Both myself and my husband were so happy to find out we were having a baby girl. She was the first granddaughter after 8 grandsons and very highly anticipated. My MIL told me since getting married “you will give me a granddaughter” which was intense ngl.
i can't wait to have a baby girl, and i'll keep trying til i get one ❤ i've always reveled in everything feminine and i can't wait to share that with my daughter 🤗 UNLESS she's a tomboy, then we're switching gears and i'll be playing with her in the mud and loving every moment of that, too 💕
As a mom with a son I cannot wait for him to grow up and live his life. I can't imagine him being my "baby" forever. He's a person. His own person. I love him but I am not In love with him. I also cannot fathom letting him hit his sisters! (Which he doesnt have yet*). Disgusting! I am raising my son to be a man one day. NOT A MONSTER.
When did this trend develop of wanting boys? I 100% didn't care but once I actually started thinking that I might want children, I always thought I'd have daughters. Now, as the mom of a boy, I cannot imagine feeling or behaving like that. It's just crazy.
jocasta didn’t know because there had been a prophecy made that her and her husband’s son would kill her husband and marry her. because of this her husband sent the son away as soon as he was born. he was taken in by another royal couple and heard the prophecy about him, and, assuming it was about the couple who had raised him, ran away and ended up running into his father. he killed his father and helped save the kingdom and so was unwittingly given his mother as wife.
I don’t agree. I have two boys and the amount of negative comments I get about that and people being “disappointed” for me is huge. The mum saying people with 5 girls get asked when they’re trying for a boy…. The exact same thing happens when you say you’ve got multiple boys but about a girl. Soooo many people tell me girls are better, kinder, easier. And I think the toxic boy mom thing often comes from a défense mechanism because the mothers wish they had a daughter so feel like they need to be outspoken about how happy they are to have only sons and how great it is beign a boy mom (obviously not in the case they have both). I think toxic girl moms also exist.
No, toxic boy mom is a misogyny problem. People always do that, when you have too many girls, they ask where are the boys, too many boys, where are the girls. Saying girls are gentle and sweet is a prime example of misogyny!! Someone saying that to you doesn't make it a systemic issue. Toxic boy moms are rooted in misogyny and self-hatred, period. If it doesn't apply to you, let it fly, but here is not the place to say "not all boy moms"
💯 I come from a family with lots of girls in it so when I found out I was having a boy I was a little gutted. I felt like I had no idea what to do with a boy. Thank God, I obviously found lots of joy in having a son but there is definitely still--even in me--this desire for a daughter in addition to my son (as I would never wish to replace my son). I honestly think in terms of media in our current culture, having girls is considered so much more valuable. For my part, I want to pass on my girly talents and interests to a daughter. My son and I have lots in common but there are definitely interests of mine he could care less about. No gaurentee a potential daughter would care about them either but there's more of a chance anyway. At the end of the day, having *any* children, no matter their sex, is truly a blessing, IMHO.

Girl🫢 I am glad he is an ex now
Appreciate this analysis! The best cure to boy moms is healthy relationship between the parents.
Agreed! 😊✨

I dated a guy with a toxic boy mum and she made my life hell
