DH has said he would be fine with two daughters and wouldn't have more kids just to try for a boy.
-
DH wanted all girls!
-
Yep. Sure he would like a boy but really all he wants is happy healthy kids. And he is enamored with DD.
-
I think so. DH would love a house full of boys, but really just being a father is his dream.
-
We have 2 boys and he desperately wanted a daughter. Then he saw {and heard} the inappropriately dressed tweens at my oldest's elementary school and said nevermind.
-
Yup. He originally wanted all girls just like me, but this baby is a boy!!
I'm sure he will be perfectly fine (and so will I) if we have all boys. Even though I always dreamed of little girls, my mind has completely changed since finding out I'm having a little boy.Now we both don't care either way for future children.
-
Mine would! He doesn't seem to have any preference one way or the other if we have a boy or girl. Or more than one of either!
-
Yep. He's always said he wanted girls.
-
He would love to have a son someday but he is so madly in love with his daughter and would never be disappointed by her or any future daughters.
-
Yes. I think if we never had a boy he would be fine. He just wants a kid.
-
Yeah. He'd be totally fine with just girls. But he'd need another bathroom
-
Yes and no. I think he'd always feel like he was missing out on something, but not enough to keep having kids in the hopes that he'd eventually get a son. FWIW, though, I feel the same way about having a daughter.
-
@T.H.O.U.: my husband feels the same way. It's annoying when people makes comments to him about "what if you have another girl...will you try for a boy"...he's like "no, I'd be happy with two girls and would only try for three kids if we decide we want three kids"
-
Yeah. I think I'd be more disappointed if we don't have a boy, but DH is the last male in his family, and we have a very unusual last name, like less than 1,000 in the U.S. unusual.
-
yep, DH recently said he's be great with all girls! BUT i would really like a son one day!
-
@sandy: same here. People just assume we're hoping for a boy this time.... not the case. We're hoping for a baby and couldn't care less what s/he is. We're done after two no matter what we have.
-
I'm sure he would like to have a son someday. He's so in love with M though that I'm sure he'd be fine with all girls.
-
Dh has said he wants our next child to be a boy but since our first was a girl he's since said he will be happy with what ever we are blessed with but if we do have all girls, then he will be getting a male dog so he's not the only male in the house.
-
I think he would be even more disappointed to never have a girl!
-
DH is so completely obsessed with our daughter, I think he'd sooner drown in glitter and head bows than mourn for a son. We would both love a little boy, one day, but will be perfectly happy if we have a house of girls.
-
Since he was the first one to annouce we were done (I am on the same page, he just got there first), yes, he is fine with it. He is hoping at least one of them will want to come back and farm someday, but one of the things I love most about him is that he sees them as just as capable of all of that work as anyone else. We love our girls.
-
Yes, he would actually prefer to have all girls.
-
My DH wants all girls too!
-
For sure, he never talks about having a son. We have 2 girls!
-
Yup he would of been fine with it but we have a boy.
-
Dan wants a son pretty badly, but we really want to adopt, so I guess we'll get a son regardless!
-
@PurplePeony: same. He really does want a boy next, and I think part of him would be disappointed to not get to have the father son bond he imagines, even though he would love our daughters. And he would not want another kid to try for a boy.
-
Yep. Hes got ds, who isn't his bio kid but he loves him
After S I think he prefers a girl but I thinl ultamately he thinks like me and just wants to bring our baby home...boy or girl. -
He really wants #2 to be a boy and won't deny it. Although I think he has now adjusted his expectations to the fact that we really could end up with two girls....
-
My husband was hoping for a girl but we are having a boy. So yes, he would be fine with only having (a) daughter(s) but that is not in store for him anyway!
-
he will be happy no matter what. we hope to have two so we'll just see what happens
-
My husband doesn't care as long as he gets one girl, because he loves the name we have picked out for a girl.
-
yes, i think he would have been ok with it. we have one of each though.
-
I think he would be happy with just girls but secretly want a boy. Of course we have one boy and another on the way.
-
Yep! He wants two girls.
-
We have a girl and before she was born talked about being one and done, maybe two kids. Now it seems like he's more in the camp of definitely two so As much as I'm sure he'd love any child I suspect another shot at having a son might have something to do with it. If we had another girl though I think he'd be ok with still stopping there, even though I know he has a dream of that father son relationship.
-
He wanted a boy but he's happy that we're only having girls.
-
He's happy with his 2 girls. I'd love to add a boy to the mix.
-
Mine would be disappointed, as would I. He sure does love having a daughter, though. I know he'd love more. But we'd both be disappointed to not have both.
-
Not entirely. He really, really wants a boy. But after seeing how much work one child is, I don't think he'll make us have additional kids to get his boy. We'll try again next time with the shettles method, but if we end up with another girl, our family will be complete.
