My friends and family always ask me if i like being the only girl in the house out of 5 poeople. Well actually, soon its going to be 6 because i am pregnant with another boy. Well my friends are always bragging about there daughtors, and im the only one who dosnt have a daughtor, and they say to me " dont you ever wish you had girls instead of boys, because your daughtors would more likely come talk to you, than a son would". That made me so mad! Im happy with my sons. they also say stuff like " I cant believe you actually enjoy your life with 3 sons, wouldnt it be so much more fun picking stuff out for girls, and buying stuff for girls". I am like upset because they are saying stuff like that! They dont have sons, so what do they know. They think boys are hard to handle, but they dont know that! All they want is the easy way out of things! Should i make a comment about having a daughtor? Or should i just leave it alone??

Most father's would like to have a son to pass on the name and since they haven't been able to give their husbands that they are probably jealous of you. I wouldn't make any comments about daughters, instead if they say it again I think you should tell them how you feel about it.

I have 4 son and i know how you feel!!! But i also do have one daughter as well and from experience i can say that girls are easier than boys how ever girls are more expensive than boys. But no i don't think anyone has the right to ask you those question. I have put my foot down with those sort of comments. I love my sons very much and wouldn't trade them for a girl any old day...So yes you should say something but say it as nicely as possiable and clear enough for them to get the point.. That is what i did. Good luck and best wishes

I have a boy and a girl, two nieces, and a couple of boys that hang out at the house enough to be my own. Boys are actually much easier, in my opinion. I don't really know what you should do here, but I can't imagine friends that would behave so awfully. Perhaps if you comment on the fact that they have no boys-just wait until they do-then they'll know which is easier. Besides, it's not about easy, is it?

I would rather raise my two boys than my girl any day of the week. Don't get me wrong I love all my kids, but I have a red headed daughter with a temper. She is the least likely to as me for advice or even ask me to take her shopping. If I were you I would tell my family and friends that I am just grateful to have 3(4) healthy boys and leave it at that. Don't let it stress you out they are just jealous of your family.

Every parent always thinks that heir child(ren) is the best ( no matter what the gender). They are just trying to convince every one else of the same thing. People are rude and say dumb things...it is in their nature!
Just be happy that you have healthy boys! Enjoy each of them. I personally think that boys are the BEST! Just think of all those wedding dances you will have with them:) There is nothing better than a Mama's boy!!! Keep in mind that your role as a mother to boys is extremely important! You are setting the standard for all women in their minds. Make the standard high!!! You will enjoy it later! Ha Ha Ha...

There is nothing wrong with having just boys or girls or both. No situation is easier than the others. I have one brother and one sister. We fight, argue, and get on each other nerves, but we are there for another. My uncle has three girls and another has boys. Each can be trouble makers as well as best friends. Boys tend to go to each parent depending on what the topic is. Just tell them you are quite happy with your boys and wouldn't change it for the world.

It shouldn't matter what sex they are. Children are children, they should be happy for you.
It is alot easier raising boys than girls now a days.....
thank your lucky stars..
boys tend to bring out the simpler things in life and even tho they spit, scratch, get filthy and have lizards as pets, they are easier to live with.....
I wouldn't even bother with their naive comments, cause they are
obviously tring to push your buttons.. don't let them.. have fun with your boys and congrats on the new one coming....

You need new friends!
More realistically, your friends need to be put in their place. Point out to them that you don't mock them for having girls, so you'd appreciate it if they wouldn't mock you for your boys.
You could also say things like, "It's so wonderful having boys! I'll never have to worry about them getting pregnant." and "Do you see the ways girls are dressing nowadays? I'm glad I don't have to deal with that." and "It must be so stressful having a daughter, and trying to teach them that their self-worth doesn't come from their boyfriend's approval."

Next time you say, "Why would you say something like that? I LOVE my boys! There's nothing in the world I can imagine enjoying more than I enjoy spending time with my boys." If you consistantly but kindly let them know they've hurt your feelings, they'll back off.
