People say the silliest thing without thinking, as long as you are happy that's the main thing!

My OH's mum says all-sorts, you'd think the baby was for her! I just try and ignore most things!

Congrats on the blue bump!

I have been getting this too all Ive heard is "oh well are you gonna try again for a girl?" nobody seems to be happy when I tell them Im having a second boy! it really pisses me off because everyone knows we had been TTC for over 3 yrs we werent just trying for a girl! Ive literally only had two people that were very happy without making a comment about a girl and that is my Brother, he is the best! and my friend who is raising two boys who are older she was so excited telling me how great two boys were together! the sad part is all the comments come from my family and closest friends! WTF?? I cried the whole day of finding out our baby was a boy not from disappointment on my end but from hurtful comments and the fact nobody was happy for me! even my mom said are you sure they arent wrong?? cause I cant tell from the pics?? uh its there and its not going away!! sorry to rant! just letting you know I know how you feel about this but I just decided to be happy and not listen to anyone about it Ive waited so long for this little boy and Im not going to let people bring me down about it.

there's no pleasing some people......but you are right though....they are your children, and as long as they are happy and healthy then that is the main thing.....

CONGRATS sweetheart, if this little chappy has you behind him he needn't worry!

People are incredibly thoughtless, why on earth they would think you would be disappointed I don't know! You're having a baby, the joy doesn't diminish the moment the 50:50 decision is published!

If anyone else says anything tell them to sod off. If that's not like you, then say something nicer but mean sod off.

And CONGRATULATIONS!

Ohhh poor you people are so RUDE!!!! Congrats on having another little man! I just dont get why other people are so fixated on 'having to have one of each' or whatever. Their problem not yours, and your lovely little fella not theirs!!!! Tell them to bugger off!
Also he will have a great time playing with Kian and nicking all his toys!

My MIL keeps saying she really wants a girl as she already has two grandsons - she has already openly expressed disappointment if it turns out to be a boy, however she can sod off and SIL would be delighted as she would be able to offload all the boys clothes and toys!

what crappy things to be said to you! When i read some of the things on this site it makes me wonder who these people are that come up with these heartless comments.

Who cares what anyone else thinks, as crap as it makes you feel, as long as you are happy with a baby boy then who cares. you should say to them, what does it matter boy or girl as long as its healthy, people forget that babies male or female are all we miracles until the day they are born safely into this world xx

Aww hun congratulations on your little boy

People will always make hurtfull comments, just ignore them x

Aww darlin! Congrats on your baby boy!! Thats brilliant news and I bet your little son is pleased as hell to be getting a brother! Some people are so bloody rude, why do they feel the need to have such an opinion on something thats nothing to do with them!!!!! They should be pleased for you for goodness sake. Not act like that. I am kind of going throught he same thing.. we like the name Junior for a boy, its the ONLY boys name we like! We have told a few people and the ones that hav'nt liked it have had such a rude, nasty opinion about it saying 'they wont pretend to like it' and 'thats not a name!!!' and 'what the hell you want to call him that for' things like that! I get so cross it that it makes me doubt it myself! I dont mind people having an opinion but they could at least not do it to my face!!! sorry for the long message but I totally know what you are going through, just rude obnoxious people. Rar rant over!!! xx

Another case of idiot people opening their mouths when they really really shouldn't!! Of course you aren't disappointed that it is another boy!! That is a stupid thing for them to say!! Idiots. The comments that we are supposed to take while pregnant really really upset and annoy me, if it isn't that you are Massive or too small, or comments on what you are eating, giving off coz you are having the first can of coke in 3 weeks etc etc etc it is dumbass comments about being disappointed in the gender!! Sometimes you feel like saying something bitchy back and saying "oh you dont like it when the tables are turned do you??" - sorry rant over.

A close friend of mine has 2 boys, they are 4 years apart and the older boy really helped with his little bro, looks after him and plays with him all the time (within reason obviously as he is 11 and it isn't cool to be around a 7yo too much), teaches him to play football better and they are really close. They have a lovely relationship.

People are just idiots!!!
