I am married to an only child. I am pregnant with our first child and we know it's a girl. This the first and possibly only grandchild for my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law has 2 nieces who are 9 and 6 and no nephews. She spends a lot of time with her nieces and says she tries to "bond" with them as much as possible. She pretty much does grandmother things with them.
She is the only person in our families that doesn't want to know the sex of ourbaby. At Easter, she said in front of everyone, "Well, I want it to be a boy because I have been around my nieces for the past 9 years so another girl wouldn't be anything new for me. We haven't had a boy around since my son was born."
I was offended, her nieces are not her grandchildren so of course my daughter will be special no matter what. Nieces are different that having your own granddaughter. My husband said he thought it was stupid of her to say that and was offended as well.
What do you think?
