So I found out this morning that I am having another little boy. I already have a 17 month old DS who is gorgeous, funny, clever and generally awesome in my PFB opinion

Since this morning I have already had two people comment to say how "disappointed" I must be and how it's a "such a shame" because he's not a girl.

I didn't and still don't give a big hairy gonad what sex child I was having and am absolutely thrilled to be having another lovely boy.

I am still very pleased but have been honestly taken back by both of these people (one a neighbour and one a friend) and how negative they are.

My response so far was to smile and say something along the lines of why would I be disappointed, I make fantastic boys!

Dont know why I've posted really as I know it's been done to death but I just felt it really made me feel crappy when I previously felt great and wanted to rant!

salem

Because over the past few years I have only posted very occasionally on here

I didn't know or remember I had already posted on this thread and I thought it was a new one

Sorry if that bothers you

I also got comments about having another boy but there the best of friends now and I wouldnt have it any other way its plain rude

SalemSaberhagen · 28/12/2016 14:14

Why would you think it was a new one? It hadn't been posted on for 18 months. With the last poster being you.

YAB massively U! You are supposed to want one of each! Didn't you realise that? I'm about your have a second girl, we won't try for another. Apparently, everyone should pity my poor dh because he's been cheated out of having a son. Hmm

zukiecat · 28/12/2016 14:21

I already said I didn't realise that!!

I did not notice the date or remember the thread or poster's name!!

Why is it a problem?

ellesbellesxxx · 28/12/2016 14:28

People can be so rude! We are expecting twins after years of infertility and IVF. Already someone has commented they hope at least one is a girl as girls are so special.. er we don't actually care what combo they are? We are so happy to be at this stage!
