What is wrong with having another boy?

Question

I have just found out that I am pregnant with my second son, but for some reason everyone I know have awful comments to say to me, such as I am going to have to try again then, and I have to try and have a girl, and poor you having another boy. Why isn't anyone happy for me and I don't understand why it matters what s*x baby I have. Even my mother in law really wanted me to have a daughter because she has 4 grandsons now. Also, all of my friends seem to be disappointed because they have sons and not a daughter. I don't understand it.

Answer 1

Absolutely nothing. The birth of a baby is to be celebrated whether it is a boy or a girl. They are all little miracles.

Answer 2

Ignore them. They're being rude and ignorant. Celebrate in the fact that you're having another very healthy and beautiful baby, boy or girl!

Congrats!

Answer 3

I'm in the same boat - pregnant with my second boy.  I hear the same rude comments.  I just shoot back, "I'm thrilled it's another boy.  My son will have a perfect little playmate."  And I ignore their tones.  When someone tells me I'll have to try again for a girl, I say "Why don't you go ahead and try for a girl instead?"  That shuts them up.

Answer 4

There is nothing wrong with it at all. I have a girl and a boy, but if I had 2 of the one I would be happy. What ever happened to no caring about the s*x, just making sure its healthy.

Dont worry what people say!

Answer 5

I know...... i dont understand why people are like this, my dad has four girls and hated it when people used to say anything about having a son, he wasnt bothered either way.

Also people should be grateful they can conceive at all, there are lots of couples out there who would love to be parents, but its not happened, they wouldnt care if they have two boys or three girls they would just love to be a mommy and daddy.

Congratulations on your baby son-thats great news.
