So I have 4 boys, we are TTC #5.
I always wanted boys first, and it wasn't until my 4th baby when I actually felt that I wanted a girl. He was my first experience of Gender Disappointment.
I've had my ups and downs but he is now a year old and as much as I'd still like a girl, recently I've been feeling really good. What will be will be and thats fine by me. I've accepted that I'll have a 5th boy even though I'm not even pregnant yet and I'm ok with that. I've been happy with the hand life has dealt me.
Then today I read a comment on a TTC post, by someone TTC their 1st baby. They said they recently babysat a little girl, the only girl they have ever sat for, all the others have been boys. And that she was so much fun, that sure boys are fun too, just not as much fun as girls and that now she hopes she'll get a girl.
This really annoys me. It also makes me feel like "yeah, and I bet she gets her girl as well. Everyone but me gets their girl" I know this isn't true. I know people with 5/6/7/8 boys or MORE and no girl. But I just feel like 1 simple comment has taken me right back to square one. And I have to post this here or I'll comment on the post in question and ruin the original posters thread.
