People are making me feel like ive let them down having another boy :'(


Today i took kian to nursery, and on the way i bumped into a few of the moms who knew i was having the gender scan yesterday so they asked what im having, i told them with a big grin on my face while rubbing my tummy..im having a boy and the replies kinda hurt me ... "aww never mind u can try again..and " oh dear are u happy about that??? im like WTF???
He's my flesh and blood i dont care if hes got a willy!!! Ok so yeh a part of me... wanted a girl because then my family would be complete, but im blessed i can have children and i love him so so much, when the woman who did the scan said it looked like his legs hadnt grown then asked if ive been tested for down syndrome, my heart sank, and from then on i didnt care what the gender was i just wanted my baby to be healthy!!!

Another one....we told MIL that when she goes to turkey next week she can buy him a little top or something.. her reply.. " i was hoping to look at dresses never mind" she already has a grandaughter off her other son so why the big deal? he will still be gorgeous, he will have his own peronality? and kian is proud as punch to be having a baby brother to look after and grow up with! she also said boys leave u when there older, unlike girls who visit there moms all the time...i just feel when i tell people im having another boy they dont say congrats they kinda make me feel like he's a dissapointment and he really is NOT

Well for a start, that cr@p about boys leaving you when they grow up is not true - my OH is really close still to all of his family.

People seem to get this idea that 1xBoy & 1xGirl is a perfect family, but I'm not convinced. Certainly having two of the same gender means they can play together, they can share a room, you can pass down clothes (sorry, I'm into moneysaving).

Sod the lot of them. If you're happy having a boy, then don't let them take away your joy. I'm just grateful to be having a healthy baby

bollocks to them! as for boys leavin no they dont, it seems from what I have witnessed its boys who dont wana break that apron string as they grow! My hubbys awful for it yet his sister is ery independant!

that aside, next time someone asks just reply, I am very proud and happy to be addin another son to my family, a lil bro for my first son!

I think 2 boys is great, tye can grow up together and hopefull form a strong bond, (when they not killing each other!)

Congrats on your blue bump sod everyone else as long as you are happy who cares!

Yes, congrats! Those other people can f off.

When we found out I am having a girl (first LO), lots of people asked me how my DH feels about it - as if he's going to be disappointed. I told them that he's over the moon, as he was.

Ignore them - or tell them to shut their mouths.

Hun I know where u are coming from, we lost me step dad when I was really young and I said if I had a boy I would be naming him after him. all the clothes ppl where buying me where blataltly for boys, when my mum found out she was a she she cried!! I couldnt believe it, but she cant wait till she is born now, but im still a little resentful so i can see where u are coming from

tell them to go to hell

Ive had this, people saying oohhh another boy arnt you dissapointed (well no actually Im very happy to have two boys) and oh you will have to have another so you can have a girl (I could have ten kids and no girl)

me and my dh are perfectly happy having two boys, and we do not want any other children.

people can be so hurtfull without even thinking about it,

sorry theyre making you feel this way, but at the end of the day your happy and they can jump lol

How hurtful, some people just don't 'think' before they open there traps!

i have 2 boys and they get on so well, EVERYONE seems to expect this one to be a girl, and to there amazement we are NOT finding out the sex.

i'll be happy if baby is well and makes it all the way..

congrats on your little boy xxxxxxx

I totally know what you mean, i have 2 beautiful girls and as much as i would love to have a little boy the gender means less to me then the babies health. I just want a nice strong healthy baba. But i feel so overpowered by people about having a boy (like its there baby!!) that i feel im going to disappoint if its a little girl
