AIBU to think that Mumsnet is fanning the flames of this "daughter" obsession?

[gramercy]

More and more threads about "gender disappointment"

I think that MN is working some people into a frenzy. Endless threads about hideous mils can't help but make people nervous that their sons are going to end up with wives just like these posters.

I know some mils are awful, but most of the time it's just that we don't really want the in-laws in the equation. They're superfluous.

Before MN I was quite happy with ds - but now it's like I'm on borrowed time.

I always was rather repelled by people whining that they don't have a dd, and then one thread down you read about someone trying to avoid seeing their in-laws at Christmas and the anxiety levels start to rise.

There do seem to be a lot of these threads but can't say I'd ever made the connection with MIL's....

maryz - I wonder if that might be to do with the gender profile of mumsnet ;)

woops!
