To be so bloody happy to have another BOY on the way

[blueberry23]

Lighthearted thread

But I see so many threads with gender disappointment towards having a boy

My reasons for being over the moon for DS#2 in my tummy....,,

I will remain queen of my house (bar the dogs!)
Boys adore their mummies
Less emotions to manage
Less pink and glitter hopefully 🤣
Brothers
Dirty knees and climbing trees and rough and tumble

I'm just here for it all

What are your reasons if you love being a boy mum like me?

Congratulations!
I always think it's a bit depressing when people don't want more of what they have -- ie parent to DS and yet can't bear the idea of another DS. Or vice versa. It's lovely that you're excited about another boy.

Also (two boys) I do think that same-sex siblings tend to have a better relationship and enjoy each other more. Not universally true, of course, but a trend. And schools are easier because you don't have to worry about single-sex schooling and the complexity of two institutions.

Just hope you don’t have a boy like mine who loves pink and glitter 😂😂
I think what the op is getting at is when you find out you’re having another boy people start to feel sorry for you like it’s a bad thing. I won’t lie I was a little disheartened but I wouldn’t change him for the world and he loves to be a girl on some days so I get the best of both world
congratulations x

I have a middle aged ds and dd. I didn't want a girl because of all the terrible things men do to little girls.

Well that made me not want a boy - having a son that does that is my nightmare. So far mine is lovely though.

The less emotions to manage nonsense has made me really laugh. The entire world is built around controlling mens emotions, prisons are filled with men who couldn't control their emotions, women children and other men are raped, assaulted and murdered because men can't control their emotions, but women are too emotional blah blah blah is always the first thing sexists idiots bring up when talking about how awful girls and women are. So congrats on the pregnancy, but deal with your misogyny before you past it down to your sons.

I see where OP is coming from, although I don’t agree with the stereotyping - I have 2 DSs and believe me, they have very big emotions!
what I’ve personally experienced, and always challenge, is the negativity around having boys. After having DS2 I had a lot of comments about it being a shame I have another boy, are we going to try for another and hope for a girl type stuff. It’s shit. My boys are wonderful, unique individuals and I’m a million miles from being disappointed with them.
As for anyone spouting that godawful rhyme to me (about girls being for life, and boys until they find a wife) they’ll sharp find out exactly how disappointed I am in them for perpetuating such claptrap.
