My friend is desperate for a girl!! Rant!!

[liliboard]

Hey!
I just need to rant!!
So I had my little boy 2 years ago and he's an absolute joy! When I was pregnant my friend who had no children at the time, would drop little comments when I was pregnant about how it was a boy and do I think I don't feel much bonding with him because it's a boy. (I went through some pre and post natal desperation, only mild)
Now obviously for me, my boy is my world and I wouldn't ever change him!
Now my friend started trying for a baby a few months ago (first) and got pregnant right away. Years leading up to this pregnancy she's have conversations about how if she had 2 boys she'd try for a girl but if she had 2 girls she'd stop. So basically boys are obviously vile. Which hits me hard and makes me angry!
She not finding out what she's having as I heard from another friend incase it wasn't a girl. So she wouldn't have the long disappointment.
This girl is so not maternal and not naturally great with kids and even the thought of her being a mum makes me laugh as she doesn't seem to understand how hard babies are. So the fact she's so so keen to have a girl makes me so mad! Like, what's wrong with having a boy?! Any child is a blessing! She says she now doesn't mind what she has but I know she does.

Ugh.

Sorry for long post! But I'm so annoyed!!

Incidentally, I have 2 girls and never wanted a boy either. I love girlie things like clothes and jewellery, and can spend hours playing with dolls and girls toys. Boys toys don't interest me in the slightest, and I couldn't imagine myself as a football/rugby/sports mum.

Metalmum* you are making some wrong and ridiculous assumptions about Boys there. I have a girl and a boy and neither fit into these sweeping generalisations you make here.

tinypop I'm fully aware not all children are the same. Both my girls love clothes and dolls, however, eldest can also be a real tomboy at times and youngest spent years playing with cars and garages. I'm also well aware plenty of boys are not into sports and plenty of girls are. However, when I look at my friends / relatives and a lot of the things they do with their sons, I know I really wouldn't want to be doing it. Basically, I preferred to have a girl and I got 2, bonus.

We didn't know what we were having until my daughter was born and I'll admit to be a little relieved as the only experience I'd ever had with babies had been with girls.
With my second we found out we were having a boy at my scan and it took me a couple of days to get used to the idea. I wasn't disappointed or anything, just felt like I was completely unprepared for looking after a boy. That feeling went quickly and I fell in love with him the moment I set eyes on him (he can be a right pain in the bum now, mind).
