Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

I hear you!!!

My DS is 3.5. We are expecting twin boys in May. DH and I are thrilled to be having 2 more boys. We did sorta want one girl but that's ok! Boys are fun & easy for the most part. The comments I get from people are the same...I say I am expecting twin boys and they say Awww no girls for you? I am totally 100% fine with my boys!

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

I have 3 so I know how you feel. We didn't find out the sex all three times, and I always heard the comments. After giving birth to my third son, when I called a certain family member from the hospital with the news, they asked if I was disappointed. I learned not to take it to heart, people say dumb things. I still get comments when people see my with the three of them. I just blow it off. Congrats on your 3rd boy!

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

I have two boys and one girl, but when I was pregnant with the twins I got similar comments. We went to find out the genders and they were only able to tell us one was a boy.... the other they werent sure of. When I told family the news I could not believe the comments. "Oh God, I hope the third is not a boy" "I'm praying so hard for you to get your girl" etc. I would have been perfectly happy with 3 boys... actually i may have slightly wanted boys the most...
but congrats on your third boy!

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

People are idiots. I found out today that I am having another boy and we are truly thrilled. I am already getting lots of satisfaction out of shutting up all those people who guessed it was a girl or expressed any desire for it to be a girl. As soon as we said we were expecting the "i hope it's a girl" and "i think it's a girl" comments started and I found them so annoying. DH told MIL tonight and I know she was hoping for a girl and she had the nerve to ask DH if we were happy it was a boy Are you serious? What kind of question is that!

Congrats on another boy!

Congrats!!!!!!!!! My two boys are BEST FRIENDS now at 10 months and 3 years! The youngest is now running around, and they hide in corners together giggling--he follows my older son everywhere, and it is soo adorable. I am so, so glad I had two, and glad they are boys and will hopefully be best friends forever.

There will always be haters--when we told my dad the second was a boy, he said oh, you already have one of those. I was thrilled then, and even more now.

And you know what? Whether the same sex or different sex, they are all so different!

Congrats to the OP--I think that is amazing news!

i have 4 boys and I have encountered are you going for the girl from my mail lady, cashiers at the store, my ped...almost everyone...if only they could understand my love for my boys, they would never ask that question...people just dont undertstand (but I do boys are amazing!!!)

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

I love my boys too! I am SO not a girl mommy. Having a 3rd is a slim possibility and I am positive it will be a boy!!!

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

Crashing just to say that I have gone through years of infertility and pregnancy loss and my friends KNOW THIS. When I got pregnant this time, it started out as twins. One of my friends says to me, "I really hope it's one of each!!!!!"



That rubbed me the wrong way. I told her I really hope they're healthy.

People say idiotic things. Maybe that's how TEHY would feel so they project their feelings onto you. I'm sorry for any gender comments you hear because really having 3 (healthy!) boys is so special and such a blessing. You're a very lucky lady!

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

I love having 2 . We plan to have a third one day, but it has nothing to do with trying for a girl. If I have another boy who's as sweet as the two I have now, I'd consider myself very lucky. People will make comments no matter what. Ignore them.

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

Congratulations!

I can't imagine anything better than having 3 kids.... Especially 3 boys. I would be happy with one more! How lucky!!!!

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

Every single nice comment made my day, and you all said some things that are completely true to how I feel. I feel REALLY lucky and happy and blessed...

Thanks again everyone!

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

I understand. I have twin boys and am pregnant with #3 (who i have a strong feeling is a boy!) Everyone and their mother has said something along the lines of "i hope this one is a girl" one family memeber even started a sentence with "i know you don't want another boy but if it is..." People are insensitive sometimes. I try to let it not get to me because I know (for the most part ) their intention is still good. My kids will be 20 months apart, aside from shim being healthy, I want it to SLEEP that is my answer, and its true! I see the bond my boys have already (18 months) and it is really just amazing, and boys LOVE their momma !!! Just smile and nod

And if you had found out it was a girl they would have said- "oh you don't knw what you are in for- the DRAMA with girls!" "girls are more difficult than boys!" "Wait till she's a teenager!" "good luck with that!"
Etc Etc

Because some people don't have a filter and they can NEVER just be happy for you.
NEVER.

Brush it off. Don't even listen.

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

People with no filters truly grate on my nerves. I have two daughters. Two of the COOLEST, sweetest, smartest, most fun lil munchkins in the world! I have always dreamt of having the "prefect" family of a and a , but this is MY perfect family. I get the "girl" comments about how I'm screwed when they are teenagers and the drama and the stress they will cause me. Well, I have 3 sisters and honestly, I recall very LITTLE drama in our household.

The comments used to really upset me because I always DID want one of each. Now I just laugh at them bc I am grateful to God to be their mother and I KNOW how lucky I am to have these lil ladies in my life.

Don't listen to anyone! With 3 boys you will always be the Queen of the house!

Re: Feeling a little sad about something..(comments about gender)

I have 3 boys. People say the rudest things.....some of whom are family members. Example, day I came home from the hospital someone looked in my DS#3's eyes and told him that they were disappointed with him for being a boy. WTF?

My 3 little boys are the best of friends already. Now that the baby is almost a year, it's great to watch the 3 of them play together. Lots of fun times ahead!
