Lol, funny! Maybe this would be a good way to get a girl!

Ditto all of what you said, except DS3 is 11 mo old. I HATE being reminded by my DH that I'm lucky our boys are healthy. Yes, I know that I am lucky for that. I sometimes wish there were an alternate universe where we would have had 3 girls instead and then asking DH how he felt. I honestly think that if the tables were turned (ie: 3 girls instead of 3 boys), my DH wo...

[quote user="Melpomene"]I have that fear too. But the reality of it is when they do something boy oriented with DH I am relieved I have time to myself.
I love that while they do come with me to the bathroom at a store, if DH is with us he always takes them. They do have a penis so if dad's around he takes them.
Most of the stuff we do includes all of us most of the time. BUt man I love t...

The third was my hardest too. I just figured that what were my chances of having another boy? They always say it's 50/50, so then how come I keep getting boys? Anyway, even though I had really bad GD with DS3, he is the apple of my eye. Such a sweet baby, I've really enjoyed him and feel badly I had such bad GD. I'm sad though, b/c he is my last (vasectomy), and...

Oh yeah, DS3 is my charmer too. Not only does he draw ppl's attn, he's also a very social baby, in that he loves to interact with other ppl. So, it's like he has a magnetic personality. Ppl can't help but to stop and coo to him and when he coos back, they go crazy, lol.

Wow, your sil sounds like a real peach! [^o)] I would post back with something kind of snarky like, "Someday your rose is going to want a thorn of her own." That will make her shut up.

Wow, I am surprised how many ppl are getting so nasty over this and ripping into the OP, b/c of your own insecurities of what it may be like when you become a MIL. You must all have really nice MILs to not to be able to put yourself in the OP's shoes to understand what her MIL is like from a DIL's POV. I have a MIL issues similar to the OP's, and I can totally understand why it i...

Actually BR, the way you describe her in your last post is VEEERY similar to the way my mil is. She seeks from her sons, what she should seek from her husband. She gets jealous if my DH does something nice/romantic for me, to the point where I no longer feel comfortable even mentioning it when he does something nice for me. So, yeah, I understand how it is to have a mil lik...

Oh and easter is when my GD gets REAAAALLY bad, b/c of all of the pretty easter dresses. My solution to that is that I buy my boys easter outfits on clearance the yr before, so I can avoid cloth shopping all together close to easter. Easter is literally the time when I will be at the store and start crying b/c of all of the pretty girl stuff. I'm lucky that we go to a churc...

You know, I used to do that. However, I'm at the point now that when I go shopping for clothes for my boys, I treat it like I am on a mission. I go into the store, go directly to the boy section, look around in the boy's section, if there is nothing I like, I leave the store. I used to look longingly over at the girl section, but all it did was depress me.

I think that it's normal for babies to be clingy to their moms, but of course I think everyone knows a child who they feel is abnormally clingy. For me, DS1 was not clingy at all, DS2 was very high needs, not clingy, but just always needed something from me, so when he was little he was like my shadow. Now that he is a preschooler, I would not consider him clingy. DS3 is a happy ...

I need to bookmark that site. My kids have ruined a LOT of our stuff, to the point where I regret ever being dumb enough to buy them nice things. I need to look at the destruction that ppl have posted, to remind myself that I am not the only one with kids like that...

Clarina, my parents are also from another country and I definitely understand a lot of the issues you have had with your mom. I have very similar issues, most esp the extra crticism my mom saves just for me and then the favortism both of my parents have for my brothers (I am the only girl). It's tough growing up like that and like you, I was a good kid, never got into trouble, al...

OP, I know what you are going through. I was ok with my two boys and so excited that my third might be my girl. Well, I had my 20 wk u/s and I was DEVESTATED. I had tricked myself into thinking that I would be ok if #3 was another boy, but the truth was, I wasn't ok with it at all. I felt like the little girl I had dreamt of was forever lost. However, like Mrs. Weasley said...

Yeah, some really good shows do go downhill after a few seasons. I loved, "Prison Break" and then it got REALLY stupid. LOST has totally lost me this season, not to mention stupid American Idol keeps screwing up our DVR, so I've had to watch it on hulu instead. I wonder where they are going to go with it too, b/c Hank keeps digging himself deeper and deeper and you know tha...

OMG, I LOOOOVE this show. It is IMO one of the best tv series I have watched. I think what makes it even better is still have, "Hal" (from malcomb in the middle in my head, so it's so awesome to see his play a completely opposite role).

I feel your pain. I feel like it's a double whammy for boy moms on mother's day and father's day. They make a big deal about mother-daughter stuff for MD, and for father's day it's the whole daddy's girl thing. Ummm, what about BOYS???

BBBB, I could have posted the same thing as you. In fact, I have a good friend with BBG and even though she has not held it over me (I actually think she might have preferred to be an all boy mom, it suits her personality better), I have been avoiding her. We've only gotten together ONCE, and her baby girl is over a yr old now. I know another woman who got BBG too and I cou...

Melpomene, I'm so glad that you posted your thoughts. I am starting to feel a lot like you are too and getting closer to the point where I am realizing that maybe I don't want a dd as much as I thought I did. BTW, I'm glad that you figured out what was going on with your son. I had a moment today. I took DS2 on a field trip for preschool. I caught myself observ...

Is it a sign that I'm starting to rise above GD when there are posts over at the GD folder that I find infuriating and annoying? I read one that other day that just had me in disbelief and made me shake my head. Maybe this is a sign that I'm starting to wake up from the GD fog? Anyone else feel like this when they were starting to come to grips with their GD?

Maybe you should post at the extreme gender disappointment folder.

Actually, finding toys for my boys has never been an issue. Target, TRU, online and secondhand, my kids are obsessed with LEGO mostly. However, I am terrified of wandering down the girl toy aisles, b/c it is so foreign to me. We've had to buy gifts for girl bdays several times in the past few months and I always freak out going into the girl's aisle, get overwhelmed and the...
