, simply say congratulations?! When my neighbor was having her second child, we just said congratulations and hoped for a healthy baby and smooth pregnancy for them. They turned out to have another lovely boy, and we were excited for them. Apparently we were the only ones besides grandparents. WTH?! I don't get people, and I guess I'm glad I don't get it. I love the family of five boys we see at a nearby park sometimes. Both the mom and dad have so much fun playing and interacting with their boys. We always end up chatting and playing with our kids together. The mom always says that we are so delightful because A) we don't ask questions about their large family and B) we don't make comments about gender. I always tell her that I get the gender part being a mom of two boys. People always assume we are going to try for a girl or we are worn out with our boys. That one pisses me off because my boys never wear me out! She says that boy moms sometimes make the worst comments, since they have five boys. I just don't get it! Their boys are so delightful, and I love it when we run into them there because I know my boys will have well behaved, decent children to play with!

Why can't people just be happy for one another? I swear having a child can bring out the ass in people. I can understand an old woman losing her filter, but geesh! I have learned so much from all of this! I mean unless people go HT the outcome is out of people's hands. Yet it seems with the comments and questions it seems people have forgotten that. Of course wouldn't we all want to wave a magic wand or be granted our wishes, but we know that rarely happens!
