Somebody I know had a boy after 2 girls

**Glittergirl** · April 2nd, 2011, 03:12 AM

It's funny because I am totally content with three boys (besides the fact that Dh has always wanted a DD and of course I would be overjoyed having a DD) but I feel like it's others opinions like "you gonna try for that girl?" It's almost like I will disappoint others if I don't have a DD. It's like you have to have a mix...People don't believe you if you say you are happy having all boys or all girls.

I agree it seems those that dont care get both. A friend of mine has just had a girl after 2 boys and she didnt care either. But then you get those smug people too who get what they want every time, they are the worst!

A friend of mine has 2 little girls & #3 was a baby boy..she had him last year after I had my second DD. I also have a different friend that has 2 DD's, & is pregnant with baby #3, she got told at 12 weeks that the baby was a boy, needless to say she was thrilled, then at 16 weeks again was told a baby boy, at 20 weeks told they couldnt see boy parts from above anymore....at 24wks (this past monday) she was told they made a mistake, & she isnt having a DS, she's having DD #3. Shes pretty upset, not so much because its a girl, because shes wanted a boy for so long & she feels like she had one for a short while & had him taken away.

The people that don't believe "you are happy" it is because they had disappointment or they were kids of disappointed parents....

my 1/2 bros grandma wanted a girl but got 3 boys (Bruce, Steve, and Jordan). She talked a lot about wantig a girl and then wanted a granddaughter... she had 3 grandsons and finally a girl, Bruce paid $120,000 over several years. Steve had one sone, my bro, and never wanted kids anyways. And to top it all off Jordan is gay and he said growing up all he ever heard was he should have been a girl.

I pray I can keep my kids from hear stuff like that... no girl could replace my boys.

I completely agree!!! I have come to the conclusion most people get what they didn't really want. And the ones that never cared, truly, get one of each. No idea why. My grandmother wanted all boys, she got 3 girls and was too scared to try for a 4th. Pretty sure my parents wanted a boy and they got me. I've wanted 2 girls, never cared for a boy at all as I'm very girly and I have 2 boys so far. But, you know, not many people will admit a preference as it's considered wrong by society you know, the mom isn't supposed to care. I think everyone deep down has a preference but few admit it. I still have really bad gender dissapointment days a lot and on one of the worst days when I was pregnant with DS2 DH DS1 and I went out to eat and EVERYONE had all girls, then a family got sat next to us that had 4 girls and I just lost it at the dinner table I was so upset. It seems everyone has a girl but ME so I know how you feel.

I couldn't agree more with you on that Purplepoet! My mom mentioned last time she was visiting how "funny" it was that I have only girls since I have always said I wanted boys. She said it IN FRONT of my daughters. I was LIVID. I never, ever, ever want my girls to think they are anything less than perfect in my eyes. She got an earful from me later and knows better than to say anything like that again. Ugh. Makes me mad still thinking about how thoughtless it was.

I will also add that part of the reason I always "wanted boys" is because I have such a ... tough... relationship with my own mother, LOL! Doing my best to realize that is between me and her, and doesn't mean my girls and I will have a tough road ahead of us.

Just thinking about this more and I think when my friends "don't care" and then get their pair, it is harder for me to deal with. A dear friend who DESPERATELY wanted a daughter and already has a son got her girl, and I was thrilled for her. Which surprised me. So I do think it is harder to deal with when people either apparently don't care, OR when they are super smug about how they have one of each. That I truly can't stand.

I've had some friends go one way and some the other. One friend recently had BBG and another BBB and on FB all I ever see now mostly is the pic of the new baby girl. I have a couple of those "smug" friends that both have BG pigeon pair and I've definitely pulled back from them. They even go as far as commenting all the time when we're all together how "I'm so lucky we finally got our girl". Makes me feel like crap :-(

May be true in some cases but not always, cause we have 2 girls & my husband really doesn't care what our third is, he even tried talking me out of swaying, he believes what we get given is whats meant to be, I wish I felt that way. Im the one who really, really wants a boy.
