A question to mamas wanting a boy

 It seems that most women here, including myself, want a girl. It kind of makes me relieved that there are women who want a boy too!

 

So, I'm curious to know what dreams you have for potential sons-to-be? What do you imagine it will be like, what do you look forward to?

 

Thanks for answering! 

i just want to raise him to be a decent man (god knows there are too few of them)

I have always wanted a son ever since my first pg, not sure why i think i have always related to boys more. Ended up with two dds whom i adore but had that longing for a boy still, when got pg this time i prayed and prayed it was a boy, thankfully someone heard my prayer and gave me my little boy. I cant wait too see him grow up into (hopefully) a loving kind man. Also i so want a wee version of DH, im excited for him too even though his dd is his princess, i know he is very excited to have a boy, to enjoy those male things together. My dds are very similar and my oldest is very like me - i was a horrible teenager and drove my parents crazy, so im expecting the same x2. But im hoping my boy is a mammas boy (like my dh), who will dote on me and treat me like a queen, because he will definatly be my prince. I just cant wait to meet him. Only two weeks to go and he will be here.

 I don't want a boy because I already have one but I was delighted to have him for many reasons.  Like a PP said there aren't enough good men in the world. I dated so many losers and was engaged to an awful cheater and liar and did not meet my wonderful DH until I was 27.  I want to raise a son to be a good man who respects women and treats them well and will be a good husband and father someday and one less jerk and dead beat dad for the world that's already full of them.  I also think the mother-son bond is a very special one.My dad loved my grandma and was so good to her during her final years while a few of his sisters kept demanding things from my grandparents despite grandma's illness. Dad always did whatever he could to help grandpa out with grandma and he was very sad when we lost her because he loved his mom so much.  I have three brothers who absolutely love our mom to bits and are very close to her and call her for support and advice often. My mom was the first person one of my brother's called when he went through a difficult break up.

  My DH was so elated to have a little boy to have that daddy-son bond with too.   His own dad abandoned his family for another woman when DH was 11and has not spoken to his chidren since so for him to be able to have a father-son bond after losing his own dad like that is really special for DH.  He was happy to have a little boy to do "manly things" with which in my husband's case pretty much means a bizarre obsession with nerf guns and video games.

I want a little girl too but havinig a little boy is wonderful. He is a sweetie who adores his mama already and I love him right back. And the clothes are so adorable especially with a carter's outlet store nearby. He wears tons of Carters.

 Thank you so much for your answers! I need to hear these things to recover from my GD

 I want the mama's boy too.  I dream of all the cute clothes, getting to buy boy toys, daddy and son things (my dh loves to fish, hunt, camp, cook, etc.).  Want to raise him to be a great man who treats a woman wonderfully, who's a great father too.  My dh is such a mommy's boy, one of the things that really attracted me to him, it's very sweet.  I love my dd's; but I know the teen years will come when they want nothing to do with me.  I have bad pay backs coming on that, I was a sweet little girl, hit 15 years and rebelled until I hit 18 years, now my mom and I are very close; but I hurt her when I was a teen.  My brothers never caused my mom that grief as teens, they were still good to her. And probably the most shallow of all, it will be nice to have a child who is dress and go, no worrying about fixing hair, fighting over brushing it, pulling ponytails and bows out, losing the bows (which aren't cheap) and gum in hair.

hah i hear ya!

i like to put matching scrunchies and ribbons made out of the same pattern as their school uniform in ther hair, about half the time they come home without them, when i quiz them about the missing hair thingys they couldnt care less! 

But i have to agree with all the above posters, i would LOVE to have a little mamas boy, i dont know exactly what it is, but all my favourite movies have little boys in them, haley joel osment is one of my favourites, in the movie AI, the way he LOVED his mama made me cry, and those gorgeous twin boys that played Julien in Big Daddy just melted my heart. I have just always wanted a boy.

rather insensitive to girl bash on a thread girl mums whom dont yet have a boy are replying to!!!

I said it before I had a boy (in my GD posts) but I knew that response was coming as like I said, girls whine!  So I'll delete it.

Read the question.

The OP is asking peoples opinions and reasons why they wanted a boy.  No where does it say that the reasons must be rational or correct, last I knew NO GD was rational, but maybe yours totally is.  Those were MY reasons, rational or "pathetic".  I answered the question.

Oh and you're not harsh to me, I really don't care enough.

imo you could have said what great about boys without even mentioning girls

Well someone else asked earlier about why cat lovers like cats, and I chose to compare them to dogs even though there are a lot of choices out there in regards to pets. 

With Gd there are only 2 choices- boys or girls.  My GD was because my first was a girl, sorry you may not understand that (and it's okay if you don't, most people want both, I only wanted boys)  It's my problem, based on my own experiences and not fact by any means.  Some people here only want girls.  GD is different...

Actually it's funny you mention it because I often refer to what I had as gender "adversion".  I was truly terrified of having a girl, for all the reasons listed, and then some.... but I won't go there.  It's not personal and I will never say that what went on in my little messed up head was right.  A lot of all boy moms ask the same question over and over- "will my son leave me?" "Is the saying 'a daughter is a daughter for life, a son is a son until he takes a wife' true?"  This of course isn't true but it is very real to a GD-er.... mine was real for me.  Please respect that was MY experience.
