I am going to strangle the next person who tells me how deeply sorry they are that I am having my 3rd boy or who asks with a big thumbs up if I am "getting the girl" this time. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

np: ditto! My boys are so cute together. We're expecting #3 and this one is a girl. Everyone who asks is like "oh, you must be soooo relieved!" Ah no, I'm happy, but I would have been happy with another boy too. [ Reply | More ]

You are so lucky, you have your own team! When people say things like that I give them a strange puzzled look as if to say "You couldn't have meant what you just blurted out". I love to leave people feeling mortified for themselves. [ Reply | More ]

I'm sorry. This sucks. Try to make light of these situations and ask if they know of any contractors b/c you want to install a urinal. ??? If the boys are out of earshot, I'd simply tell them that their comments are insensitive. [ Reply | More ]

I feel you. I have two boys and am newly pg w/#3, and I think we're not going to find out the sex w/this baby bc I don't want to deal with other people's comments [ Reply | More ]

I posted above, we thought about not finding out and everyone we mentioned it to thought it was because I couldn't deal with knowing we were having another boy and wanted to "delay the pain." UGH. Decided to find out (not because of those comments.) People will say weird/insensitive/inappropriate things no matter what you do! [ Reply | More ]

oh, I know. people have already asked (before I was pg), when are you going to try for your girl? you can't be done, you don't have your girl yet? I find it very bizarre and annoying, this obsession. My kids are my kids. I love them. [ Reply | More ]

people are beyond rude and I'm sorry anyone says that to you. But the truth is I'd feel sorry for you; I just wouldn't show it. You love all your kids of course but I'd be regretful if I had three of the same gender [ Reply | More ]

I can't believe someone would say that. Please! As if one gender is better than another. There's joy in children, not a variety of genders.... [ Reply | More ]

Wow. I wonder what my Dad went through, being that he had 5 girls and 0 boys... I think its bothering you b/c you have some guilt for having wanted a girl. You will absolutely love this little guy more than life. Most people just don't know how to act, you're "supposed to" want a "balanced" family (Mom wants a girl, Dad a boy, if there's more than 1), so it can be socially awkward... F*** 'em and have a great life!!! [ Reply | More ]
