I have 3 children (2 daughters aged 4 and 2, and a son who is 10 months), when I was pregnant with #3 EVERYONE made comments about how "it better be a boy" or "You're in for it if it's another girl" I found these sorts of comments just so unsettling….I ADORE my daughters, why wouldn't I want another one?! I wished for another girl just to spite the people who made such comments!<br />I also ADORE my son and feel so blessed to have him, but I would have been equally thrilled to have another little girl. And I totally agree with you so far - my children are 3 very different people so I do experience differences in mothering them, but it's not because of their gender. Thanks for putting it out there!

I have a special place in my heart for little boys (probably because I have 5 brothers and 4 nephews and now a son of my own) so naturally I wanted a son but my husband also have a 17 year old daughter and let me tell you....proms, dances, shopping the whole shebang, I love it all! I'm hoping my next is a girl. I love the chaos that boys bring ( possibly because it reminds me so much of my childhood?) but I'm ready for a little girl :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-15275958423356911302014-02-10T09:13:55.423-05:002014-02-10T09:13:55.423-05:00AMEN to this POST!

She LOVES baby dolls, along with puzzles, cars and space shuttles. She HATES wearing dresses and LOVES the color pink. She would LIVE outdoors if we let her and for now wants to ride a rocket ship when she grows up. She also LOVES to clean and help me cook. None of those things are gender specific. It is who she is. Every child is an individual despite of their gender! I can't stand the "boy club or the girl club" concept. It is just insane to me!

From "not another boy," to "I was praying this would be a girl," to "I hope you'll try again next time and hopefully get lucky and have a girl." It caused me so much sadness to hear people disappointed with the gender of my child. I'm glad you posted this because I agree that's there's way too pressure in the US to have one of each gender and anyone that has any different is inferior or missing something. Not true. To me my two boys and one girl is perfect.

I personally was not a daddy's girl. I have always been closer to my mom. :) Lynsey @ Eternally Wanderlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515849093918220265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-39544965441801827412014-02-10T07:38:49.855-05:002014-02-10T07:38:49.855-05:00I am a girl (obviously) and am NOT a daddy's g...I am a girl (obviously) and am NOT a daddy's girl.<br /><br />My mom is my best friend.Ashley Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491310449243979745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-24838440128571125342014-02-10T07:38:09.261-05:002014-02-10T07:38:09.261-05:00I'm curious, does your mom have both a son and...I'm curious, does your mom have both a son and a daughter? Was she speaking from her personal experience? If so, then I suppose she was just expressing her truth. If not, then I've got nothin' Haha!!

I have a friend that us expecting her third. She has two girls...she's been told that she needs a boy because they are SO much easier. This coming from a mom with only one child--a son. Two, I get the pity states all the time. "I don't know how you do it," rides my last nerve. What's wrong with three healthy and happy girls. I'm blessed. Btw, I disagree with folks that say a family of four with one of each is the "perfect family". Disgusts me every time. Am I too sensitive? My two cents...but I have more. I'll stop for now.
