That's a very smart way to put it. How can we know something if we never had experienced it?

I hope you know that this DOES NOT happen everywhere in India! India is changing their ways rapidly, it's mostly the poor villages, rural areas, and people with the old fashioned mentality where they still believe boys are the prized ones and will go off killing innocent little girls-they are also fighting against female infanticide as well. Because where my family originates and ...

I think there are exceptions to that though, probably many do cover up, but I met very few who are SMOGS and you can tell that they just DO NOT want a boy!! One at some restaurant broke into tears b/c she was having a boy after 4 girls. Also I found this recently about how this lady does not want a "beastly" boy and wrote an article about it [+o(]. Personally I cannot stand people who t...

Also we had quite a few girl only moms who were wanted more girls and were upset in having a first boy...I can't fathom that (unless it's for a very good reason and not stereotypical). Also it's kind hard to see that everyone wants to give their girl a sister for the experience, but cares less if their son has that. Equal much? But to answer the thread questions..are girls better than boys?...

Well, did you only want daughters? Would you minded a boy had you already girls? I hope no one made any remarks about your family. Just b/c you don't have a girl means you are second class.

I'm glad this post came up b/c I have a lot to say on my mind on this. Where I live girls seem to be the "prized" gender, ppl seem to pity you for even having one boy..and it's nonsense. Like Luv4them and Winter said, I think ppl are only wanting girls for the pink, materialistic crap w/o knowing the reality due to societal perceptions. Today's world have changed a lot, and though I'm glad f...

I agree..and that's why this board exists to certain people, like you want a daughter to pass on female wisdom and so on. There's nothing wrong with that. People have differnet reasons, but the point I think the OP was trying to say is gender is irrelevant when it comes to behavior. Honestly I'm in the group who hates and despises when people stereotype like girls are all prett...

Whaaaa?? So your friend put on FB that the reason why your husband is on the football committee team is because you are all jealous that they are having a baby girl?? [:^)]That makes zero sense and is just nonsense.

My youngest cousin was the most brattiest, loudest little girl who threw the worst tantrums, worse than your sister's DS and was just downright rude to her mom at 3-4 years old. If you experienced this, would this diminish your desire for a daughter and put you "off girls"? Don't assume all llittle girls are what you make it to be..in fact you can end up with the opposite. Stereotypes ar...

I SO agree with all this!If people learned not to be so judgemental, perhaps it will ease GD in some ways since there's no pressure.

Awesome.You are very open and have a heart warm. God bless your little boys, and really I hope one day you are blessed with the little girl you deserve of...perspectives are always great!

Meaning like if you have two boys and are desperate for a girl, would you be in the same position if you had two girls first and want a boy? If preferred a one gender family, would you still have GD or be ok in having an opposite after having plenty of your DG? (Like wanted all boys, have 3 boys but have GD that 4th is a girl) Just wondering.

Next time he says that, just says, "so are sons"A child will be a child for life if you raise em right and give the proper love and affection.

I think you should sit with her one of these days and talk to her about how very inappropriate that is to say since you have sons and she really doesn't know what it's really like since she doesn't have a son. You can't make assumptions about something you don't have and don't know. Another thing maybe she does have GD where she was hoping for a boy and is covering it...

Well if she stereotypes saying all girls are "sweet and loving", you can use a comeback of saying "well at least I don't have to deal with hormonal moody bitches when older." or "Exactly, sweet and loving as my BOYS". If the stereotype that girls are sweet and loving is 100% true, then the comeback must also be true as well. Of course people who have an actual brain knows these st...

I agree with the OP that you can pass down wisdom to a son as well...he's your child! The greatest give a mom can give to her kids is her love and wisdom. Gender has nothing to do with it. To be a eye opener, what's more important is you look at the individual, not at the person's gender. Have you ever thought of that? Plus there's no guarantee for anything. You daughter may not like cooking and s...

Well you've got a little boy, so you're a bit more special with the only boy...since it's your first..why don't you want a little boy..just curious?

I wish Blue and Pink roses would not leave ! Don't know what the post was about but know it's on boy bashing. One thing I can point out is that whoever does that is trashing down 50% of the human kind, even their husbands...and that is just ridiculous. If you have a aversion in bashing boys and men...you must be selfish to get married. I get it when having a dream and being sad that it does not ha...

[quote user="Norway_"]She is only telling you how she feels. Should she lie? Having a daughter IS different, it IS nice to escape all the car toys, swords and tractors.
And I DO look forward to following my own daughters through their pregnancies, when it happens.
You clearly must also have some of these feelings, since you long for a girl?
So why is it wrong for anyone to say it out loud...

Amen!! When the baby comes, it's hard to deny the love and by then you won't care if it's a boy or girl [;)]. Also NB, congrats on another little girl! Hoping all will turn out ok!
