    Yes and no. My mom was always very competitive with me and not in a nice way. I was afraid I'd be the same if I had a daughter, so I never wanted to have one and find out. As soon as I found out I was pregnant with my middle child, I knew she was a girl and, although I kept the worry until after she was born, she is exactly who I'd want her to be.

  • I'm very glad that things turned out peacefully, with no unnecessary bickering between mother and daughter.

    Yes, I had no wish any other than healthy kids. It is what I have gotten. I am very pleased with them all (no matter sex). :-)

  • As they say, if you don't desire, you won't be disappointed.

    Children should be a GREAT pleasure. Nothing is more life confirming than giving birth to a healthy child. They deserve all the love we can give them. Their sex should be of no importance.

    Btw, the desire was there, a healthy kid. Having kids without desire is not fair towards them. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at October 28, 2016 1:26 AM MDT

    Our two children are of the same gender, when my wife was pregnant the second time, I was hoping for one of each. Things turned out differently.

    And now, would you still have preferred one of each?

    I've always wondered what it would be like or would have been like to have a daughter, what kind of father I would have been to one, and what kind of father-daughter relationship we would have had.

    There might be daughters (in law) following your sons.

  • I hope both children, whether sons or daughters, have given you joy and done you proud.

    (Listen, is there a spare room or two at your place?  I can have them packed up and on the next plane out of here. No one has to know, we'll keep it between ourselves.)
