To not give him a son

[headlingfortrouble]

Name changed for this.
I have 2 beautiful daughters with my husband and he would desperately like to have a son.

I know he really wanted a boy last time and was disappointed when we had another girl although to be honest although I didn't mind as long as we had a healthy child I was glad we had 2 girls close in age as they are great together.

Anyway dh keeps saying he wants a son and we should try one more time but I know he only wants a son and although he says he will love another girl regardless I have said NO based on him only wanting another child because it's one more shot at it being a boy.
He says I'm being unfair and denying him the chance of a son if I don't agree to trying one more time who is being unreasonable here?

I was the whoopsy kid. My mother and my three sisters were heller pleased that I was a female, rather than the one true male.

Years later, I told Dad he should've been too, because he'd not have known what the hell to do with a son. He looked very taken aback, laughed, and then agreed, with a moment of rare personal insight.

This thread has made me wonder about the fact my Nana was baby Number five after four boys. I have two boys and a girl and would have been happy with three boys. I think it is societal that dictates we are all supposed to one one of each.

A good thing in your case because if they hadn’t continued till your Nana, you wouldn’t be here.
