But honestly, it really doesn't matter. When people say they cried when they found out their baby wasn't the gender they wanted it actually really really upsets me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-105455 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:53:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 105455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really really want a son. I wouldn't be upset if we wind up having a daughter, especially considering how long TTC is taking. But I really want to raise up a little boy to be a respectful, Christian man like my husband. Maybe he'll be a mama's boy like my husband is too! And then I'll drive my future dil crazy because no girl will ever be good enough! Haha, kidding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-105443 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:36:46 +0000 BoogieBea 105443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember when my sister was born, I hot really upset because I had wanted a little brother. So I always thought that I preferred sons. Our first is a boy and we love him to pieces. But we feel so so blessed that we also now have a little girl. Can't wait for her to be older so we can do things together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-105422 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:12:31 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 105422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm ashamed to admit that I prefer daughters. I shouldn't care, but there is something so special about raising a strong independent woman that I just can't resist. We are so blessed...</p> <p>(Though now I kind of wonder what it would be like to have a boy. #3?! kidding...)</p> <p>Edited to add that Mr. Jacks is ALL about the girls. He loves dressing them up, playing rough, going to music class and ballet... The whole 9 yards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-105355 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:22:03 +0000 autumnlove 105355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wanted a boy but I'm thrilled with my gal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-105340 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:13:38 +0000 Lozza 105340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I both wanted a girl, we got a boy, and I am LOVING having a son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-105332 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:08:06 +0000 Boogs 105332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sons. I was thrilled when we found out we were having a boy and I hope the same happens again next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-105256 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:56:47 +0000 banana 105256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH and I both really wanted a son and we were indifferent about having a daughter. I've grown up around alot of boys (brother, tons of boy cousins) so I felt comfortable raising one. Now that we found out we're having a girl, DH and I are slooooowly warming up to the idea of having a daughter. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-105232 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:41:57 +0000 lemondrop 105232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we had all sons, I wouldn't be disappointed. But girl's clothes and accessories are fun! </p> <p>We both want 2 sons and 1 daughter. My husband really wants a daddy's girl. I am terrified of having a super girly girl, since I have always been a big tomboy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-105224 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:35:02 +0000 Meridian 105224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer daughters! I asked my husband last week if he would be disappointed if we had 2 daughters and he said no. But then I told him I would be sad if we had 2 sons, hahaha (is that a terrible thing to say?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-104762 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:10:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 104762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like a daughter, DH would like a son. I think we would both be happy with either though! I would love to see the look on my dad's face if I could tell him he's finally getting a boy in the family (he has 3 daughters/3 granddaughters) so I'm okay with either. Mostly I want a girl beacuse all her cousins are girls and we would have a lot of good clothes handed down to us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-104698 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:29:42 +0000 chopsuey 104698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer daughters. DH prefers daughters too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-104688 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:19:28 +0000 Adira 104688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always wanted a daughter, and my husband doesn't seem to have a preference. He seems to want a daughter because I want one so badly. Plus my best friend has a daughter who's totally adorable and fun and my husband totally likes playing with her, so he's seeing the draw of little girls, haha.</p> <p>That being said, I'd really like both a son and a daughter. Plus, my husband is the only boy in his extended family so we're really the only chance to pass along the family name, so I DO want a son at some point. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-104685 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:18:17 +0000 heffalump 104685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted a girl, and we have one. My husband would like a son, but loves lo and I know he'd love any baby we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-104682 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:16:04 +0000 tequiero21 104682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my husband really wanted a son. i wanted at least 1 daughter. i don't think i can handle 3 boys or 3 girls (if we have 3 kids)....too much testosterone/estrogen. my husband really didn't want a daughter, but now that we're having one, i think he's really grown attached to her already and said he can't wait for her to come (although he leaves her all to me when she becomes a teenager lol).... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-104674 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:09:09 +0000 Andrea 104674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: ditto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-104663 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 06:46:22 +0000 Rubies 104663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted a daughter and have one now and I'm so thrilled. My husband always wanted a son but became so smitten with LO that he now feels he doesn't *need* a son...He said he can probably have all girls and be happy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-sons-or-daughters#post-104662 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 06:43:19 +0000 mrbee 104662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to think that in general men preferred sons, but I've learned from Hellobee that it's pretty common for women to prefer daughters!</p> <p>Do you prefer sons or daughters? What about your SO: does he or she prefer sons or daughters? </p>
