I am pregnant and we have been told baby is a boy. Since sharing this with close friends and family, we have had the strangest comments/reactions. Basically alluding that it's not as good as having a girl, that they can't imagine us having a boy, what are we going to do with a boy?!... it goes on and on

I can rationalise this as their projections for what ever reason but it has left me feeling sad and a bit disconnected to the pregnancy. I will add that I'm truly grateful for this baby regardless of their sex, so Icannot understand why these comments are making me feel this way.

Anyone else experience something similar?

If you were having a girl you'd get all sorts of nonsense about that too! I have no idea why people think it's ok to say stuff like this. Ignore. Congratulations on your boy! I'm having a boy too and I'm sure we'll both have awesome sons 😁
