to feel sad about people's perception of having sons.

[wanderingcloud]

A random conversation in the staffroom at work, general chit chat about children. The mother of two daughters who go to the same nursery as my sons said "I'm sure your boys are lovely but I'm SO glad I have girls! Boys are just horrid!" then other mum's of girls started chiming in with comments about how generally noisy/smelly/disgusting/horrible boys are and what a nightmare they must be. I laughed it off, my boys can be a handful. What under 3yr old isn't occasionally noisy and dirty? However, watching my two sons sitting quietly looking at books together this morning, I'm filled with sadness that people actually perceive them in such a negative way.

You just sound a bit thick to be honest.

I've worked with a few men so can inform you how 50% of the population think? Really?

I've worked with a lot of men too you know. I wouldn't presume to make such bonkers assumptions.

I have 2 DDs and I think this is an utterly horrible way to think. I love all my friends' children equally irrespective of gender.

You have not given one sensible example of your stupid opinion.

I have met some SMOGs in my life but i think you win the crown.

Hope your dh is aware of what a low opinion you have of him.

The need to spread the seed kicks in and it doesn't really go away does it ..

I work in a female dominated environment and based on this I can tell you all women are fucking bitches who talk about everyone behind their backs, revel in other women's weight gain, would shit on their best mate to get a man and are deeply shallow and obsessed with their appearance.

Oh no, hold on, that would be complete bollocks wouldn't it?

What. The. Fuck. Are. You. Talking. About?

I assume your dh has had countless affairs and you're very bitter about it?

I want to be annoyed but all I can feel is pity.

When I look at the world I see what wonderful things men have created and listen to the beautiful songs they have written. Maybe they were women in disguise cos clearly they would be too busy wanking in the corner to do all that stuff.

Harold, based on slip's sense of logic as she's thick as two short planks we can extrapolate that all women are thick as two short planks also - it's how it works apparently?

knitting I am guessing you are spot on or I am about the prostitution and lapdancing....

No affairs here. No bitterness here. But I know its a possibility. Sounds like some of you could be in for a nasty shock.

What news are you watching? The news which covers various presidents risking their whole career for a cheap thrill? I could go on like that for hours.

so, no women have affairs and walk out on their families then?

Funny thing is your arguing against me more than most men would. They would probably agree with me .. at least to a certain degree.

Box of frogs.

I have grown up sons and they are kind, sensitive, loving and hard working.
I also have a teenage daughter and she is also kind, sensitive, loving and hard working.
I find it very sad that people on here are so quick to stereotype.

slipslip I dislike my mother. We have never had a bond.

DH loves his mother. They have a bond.

Because some very powerful men risk everything to have an affair you assume that's what all men are like?

One of my friends is just about to walk out on her husband and three kids because of an affair - what am I supposed to assume from that?

What's the point of living your life thinking it's a possibility that your dh could have an affair? And what difference does it make to me as a mother? This is where your lack of sons show so plainly - my relationship with my sons isn't sexual you daft bitch. I will raise my sons to respect women - and I will raise them to avoid women like you and your daughters like the plague.

I was just watching a piece on the Commonwealth Games of a lovely male doctor working in a very poor part of the world caring for desperately sick people for very little reward. Is he driven by his cock to do that?

Your argument is so ridiculous and your smugness so overwhelming it beggars belief.

You still haven't answered the question - you're hoping your poor daughters will be lesbians?

"I have grown up sons and they are kind, sensitive, loving and hard working"

I don't doubt that they are all them things.

But they are also controlled by their cocks in a way most women aren't controlled by sex.

lesbians all the way - i think if I had daughters I'd be warning them off too....

At least you've downgraded it to most men I suppose. Most if the men I know would find that pretty offensive to be honest.

Where did you work? Sounds like you were all very immature there.

My dh wouldn't agree with you slip - he'd tear you a new one for daring to speak about our boys like that. He's fiercely proud of them, as am I.
