My ex was so disappointed when my sonogram showed I WAS having a boy that we stormed out of the hopsital 20 feet ahead of me and wouldn't speak to me for hours, which was awkward because we worked together. Of course he softened when our wonderful son was born, and now that he's 24 they have gotten along great and traveled the world together.
I just think it's absolutely terrible to not treasure any child of either gender, and it's especially inane to take it out on a pregnant woman, especially when it's the man's X or Y chromosome that determines the baby's sex. I can understand having a preference, but can you imagine how my son would feel if I told him his father had acted that way when we were told he was a boy?
Exact same situation occurred. Only it was because we found out it was a girl. Funny, because now he can't imagine having a boy. I also can't magine having a boy. As a father though, you have a girl and she becomes daddy's little girl. Moms always seem closer to their sons and dads with daughters.
But considering the person who asked this is a junior in high school I don't know why he is even thinking about this. Seems to be trolling. Also how his sister is annoying so he punches her in the face and gets angry because she told their parents? My brother causes more drama than me and "verbally abuses" me bc siblings fight. We never punched each other.
No I have never hit any woman I've been involved with. My sister has also attacked me in the past. I have a scar on my arm from one fight. I don't hit unless I'm hit first. Isn't it normal for siblings to fight though?
Not in my family. I have two brothers. I never hit them, they never hit me, they never hit each other to my knowledge. We were are able to disagree without even yelling, let alone violence, even when we were teenagers. Manners ... what a concept.

An entire country (China) would say No. At least a majority of the parents want boys. They have a huge gender gap because of it.
Only in the countryside really... in the cities there is less of an imbalance. I'm a teacher here and all my coworkers are women, plus about 65% of my students are little girls. I'm in a metro station now and there are three families near me with toddler daughters... only one with a boy.
I don't think it's wrong. I feel the same way, though my wife says she definitely wants at least one girl to share some mother daughter stuff with.
But from what I've seen and experienced, teenage girls are awful. My younger sister once she hit her teens pretty much drove both my parents crazy, and I mean that literally. Drugs, boys, getting arrested, just mean catty stuff with other girls, flunking out of school, the list went on and on. She didn't really calm down and get things together to she was about 20 or 21 either... My parents divorced, both are on tons of meds for anxiety/panic attacks, and I saw first hand how terrible teenage girls can be... The big kicker is that my parents are great parents, and we have a wonderful close knit family, so what my sister did could happen to anyone honestly. Girls are truly volatile for reasons no one knows, but not to say all girls turn into the volatile teen girl we dread.
Meanwhile all us teenage boys are just playing video games and looking at porn. :P So much easier to raise in my opinion!
Do the world a favor and become an anonymous sperm donor to ensure your bloodline continues. Your attitude is not one fit for partnership, let alone parenthood.
You think teenage girls are dramatic and volatile, but getting riled up and punching someone is totally keeping your cool.
I smell troll.
Exactly.
This guy sounds like he's still a teenager himself.
OP, you shouldn't be having children, period.
Nobody's bloodline is worthy of procreating unless you are a millionaire or your children are guaranteed to be a genius or a prodigy.
Yeah this was a debate me and my friends had at lunch. I thought about it more afterwards. Half my friends said they were going to have slutty daughters as punishment for their attitudes towards sex.
