AIBU to be pissed off at this. Two boy children absolutely love them and love being a boy mum.

Recently toyed with the idea of a third, but a friend told me that I can't carry girls I can only birth boys.

This really pissed me off and I don't know why.

I would love a girl, but I also would love a boy. It just the way she said it asif there was something wrong with 1. Me or 2. Having boy children.

Well your 'friend' (and I would use that term very loosely) sounds like a total idiot.
I would try not to let a comment like that piss you off and just laugh at the stupidity of it instead.

Ah yes, the uterus famously determines the sex of babies and your body after having 2 children must only make boys!

Your friend is a bit dim.

How on earth would she know that?

Nothing wrong with having only boys anyway but she's talking nonsense.

I'd be pissed off that it's unevidenced garbage. Two boys is no evidence at all. 1 in 4 two child families will be 2 boys.

Huh? How does she have thus inside info about your body?

Can you expand a bit more?

Why did she say it?

What qualifies her to say it?

Why are you listening to her and getting pissed off?
