Sound awful feel awful but I'm absolutely gutted it's a girl . I think though this is stemming from my first born kc who has caused me so much hell it actually put me on a mental health ward more than twice. I have another daughter entirely different to her older sister. But she's only 6 kc is 18 and still very abusive towards me I also have 2 boys and there absolutely golden. I really wanted another boy. I know it sounds terrible but I didn't want a girl at all. I'm a tomboy at heart rideotorbikes shoot guns and my boys and younger daughter are the same . I brought kc up all on my own. I was often hit as a child but the others wasn't I swore never to smack my children and find another way to discipline but I won't lie I felt like smacking kc bk side but never did. She did nothing but scream hit me punch me bite me want want want at one point I even considered putting her up for adoption I'd sit hug kiss her over and over tell her I love her she's always hated me for reasons I can't understand. Then she hit her teens die drugs got drunk but oddly was an over achiever, an extremely intelligent in school so much so they put her down as a talented and gifted child . Now I don't know what todo about this baby I'm ten weeks .

I think gender disappointment is quite common, however if your disappointment is because you feel a boy will be easier I really don't think gender makes a difference in behaviour. I have a daughter and she is so easy, also have a son and he is a handful. Also what does KC stand for?

Your older daughter's behaviour is not caused by her gender, which is evidenced by the fact that you have another lovely daughter.

For once its not a boy 😂 most people who complain about gender disappointment are sad it's a boy.
