I am currently pregnant with my third and I have two DS.
I love my kids, I never regretted them for a moment. However I keep getting comments like:-
'Third time lucky, this one will be a girl'
'If you are really lucky it will be a girl this time'
'This one is definatly a girl....'
...etc from family, friends and everyone
I was watching a show called gender disappointment, wanting a girl and there was a mother there with 6 (?) sons and said not having a daughter is the same pain and disappointment as not have children at all.
Are girls better than boys?
Are sons less value?
Is a third son a curse whilst a daughter will be a blessing.
When I got pregnant I didn't care what I had.....but now I want a son. I have always been a rebel .....but also the fact that I actually LIKE having sons and if I had 10 sons or 3 sons, it really would not matter to me.
Will my life be less valuable less important less worthy if I didn't have a daughter?
I am looking fwd to being the mother in law that is always travelling and u see at weddings and funerals and the odd party. I really enjoy being the only woman in the house and I am shocked that people feel that a baby boy will be less wanted, less loved, less valuable than a baby girl.
