Does anyone else just love having two boys?

[Gateau]

I had DS2 four weeks ago. I didn't find out whether I was having a boy or girl but was pretty sure I was having another boy. I'm just so happy to have them both and DS1 (2.7) has been such a star with his little brother.
I know I'll probably get the 'are you going to try again for a little girl?' comments but I really don't think we will go for a third. I feel very blessed and don't have that yearning for a girl that lots of women have. Let's say I feel 'complete'.
I'm not taking away from anyone who has girls but I'm just so happy with my two little fellas. They're just so damn cute and I can't wait for a future filled with mess, madness and fun!!
Anyone else feel the same? Just thought I'd share my happiness!!

this thread is so reassuring.

am 22 weeks pregnant with dc2, who is our second ds, we found out last week. i do have a yearning for a daughter, but so chuffed to have two little boys and reading others experiences with the same set up makes me so excited!

if my ds2 is half as fun-loving and affectionate as ds1, i'll be the happiest mum ever

Yes, I adore it! My two boys are 3 years apart in age and now 9 & 12. They are the lights of my life, very different characters but love each other to bits.
It is brilliant!

my two little lads (6 and 2) are fantastic.

There isn't much fighting, just a lot of wrestling!

When pregnant with ds2, I wanted another boy. I suppose I just wanted another ds1 really

I've got 3 and they are all lovely. Was only thinking today as I tripped over negotiated my way through all the wellies, football and rugby boots on the back door step how cleaner different my life would be if they were girls.

Ah yes typical DD is on the verge of OCD unlike DS!

I am very happy with my 2 boys - (1 and 5.5)

Mine are fabulous 95% of the time. 5 and nearly 3. I woudn't have minded girls, but (not being very girly) secretly wanted boys. Wouldn't change it.

I have had a very occasional, would you have wanted a girl comment...and now they have stopped. If we went for no 3 (won't happen - DH would divorce me) I'd love another boy and I would call him Xavier (see the other thread!)

Absolute love having 2 boys!!! When I was pregant, with DS2, a part of me thought that having one of each would be lovely, but I really wasn't too bothered.

I have no yearnings to try for a girl - occassional yearnings for a 3rd (boy, girl, whatever!) but that's another matter . . .!!

Yes! Mine are nearly 10 and 7

• Are SUCH good mates (most of the time)
• Really look out for watch other (are at same school)
• Get on with each other's friends
• Share toys
• Do 'stuff' together
• Are 'physically' close - like I will find them snuggled up together under a duvet watching a movie

Neither DH or I had a same-sex sibling, so it's lovely to observe...

A friend's daughter has just gone to Uni, and we were talking about it, and DS2 (7) pipes up:
"When DS1 goes to Uni I will be so lonely. Will I be able to come and stay, DS1?"

Bless.....

(But at what they might get up to together!)

I have two boys - I LOVE having 2 boys! I am now pregnant with no.3 and people presume I am wanting a girl now but I honestly do not care, obviously it would be nice to have a girl but boys are so great!

I think having two or more of the same sex is great - I grew up with just a sister and we are so close, in fact I worry (probably being stupid) that if I was to have another DC and it was a girl then DS would be deprived somehow by not having a brother!

My cousins, although 3 and 5 so a bit of an age cap from me age 31!, are such amazing company. I had DS and then DD and actually feel sorry for DS that he won't have a brother as how nice for a boy to have a mate to rough and tumble with and share common interests and I do think same sex get along better with eachother.
I would not be without a boy. I can't think of anything worse than having all girls!! I think they are too precious etc etc and they need a boy around!

I love it, mine are 9 and 6 and (mostly) the best of friends.

They make me laugh every day, of course they also make me feel like tearing my hair out on a fairly regular basis, but I'm quite sure the same would have happened should they have been girls!

There's 18 months between my 2 boys and they're just fantastic!
They're 8 and 10 now and are so much fun (most of the time) We laugh a lot

I have one DS and want another, I hope DESPERATELY for another boy. I really wouldn't want a daughter, I have a terrible relationship with my Mother, who hates her Mother so I don't want to have that with my daughter.

4 boys would be my ideal.

I love having two boys! Mine are 14 months apart (just 4 and nearly 3) and are such good pals. I dread to think how ds2 will be once ds1 starts school.

Rest assured, your 'future filled with mess, madness and fun' will be here before you know it .

My only reservation (which I hadn't even considered until someone on MN pointed it out to me) is that in future one is highly likely to become the MIL. When I see some of the stuff that women on here write about their MILs, it does make my blood run cold a bit. Though of course no woman will ever be good enough for my wee guys, so perhaps it'll never happen

Oh, and congratulations on your new arrival!

Lovely to hear positive stories. I found out recently that we are expecting our second little boy next spring. I have to admit that part of me wanted to have a girl as I loved being a girl, if that makes any sense! I am delighted to be having a second boy though as the first one has been such fun! I think three children would be great but I really don't have the energy or the finances to consider going for a third.

they're a bit messy but ok i suppose

Oh and I'm dreading the comments about trying for a girl. I've lost count of the amount of people who have asked me if I am hoping for a girl.

One mother who has just one girl said "I really hope you have a girl as they are so much nicer than boys"

i have 2 boys who are 21.5 and 17. I absolutely adore them. They are my life especially as i am a single mum.

But if i was honest,when DS1 came along after pre eclampsia,i was just delighted that my 4lb baby survived.
When i got pregnant again i really really wanted a girl as boys really werent on my 'ask' list. I have to say,the second DS2 was born ,inside i was really disappointed. I was upset for my mum who really wanted a granddaughter too.
DS2 was a beautiful baby and is a hunk now.
I tried many many times to get pregnant again but it never happened. Now i am too old

I wouldnt change anything now ,as i love them sooo much. They are so close and are the best boys i could ever wish for. They are best of friends despite the 4.5years.

Even so that yearning for a little girl has never gone away. Cant wait for my boys to have their own.

One of each would have been perfect..but i am just grateful they are both healthy,clever and ambitious.

When I first got pregnant I wanted a girl, but mainly for all the gorgeous outfits [shallow emoticon], I now have two DSs who are just the most gorgeous, funny little boys and who are best of mates. My sister also had two boys and when all four of them get together it's a riot.

I could live with a few less cars about the house, mind you.

Oh dear. I must be the bad mother here. I cried when I found out that DC2 was also a boy, even it came as no surprise - my pregnancy felt exactly the same as with number 1. I love my two beaustiful boys absolutely and unconditionally and wouldn't want to change them for the world. But, I know I won't have another child and I do still occasionally "grieve" for a girl, if that's not too strong an expression. I feel terribly guilty about this and, oh dear, now I feel even more guilty - I shouldn't have read this thread.

i feel the same as you sammummy...i cried too ,real tears of disappointment. I feel guilty about feeling sad at the time but when i feel the love for my boys everything changes. I dont think the yearning for a little girl will ever go,even til i get in that wooden box. There is something different about the dynamics with a daughter that men get with sons.
We all have a fantastic relationship which just seems to get better.
