Being second best

Interesting because I know a lot of people who say the opposite, that girls are harder than boys, and it's mostly women who say it, too.

Retarded people don't realize how lucky they are to be able to even have kids. I'm talking about the misandrists, to be clear. If only I could have at least one child of my own... I wouldn't care if it was a boy or a girl. I'd love it with everything I've got. Not being able to be a dad just hurts so damned much. And these entitled cunts judge the poor babies based on gender.

And yet a man is a misogynistic pig when he’s upset that his kid isn’t a boy.

I raised a boy, no problem. Well, problems but from his mom not from him.

Boys are not valued in our culture until they can prove their utility to others.

It's not (acceptable).

Imagine calling the group of people that protected you during war times, invented 90% of all modern inventions, bring food to the table, literally fix the damn power lines for you "more trouble than they're worth". Cause I can't possibly imagine being that deluded.

“Boys are more trouble.”

No, they’re not. Most parents just put less effort into raising them.

We have two boys. I (woman) never wanted a girl as being tomboy all my childhood and teens and i really dislike this princess and the rest staff... But whenever i say what i wanted only boys i was frown at.

Ppl say it's awful to be rejected my father... But when mother hates you from the moment she discovered you are boy in her belly... Or my... How can THIS be compensated?

That's weird since normally women want to have boys and men want to have girls. And the conforting thing was not necessarily a gendered issue, some ppl are sad when they don't get boys

Personally, I don’t relate to the whole gender preference thing at all. I wish I could understand what is going inside your head if you just gave birth and your first reaction is to be upset about the gender.

I instantly identify with and want to protect the infant in that story, FROM his mother’s disappointment if necessary. I would hope at least one person in the room was comforting the screaming terrified person that just painfully arrived to the world. I understand as well as I can that pregnancy is a huge ordeal, but validating the mothers disappointment at the moment of birth seems ludicrous to me.

My paternal grandmother wanted a girl, so she dressed my father up in dresses for the first few years. I won’t spell it out, but it would suffice to say that left unchecked, gender preferences can evolve into treatment that can be very harmful.

I get that she had a wish, or a vision of motherhood. But since her words are limited to just occasional words, that might not be such a bad deal. Hopefully she is still a great mother to your boys and you have a great relationship with your son. I hope everything will be alright.
