Gender disappointment. Not from my husband and I but from everyone else.


I know gender disappointment is normal for parents. My husband and I have 3 daughters and I know my husband was a little disappointed when we found out number 2 was a girl but she's his little buddy now. She's the one out with him working on the car and loves her Saturday morning fishing trips with daddy. The slight gender disappointment has gone away completely.We are expecting our 4th and recently found out it's another little girl. We were both thrilled and expected the same from everyone else, but it seems like everyone has something negative to say. People have apologized, told us that it's okay to be upset, asked if we were going to keep trying so my husband can get his boy, and everything in between.Anytime I am out with my girls and someone spots the belly, they'll ask if we are having a boy or a girl. When I say that we are having a girl, you can see the disappointment in their faces. The next go to is for them to recommend different old wives tales to have a boy the next time around. I guess people expect us to keep trying until we finally have a boy.We're done and we're happy. I know that the pregnancy is making me a little hormonal, but I can't help but be annoyed when people say things like this. The suggestions that my husband is somehow disappointed frustrates me for him. Don't even get me started on the people who ask if we have loaded up on shot guns yet. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2rORoQ5
