LAS VEGAS - Katherine Asbery was so depressed that her third child was a boy, she wouldn't even say the sex. She called him "not a girl," and spent hours crying.
What a pathetic ungrateful POS this woman is. I guess she never lost a child or pregnancy. She should just thank her lucky starts that she can get pregnant and bear children and that the children are HEALTHY. If she is that upset, I am sure there would be many people willing to adopt him and be thrilled that he's a boy!
this is a little sad to me. i mean, does it matter what you are blessed with? so you can't buy little pink dresses. dont cry when one of your sons comes home telling you he is transgender though!

The quote above from the article was exactly what I was going to post.
I wanted a girl, but my first born was a boy. I'm so thankful I allowed the professionals to tell me the sex from the sonogram. It did give me time to accept that I was having a boy. It wasn't that I didn't want a boy, but I was afraid I wouldn't know how to raise a boy. I came from a family of all girls. I just had no knowledge of boys whatsoever.
By knowing ahead of time, I didn't have to go through a shock when at risk of post partem depression. For this reason alone, I think any women who has a sex preference should definitely find out the sex as early as possible in the pregnancy. Post partem depression can make it more difficult to overcome. Knowing ahead of time avoids that problem.
And it's true---you do love them just as much. As matter of fact, I quickly realized how lucky I was to have a boy as my first born. I don't know if I could have handled a high maintenance girl without experience as a parent.
This is exactly my experience. I am so glad I knew ahead of time and didn't have that on top of everything else about being a new mother to deal with after the birth. so happens, my second and last was a boy too. I have "pangs of sadness" every once in a while when I realize I won't be picking out prom dresses or wedding dresses, or that I'll someday be the Mother In Law. But, really, it doesn't matter much. I love my boys, and I will try to be the best mother in law I can be!
That's funny. I'm so blessed to have girls. I did not want a boy and I hope my children don't have boys.
I don't think it is funny at all. I think it is sad. Sad that a parent could carry such strong feelings for such a long time, and sad for the child especially. Especially flik-becky's story! I hope if you have grandson's you can get over yourself, and I hope they never know your feelings on the subject!

You'll be a MIL no matter which gender your kids are - assuming they marry....Now granted Mother of the Groom is not as prominent as MOB but at least you won't be paying for entire weddings, only rehearsal dinners and perhaps honeymoons?....LOL
I don't get this at all. I never wanted a girl, maybe because I'm selfish and I wanted my husband all for myself. If I had a daughter, she might steal his attention! I'm mostly joking... of course... But seriously, I am so glad I have all boys. They can share rooms without any problems, they like the same kinds of games, toys, and share clothes even. It's so much easier. It's also so nice to send the boys off with dad for things like haircuts or camping weekends... and I get my alone time to relax and chill. I love that they aren't fussy about what they wear or wanting to wear makeup and I don't have to worry about tampons and all that... I grew up with a single mom, single granma's, single aunts and sisters and so forth... so I feel so happy now to have a life with boys. I had enough of the female drama when I was younger. Boys rule!
(I also love how they are growing up so strong... I am constantly putting them to work for me. I'm sure girls could do this, too, but somehow it's nice being the only girl in the house - they take good care of me! Yes, I have a spoiled streak.... )

I FEEL SO BAD FOR ANY GRANDSONS YOU HAVE! Imagine their pain if their own granparent wants nothing to do with them thanks to their gender! I grew up with a father who prefered boys and it was very painful.
