To be honest, I think it is in your mind. YOU feel bad about having two boys, your unhappiness shines through, you are not coping, and THIS is what strangers in the street is reacting to, not the fact that you have two boys.
I bet you would get different comments if you seemed happier about your lot. People are taking their cues from you when making conversation.
I have two boys, have never experienced any of the attitudes you mention.
If you tell people there are only ugly clothes for boys, they will most likely agree because it is a stupid thing to disagree with somebody about. If you are talking about how shit it is to have two boys, and that you really wanted girls, it is the same thing, people will most likely agree with you because they dont want to start an argument.
You seem very down though.
And I think in your case, voicing how down you are about having two boys is not helping, you just get people to agree with you and this will bring you even further down.
My boys are 10 and 7 now. Yes, it was hard work when they were little, but I think any young children are hard work.
Ds2 had his birthday party yesterday, and we were having a shared party with a boy in his class. This boys little sister 3, was much harder work and much more unruly, weepy and tantrummy than my two has ever been.
The girl guests were as unruly as the boys, and who started the food fight? A girl. Children are children, it is as much personality and temperament as gender.
The only problem is how you look upon it.
Why do you find it so hard to cope? Are you getting enough help and support? How young are your children? It is so sad that you look upon two lovely little boys as your "booby price".
