When family members have GD

**PrimalMamma** · March 31st, 2015, 11:29 PM

My son has GD. He is 6 in 2 weeks. He is now fixed on the idea that we are going to adopt a baby sister after this baby is born. We went shopping for the baby the other day & he found a pile of pink clothes & shoes which he wanted to buy for when we adopt his baby sister. [emoji24] Poor kid x

So sorry you have DS1's GD to deal with. My DS1 was the same age when I was pregnant with DS3 and he was also disappointed. But he got over it and now he loves his brother so much. DS3 is like the light of the family, always happy, always giving everyone cuddles and making everyone laugh. He is very cute and my DS1 hasn't given his wish for a sister much thought since his initial disappointment. Even now that we are most likely having a DD (still don't believe it though), he doesn't seem to mind if it is indeed another brother. He even said "My little baby brother or sister", as if it doesn't matter to him. So, this too will pass and he will be fine!

So sorry your son has Gd Primalmama! I hope your son will feel the same as Claire's son once your third son is born. Big hugs to you, it's not easy.

Sorry to hear that primal, my eldest always wanted a sister. When we had our 12 week scan and it looked like a boy, i told the boys we were having a new baby and it was a boy to announce the pregnancy, so i didn't get his hopes up for tge 3rd time. It's hard but once you have the baby i hope he's too smitten to worry about it. He sounds like he will be a hands on big bro xx

My adult son had GD (not bad, mild) and really wanted a little sister. Then right when we had her, we moved. :/ He said "I feel like I missed everything".
