One boy/ One girl obsession- true?

Disclaimer: ultimately we all want healthy children and love them no matter their sex

But
Currently pregnant with DD2 and the check out lady at Sainsbury’s today was chatting to me, asked me what I was having, whether I have a boy or girl already etc. when I said I was having another girl she tilted her head to the side, pursed her lips together and said “aww (tut) well that’s ok (shrug)”.....

Does everyone want one of each, a boy and a girl? Honestly if I could have decided I would have wanted two girls (not that I wouldn’t love a boy- see the disclaimer).
So just a random poll, if you could pick the number of children and their sex what would you pick?

I would love 3 daughters and a boy as the youngest.

I have 2 daughters, but I think we are done. If I knew I would of only had two I'd of definitely chosen 2 girls :)

I have 3 and whilst I would have been happy to have 3 same sex it's quite interesting having had 2 same sex and then 1 different to see the similarities and differences.

Also to see that some stereotypes hold true and some just depend on the child.

I know this is a old thread but can’t find any more recent on this topic. I had a DD first then 2.5 years later a DS. I’ve heard from a lot of friends and family about their gender disappointments of having 2/3/4 of the same. My sister has 4 girls and wanted a boy since the second. I kind of get it but I don’t understand disappointment of a ‘first’ when you know it’s a first baby surely you just enjoy and love that first baby especially knowing your going to (hopefully) have more. I get the disappointment some people experience when they’re adamant on only having two DCs like my SIL she wanted a girl both times and so did my BIL but after a day of finding out at each scan they were over it. BIL still says he’s love a DD but youngest son is now starting school and SIL has got her career on track and is 100% done. When I was pregnant with my second I thought how it would be quite nice to have one of each. I suppose it’s a change. However I also thought I wouldn’t be bothered either was as two of the same would be lovely as close in age and share similar interests usually. Also easier with hand me downs lol. When we found out our second was a boy we were pleased and it was nice to shop for a bit after having so much pink flowery stuff. I was just happy to have a healthy baby overall after having a MC at 14 weeks inbetween my DD and DS. I remember announcing his gender on Facebook and almost every comment was ‘oh how lucky, one of each!’ People really are obsessed! One girl wrote ‘god you must be so glad and happy you’re having a boy’ so I publicly questioned her as to why? She replied ‘it’s just the dream it’s what I want’ she had a girl at the time. I replied ‘I’m just happy he appears healthy’ my sister was pregnant with her fourth at the time and found out she was having a fourth girl. She ignored me for months! Roll on 2 years and the girl from the comments posted a scan captioned ‘so we are having another girl. Don’t want to talk about it to be honest as I’m so disappointed and sad. Not posting my gender reveal video as I look so pissed off in it’ people had a field day in the comments. Why post something like that so publicly? It was screenshot and sent around group chats apparently! She then told a friend of mine (whilst she was 16 weeks pregnant) she’d be trying in a years time for a boy. Her poor DD2 hadn’t even been born! She also lives in a one bed flat rented through the council so I don’t think it’s very responsible of her to be planning so many especially incase she has 5 girls and keeps going! I hate all of this.
I have friends that have had several rounds of IVF and friends that can’t even have that and are looking to adopt. My aunt had a stillborn. I would love a third baby once we’ve bought a new house in the next couple of years and I’m already dreading the comments ‘you’ve got one of each why would you want another’ ‘what’s the point?’ I can hear all the usual suspects now LOL.
I did laugh as I saw a comment on this thread ‘everyone expects the perfect family of mum dad daughter son and dog’ that’s my family- including the dog but I’d had been happy with either gender and I want a third so won’t be so ‘perfectly balanced then’
