DD3 my thoughts on having 3 the same

I'm having a think tonight as its a few days from DD3s 5th birthday.

Inbetween DD2 & DD3 I had a horrible mc, then just before Christmas thought I was losing DD3, I actually felt her first flutters on Christmas Eve telling me she was alive Grin

Anyway I have 2 other DDs so started to get all the hoping for a boy comments, you'll be wanting a boy, DH will be wanting a son etc etc

We had a scan at 22 weeks private and got told it was perfectly healthy DD. but everyone else's attitude was awful, I had people say " oh you'll be praying for a boy" to which I would reply "we know its a girl" and get "oh that's a shame" family were the worst, my Mum who I already had a strained relationship with acted like she couldn't give a toss, she knew I had gone for a scan and never called for weeks after it as she knew it was another girl Hmm it was as if her being a girl was a disappointment to everyone.

At no time did DH or I ever wish she was a he, she was born and was the most beautiful angel baby there is so much so that DH said when she was 3 months that we had to have another.

She is the most amazing little thing, everyone falls in total love with her who meets her, they would be scared not to, she's a fantastic little person but still we had the comments.

We had a fourth and did get a DS (total shock) we thought it was DD4 had her names chosen already. Of course we all adore him but no more than any of the DDs, we still get the comments of stopping now we have a boy, that's lucky you finally got your boy often in front of the DDs Hmm

I'm so lucky to have each one of my fabulous children I couldn't care what's between their legs, I just get so annoyed with the comments about DD3 especially Hmm

Its lovely to adore lovely 5 year old daughter isn't it? :)

Congrats on your brood. How yucky that people still have this attitude about gender as if they are different flavours of sweets and that you might get bored of the one flavour.

I have to admit, I always imagined my self with loooaods of boys, prob cos my neighbours had 4 boys I babysat and am god mother too etc.... But The World has given us one girl. And my how we adore every inch of her :)

We get the 'when are you have another one'... 'you can;t just have one'.. and my personal peeve '[to DD] you want a baby brother or sister don;t you".

er...... How rude.

We will not be having any more and I am just about at excepting that. I don;t need thoughtless people poking their nose in!

SUCH a shame that people have this vision of a boy and a girl with two parents in a middle class house... and that anything else is questioned...
