If one more person says...
"I hope it's a girl" in my family, I am going to kick them in the shins.
DH and I found out that it's a  but we are keeping it to ourselves. DH isn't going to be there when I deliver so I wanted him to be able to find out now instead of by letter.
My Mom actually told me she only wants to know what I'm having if it's a girl, and DH's cousin said she saw all of these cute girl clothes that she can't wait to buy.
Can someone on here think of a snappy comeback I can say?  I don't know why this is getting to me so much, but it is.

Re: If one more person says...
If you dont want to give the sex away.. then I really wouldnt say anything.. I know its sucks to hear those comments people say but they will learn that they stuck there foot in there mouth later on.

Re: If one more person says...
That would drive me insane! I'm shocked that women are saying those things....men u kind of expect to say dumb stuff! Next time they say it just say ' well, if it is a girl, i hope she knows better than to say things like that!' and walk away... then maybe they will get it!  Sorry, i'm cranky today and that annoyed me that people were so rude to you!...
Can I ask, ( because i'm nosey), why DH won't be there for the birth??

Re: If one more person says...
I know how you feel........
My DH and I found out the sex of our baby and have decided that we don't want anyone else to know, we want to surprise them all. But so may people are driving me crazy about it being a girl. My father just looks at me and says "oh- I hope you don't have a boy"......my Grandmother will say stuff along the same lines......It actually kind of hurts because I am so afraid that people are going to be disappointed in our little boy when he finally arrives......
I don't know what to say to them either though.......

Thanks --- I liked that one!
I am a MarinesMommyToBe - LOL. DH is leaving on Tuesday for 5 months of training so he will miss my delivery.
He could have postponed it, but I didn't want him to miss 5 months of the baby's life. This way, he leaves as scheduled and only misses the first month.

Re: If one more person says...
This is the reason I'm just telling everyone the sex, and NOT telling them the name -
No negative comments re: "I hope it's a boy" or "You look like sh*t, you MUST be having a girl" .........
And no havign to listen to "eh, I dont' like THAT name ........" -

Re: If one more person says...
i always wondered about ppl like that.
Some said "Youre having a boy.. " id say no its a girl.. "really?"  yeah really.
So later when folks started to say " I hope its a boy" I'd reply "and if it isnt?" Most HATED being put on the spot.
Or just say "I only hope its healthy" no one has a come back to that one! Ha!
and one last one "Well, boy or girl, I can't send it back for a change when its out so we'll just have to live with it, wont we?"
Good Luck!

I get this all the time and I already have 3 boys and #4 is a boy... we haven't shared that with our famlies.... but it puts a lot of pressure on us. I just say smile and ignore it!

Re: If one more person says...
I can't believe people...!!! I would say something like, "Really? I was just hoping it's healthy." Give a little guilt trip.

Re: If one more person says...
I was just telling DH yesterday that I HATE when people tell me what they hope I'll have. I always feel like they're putting pressure on me & like they'll be disappointed or unhappy if I have the opposite.
I'm sorry everyone is being so rude

I was going to say something similar to this but a step further. " Really? I would never wish for one or the other you have no idea how many people out there struggle for years to have a healthy baby ."
