To love having a girl?

[NutellaPancakes123]

I’ve never said this to anyone as I worry how it would come across.

I have a boy who is 9 and a girl who is 4. When I had my boy I was overjoyed, I actually wanted a boy and I used to tell myself I’d be happy if I had another boy. But I’ve always been a girls girl myself growing up, very pink, Barbie, make up etc.

i love them both completely equally. As little humans they both are amazing to me my boy is clever, loving and I adore him. But I just LOVE having a girl. I sometimes think my god, I’ve actually got a girl. I still almost pinch myself that I can wander the girls aisles and I can buy things with unicorns on and I can have a Barbie house in my home! I just love having this little girl and saying “girls day!” after the boys have been able to say boys day before she was born. I feel no one else seems to say this though. I don’t know I just feel so lucky I get to experience having a girl.

is this odd?

I have a 10 year old boy and a 6 year old girl and no I cannot recognise any of this. DD super close to DH and DS super close to me

This one appears true in a lot of cases … and where it isn’t the wife usually pops up in here moaning!

Of course … they are 10 and 6, things change.

DT’s b/g are in their late 20’s - still best of pals although very different personalities.

The men in my family are all still close to their own family/ parents. One brother in law is not particularly but then he has a very complicated and difficult family to be fair. My husband, brother, grown up nephews (married/ partnered and with own kids) - all of them. As was my ex and his brother with their parents.

I’ve never found the ‘until he finds a wife’ thing to be particularly true honestly.

I've got 2 girls and 2 boys. Both my girls don't fit into their gender stereotypes. One did till she was about 8 then her interests gradually changed. The other one has never been into the pink fluffy unicorn style. You embrace each child for who they are as individuals not what sex they are because it's very generalised.
