Happy for my boys but gee, sort of sad for myself!

I really do love the wonderful bond my 2 sons share. Seeing them play together and interact and love on each other is truly amazing. I am very happy for them and that they have each other and will hopefully be best friends for life but in another way, I sort of feel sad and bummed for myself! It's like well great for them, sad for me kind of thing! I wish I had a daughter to bond with and to be able to share things in common and just have that female bond that I know I won't be able to share and have with my sons. I really hate feeling like this, I wish I could be totally happy with the family that I was blessed with but part of me I think will always be a little bit sad that I don't have a daughter. Anyone else ever feel like this, happy for their sons but sort of sad for themselves?:/

Me too. I had my second boy at the beginning of this year. I often feel such great guilt at my girl grief as he is such a positive little ray of light, and his 3 year old brother adores him. i love him too, but the yearning for some girl balance in my house hasn't gone away. I still feel jealous of those who have my dream family (one of each)... I honestly believe that most of my friends who have mixed families would want a girl badly too if they didn't have one. Like you I want desperately to feel satisfied as 3 kids just isn't an option. Sorry I can't give you something positive to hear AMiniMe, but I can offer you my sympathy & understanding.
