2 girls, are you trying for a boy next?

[DontFundHate]

We have one girl and another on the way and already people are asking if we're disappointed our 2nd isn't a boy, and if we'll try for a boy next. This is partly due to our culture, where traditionally boys are preferred.

This really hurts for lots of reasons - we are thrilled to be having two girls, I always wanted a sister. We have had fertility problems so two children is a real blessing, pregnancy is very high risk for me and I've been advised to stop at 2 children - this is something I'm still coming to terms with.

So, what do I say to everyone asking if we're disappointed baby's not a boy or are we going to try again? So far I've been brushing it off with a laugh, "no more children, we're getting a dog next!" But actually a big part of me wants to tell them off for asking, it's so rude.

Posting in aibu in the hope of a good one liner!

I get this all the time . I have 3 little boys and I’m always getting asked if I’m going to try for a girl.

I have 2 girls and did get a few silly comments when i was pg with DD2
Best one from an older lady who said boys were more loving...she knew this because she only had boys
I asked her how she knew that as she only had boys?
She became abit huffy

I dont get what the issue is with some
people
Its not like it affects them in anyway

Have 2 DDs and whenever I say I’m done with 2 kids some family member says “don’t think your husband will want to stop without a boy.” My reply is “OK are you volunteering to financially sponsor a third? No? Alright then.”
