If one more person says you can try again, I'm going to punch them in the face!

Had our 20 week scan today, and found out we are having a boy, to join 3 year old DS.
The amount of people that haven't congratulated me, but instead have said "Oh it's ok, you can try again for a girl"
The rage!!!!
Actually, I am perfectly happy with my 2 boys and am so excited for them to have a lovely brotherly bond. So there!
Phew, that feels better!

We are expecting a daughter after two son's. I am looking forward to having a daughter, but if we had another son, I would have been looking forward to having another son and loved them both the same. I have met women who have wanted a particular sex, I also have met women who are happy with their two boys/two girls etc. As long as the baby is healthy, that is the most important thing.

Try having 3 or 4 boys. Women practically weep for you. If you have 5 I think you get a benefit gig?
On the other hand elderly chinese men pretty much worship you.

People are fucking weird.

People always have something to say regardless of what sex the baby is. We are expecting a ds and already have a dd. We got so many comments about how brilliant that is for DH and how they bet he is delighted. Yes he is, because the baby is healthy. I hate the assumption that he would have been less excited for another dd. It feels offensive to our dd. Dh wasn't bothered either way but sadly I do know people who would have been.

I've heard that it's really hard to get a conviction in court against a pregnant woman. Just sayin'...

I am pregnant with DD5 and have one DS. I get endless comments - "not another DD, your poor DH & DS, bet you wished for a boy, will you keep going until you get another boy etc..."

It sounds cheesy to say but as long as babies are well I have no preference, just delighted to have a new addition to the family - can't believe the rudeness of some people.

It is so rude! But I think you're damned if you do or don't when it comes to people feeling entitled to share their opinions with you...

We found out the gender but decided not to tell anyone till he/she is born. I can't even remember how we decided this -- it was probably a whim, or a suggestion from a friend. Anyway with some of our friends and relatives it quickly turned into a huge deal. I thought maybe they were joking about being annoyed we wouldn't tell them, but we soon realized a couple of them are actually furious with us for not sharing the gender .

miss we got around that by not telling people we'd found out the sex, so they didn't know we knew!

miss we have done the same, it's our third and we have 2 DS, people are being so rude about us wanting a girl and obviously we were trying for a girl etc, which is so annoying, love our boys so much they are so much fun, we don't mind what we have at all, but found out to make life easier for us so we could plan etc. People look really put out when we tell them we know but we're keeping it as a surprise for everyone else. I have now taken to telling everyone we don't know!! So much easier!
