Hello,
So I am pregnant with my second, already have a 2 year old son. My mil has four sons, and two grandsons, and always wanted a daughter.
She is desperate for me to have a girl! I am very newly pregnant- only 8 weeks but mil won't stop with comments such as 'it better be a girl this time' 'only want a pink one or you can send it back'- now I know she is joking, but there is also some truthfulness in it and I am feeling sad she seems more concerned about the sex of my baby rather than the health.
I am also worried that if I do have a girl, my son will be 'forgotten' and will feel jealous and upset that the baby comes across as the favourite.
I do have a brilliant relationship with my mil but I also have no backbone so don't really say anything back other than just changing the subject!
Not sure what I want from this post, just having a rant!
