Truthfully- DH wanted a boy, for my older daughters sake I wanted a girl, so we were happy either way, but I never wanted to really say anything because then whatever it was people would think "oh she must be so disappointed". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2374469 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:34:43 +0000 Raindrop 2374469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 boys here... yup I get this a lot. I do kind of want a girl but I'm not sure if I want to go through being pregnant again. </p> <p>I don't think this will ever stop though. I think people think a family is not complete without one of each sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2374443 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:13:34 +0000 Rockies11 2374443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 girls and people say it a lot, and it doesn't bother me. I just answer the question, which is that we're planning on a third in any event and I don't care if we have a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2374400 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:46:51 +0000 Mommy Finger 2374400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two boys. I've heard it but it doesn't bother me. My response is always to ask if they're going to pay for it b/c kids be expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2374094 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:20:16 +0000 .twist. 2374094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. 3 boys and I hear it a lot. "Now you have to try for a little sister!" Uh. no. </p> <p>If we do try, it won't be because we want a girl, it will be because we want another child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2374087 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:18:05 +0000 MamaG 2374087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, all.the.time. We have two girls and are done (my tubes are tied). I tell people all the time we are done but they think we still need to get that boy.</p> <p>I usually will chime in that I'm too old to have more babies. No one believes that either :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2374029 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 09:41:35 +0000 winniebee 2374029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, everyone says "are you going to try for a girl?" Such an awkward question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2374024 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 09:40:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2374024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't gotten it much with two girls and girl three on her way.<br /> I have two sisters and DH has seven sisters. No one expected us to have boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2374004 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 09:33:31 +0000 Adira 2374004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family didn't do this, but my in-laws did. As soon as we told them we were pregnant, they were all "It's a girl! We hope it's a girl! It's going to be a girl!" Then when we told them it was another boy, they were all "Oh, are you going to try for a girl?" Fuck you. I love my boys.</p> <p>ETA: We haven't heard anything since we've made it known we're two and through and not having anymore children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373989 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 09:22:53 +0000 Canoli 2373989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I was just going to say this! I am pregnant with my third boy and before I found out it was a boy, everyone stated "trying for that girl, huh?". Um no, we actually choose to have 3 children regardless of the sex. Then people would ask if this is a boy will you keep trying for a girl. Then when we found out it was a boy people definitely ask me if we will keep trying for a girl so yes it never stops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373936 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 08:44:09 +0000 mrsjyw 2373936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 boy mom and I heard it a LOT for a while; but it's died down now (DS2 is almost 5 months). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373933 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 08:41:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 2373933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure but it doesn't bother me I think it's just one of those things. When they ask if "we will try for a boy" I always respond "we might try for a third but we would be thrilled with 3 girls" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373910 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 07:48:02 +0000 yin 2373910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: lol. Maybe I'll try that next time. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373908 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 07:41:45 +0000 Mamasig 2373908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. Get used to it! I have two boys and everyone always asked if we were going to try for a girl. We did want a 3rd - no matter the sex. So when I got pregnant all I heard was- I'm rooting for a girl! Well, it is a girl. I'm happy, but I would have been happy with a boy too! I would tell my mom to stop wishing for a girl because if it was another boy, I did not want to see an ounce of sadness about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373900 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 07:06:16 +0000 Charm54 2373900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't heard it yet. I think because I have 3 sisters and we are all super close, so mostly people are excited that my girls have each other as sisters now too.</p> <p>People (family) have asked my husband though if he wants a boy... To which he replies sure, but he doesn't want 3 kids so not gonna happen :silly: I could be persuaded into a third but he's firmly 2 and through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373881 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 04:52:29 +0000 Andrea 2373881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373873 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 02:30:01 +0000 Cherrybee 2373873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend is pregnant (team green) with her second. Her first is a boy and all she keeps hearing is "I hope its a girl for you". She will be standing there with her beautiful son, like "umm thanks, I mean, I wouldn't want another one like this, would I?". </p> <p>I haven't heard anything like it yet but we find out the sex in one week so there's plenty of time after that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373869 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 02:17:53 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2373869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Constantly. And now I have 3 of the same sex, and everyone says "Well, now you HAVE to try for a 4th!"</p> <p>Because, you know, NO FAMILY IS COMPLETE WITHOUT A BOY. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373866 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 01:50:16 +0000 birdofafeather 2373866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard it actually! Whenever I said we were having another girl and super excited, I expected a comment, but heard none! I'm sure whenever we go for #3, I'll hear something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373823 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:48:15 +0000 hellobeeboston 2373823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second son is 8 weeks old and we've known he was a boy since I was 12 weeks pregnant and I actually just got our first question like this a week ago. So, not really! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373821 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:45:55 +0000 autumnlove 2373821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have 3 girls and I hear it a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373812 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:25:28 +0000 lilteacherbee 2373812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! I have two boys and people love to ask when we're gonna "try for a girl?!" It annoys me because yes, we want three, but that was always our number regardless of gender. Plus, I would be completely happy with a third boy! I actually see myself in my head with three boys. Of course, I'd love to experience a daughter, but I in no way feel like I MUST have a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373811 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:25:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2373811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: I could just say I will keep having babies forever and ever until i get the sacred boy? Or that my husband will divorce me if I don't provide him with a male heir. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373805 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:23:18 +0000 yin 2373805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and it doesn't stop no matter what you tell them. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373801 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:19:54 +0000 travellingbee 2373801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, I get that constantly. Nope people. We will not be having a third of either gender! I agree it's rude. It implies you couldn't be satisfied with two of the same gender which is ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373799 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:18:03 +0000 FannyMae 2373799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, and I didn't even tell people what gender my baby was when I was pregnant. I had a fair few random people asking if they were the same gender and if I would "go for a third". Go where? The supermarket? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-of-the-same-sex-1#post-2373795 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:16:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 2373795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have 2 girls or 2 boys, did people tell you you had to try for the opposite sex next? </p> <p>Pregnant with our second girl and I really can't believe how many people have said that- and pretty much strangers. Not only is it no ones business and impossible to predict anyway, but I love that I will have two girls! I find it even more rude than "was it planned?" </p> <p>(I'm not talking about actual friends who knew DH did have a preference for a boy- they can ask because they know me.) </p>
