Mums with more than one boy

[Anonymous2005]

Just want to hear from other mums with 2+ boys , what are people's reactions when you tell them you have X amount of boys or planning to TTC when you already have only boys?
The other day I mentioned the possibility of twin boys and the person in front of me just looked like I was announcing someone's death.

I had a boy and a girl. When I had DC3 I had the following conversation at the school gate.

"Oh you've had the baby, what did you have?"
"A boy!"
"Oh. Never mind."

WTF?

People are obsessed with mums wanting girls for some reason aren't they. I had this beautiful baby boy and random school gate woman thought I should be disappointed that he wasn't another girl.

I just found out were having a second boy. In a way, I think it makes it easier to justify if we ever want to go for a third. No doubt people will think we're trying for a girl (as if we could choose!) 😆

I’m one of 3 girls. I remember when my younger sister was born, lots of comments to my parents about it being another girl and was my Dad disappointed about not having a boy. My parents didn’t have a 3rd child to have a boy they wanted another child. My younger sister often felt she wasn’t enough or a disappointment- not something coming from my parents.

I have 2 same, I didn’t find out what my second was as it really didn’t matter. But it did rule me out of having a 3rd as I didn’t want to hear the comments.

I think people who say this sort of stuff should actually be shamed. So sorry your boys heard this.

I know a few families with 4, 5 , 6 & even 7 boys..they were definitely hoping for a girl which is completely understandable.. most people want to experience one of each. Those people commenting are projecting their own thoughts.

I wrote a long post i cleverly deleted by accident 😬

Just basically saying my boys are great.
