3 boys....... a girl

[QuopQuop]

My friend has just found out she is having a girl after having 3 boys! I want to get her a really special pre baby present.....::: what can I get?!

I'm going to buy clothes anyway so not that

Anything else?

But her something she likes!

What difference does this child having genial henitals actually make?

What are genial henitals?

Do you mean for her or the baby? Why is this baby more special than her others?

🤷🏻‍♀️

Presumably an auto-correct mashed version of "female genitals"...

Condoms

Because it is, if she was having a boy it would be the same but she is having a girl. First girl. And I know she had longed for this girl so wanna give her something special to represent a girl and a mum.

It is different, sorry it is.

A little girl and a mum bond is different to a mum and a son.

Not saying one is 'better' than the other but it is different

I know how much she wanted a girl and I wanna celebrate that by giving her something special?

It really isn't the case for every mother/daughter or mother/son, surely you must realise that?

Clearly your friend and you think that having a girl is more special than having boys.

How about something like this:

It's sparkly, and pink.

Sounds like you're both sexist and she's doomed anyway. May as well get out the pink and start teaching her looking nice is more important than being smart? Or just get her something "special" like you would if it were her first boy.

Oh for goodness sake MN! After having 3 boys, which I would assume she absolutely adores, let her be happy in having a girl!!! She now gets to have the best of both worlds.

"She now gets to have the best of both worlds."

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. Boys and girls don't live in separate worlds. Children are all different, and it's not based on their sex it's based on their personalities.

True but girls and boys are different. Fact of life. Otherwise we would all be the same. What would be the point in having sexes?

Clearly boys and girls are physically different, most significantly after puberty. That's not what I was referring to. Not sure how that contributes to this special relationship between all girls and their mothers?

Ffs the permanently offended crew out in force I see! I was delighted when I found out I was having a girl because I had my heart set on a girl. Bought loads of pink and pretty things. And you know what I have a trans sibling who couldn't give a fuck

I despair over MN sometimes! Do people just search threads looking to get offended ??

OP - you know your friend best and want to share in her delight at having a much longed for daughter - and there is nothing wrong with that. People sometimes have a preference for one sex or the other in offspring - it's a fact!

How about a special necklace with three blue stones and one pink to represent all her babies? If you waited until they have a name you could get their initals added too - think I've seen these online on Not on the Highstreet

It's not a case of being offended. It's a case of spotting a harmful stereotype.

Any wanted baby is a source of joy, as this one will be whether girl or wrongly scanned boy.

She'll have all the baby clobber she could possibly want, and have a tide of dresses etc. How about waiting until you know the name, then getting her a charm bracelet with charms of the initials of each DC?

Pomadas.... that's a great idea!!!

All of you getting on your high horses need a reality check!

It's ridiculous!

Oh and for the record we all love her 3 boys and I have treated them all throughout their lives and continue to do so even if they are smelly boys

I am not intending to treat this baby any differently and neither will she ffs but it IS different and special having a long awaited little girl after 3 boys, it is! Bollocks to all this gender stereotype rubbish...... she wanted a girl, she would have been equally happy had it been a boy, but it's not, it's a GIRL!!!!!! Yipeeeeeeeee

Off out to buy everything I can find that's pink and had flowers on 😂

Only on MN ...

Of course OP friend wants a healthy baby more than care of gender..However lots of people do have a desire for a boy or girl.

Enjoy your shopping OP/

Wow, there's a lot of offended people about today...
Either something for the baby to wear, or a nice piece of jewellery, depends on budget and what you think she'd like?
