I think he'd feel about the same as if I had never had a daughter. Just a bit of wondering about a different experience. He loves his little girl and his almost born little girl so I don't think he'd have any regrets and he mentioned during a rough patch of pregnancy that he's very happy with 2 and no need to go for 3 (I think we will since we've always wanted 3 but it was nice to say). But I do think he'd wonder a bit about what his son would be like if he had one.

My husband never wants a son. He was SO excited when we found out DD was a girl. If we have more LOs he wants them to be girls too lol.

We used to talk about two,maybe three if we had two of the same... We're now both solidly in the two and through camp, and have discussed that we'll just be happy with whatever we are given

Mine would have been disappointed initially but it's not something that he'd hold onto.

I think he would have been fine with girls but he was so excited to have a boy! Although, I think DD and DH are closer just because DD adores her dad (more so than DS).

I don't think he cares either way! I think we're on the same page that a sister for DD would be great, as would a brother

Totally fine. He adores our little girl. We do have a son though.

I think so! He was just super stoked to be a dad! We've ended up with 2 boys (one on the way) so far anyway though!

Yup! He was hoping for girls both times and that's what we got!
The comments about wishing for a boy can be annoying. If we have a third, it's not based on that!

DH wanted a daughter the first time around and we got a son. He's getting his daughter this time though. I'm sure he would have been happy with all girls.

My DH would be thrilled with a whole houseful of little girls:). Sometimes he says he wants FIVE! Cue me passing out, lol

Before we had our daughter he really wanted to at least have one boy. Now that our daughter is here he said that he wouldn't mind having all girls

DH really really wants a boy. We want three biological children, so hopefully one of them is a boy. If not, we've talked about adopting a boy.

I think mine would be disappointed. He really does want a son at some point.

He is thrilled that we have a boy...he would definitely be disappointed if we hadn't ever had a son. As would I! I really want both a boy and a girl.

I think he might have a slight preference for a son for our third but he will be happy with another girl!

He'd be fine with it, he talks about how he feels like he'll have an easier time being close to a daughter. I think he'd be disappointed if he didn't get to have a girl & he'd be fine without a son. His family on the other hand would not be as accepting of all girls. I don't have any preference.

It is hard to say because we have a son, but I would like to think it wouldn't have mattered to him. We are only having this one, and I don't think he longs for a daughter.

He didn't care. But now that we do have a son, he completely enamored with him. I love seeing my boys together!!

He wanted a daughter more than a son, and only wanted one child.

I think my DH may be disappointed for a short while, but he would get over it. He loves our little girl more than anything. He would be absolutely great with all girls!

I think he would have been mostly disappointed his family name would end. He only has sisters so he felt it was up to him to keep it going. Well, he's got 2 boys now so he's happy! Other than that though, I don't think he would have cared.

yup i think so. but i'm really glad we have one of each. charlie is so bonded to mr. bee.

@T.H.O.U.: I think the ONLY reason we'd be bummed about not having a boy is that we have two REALLY good names picked out! Otherwise, we're happy with either.

I do think he'd be disappointed, he really wants a boy someday. Or at least, before we were having a baby, he would also refer to the hypothetical future baby as a boy But now that I am pregnant, he says he doesn't care about the sex, just a healthy baby.

I think he'd be disappointed but he wouldn't ask to "try for a boy" if we were done having kids. He really wants to continue the family tradition of First Middle LastName IV since he is the III but if all we have are healthy girl embryos (we have to do IVF with genetic testing), he will be thrilled with healthy baby girls.

Yes. If we have a second, he would love another little girl.
nectarine / 2932 posts
I definitely think he'd be disappointed. We don't have any children, so that may change once we do if we have a girl first...but I know that when we do get pregnant he'll hope it's a boy.
