J.K.
I'm expecting baby boy number 4. Do I ever think about all the things that I am "missing out on"? Sure. But I get so much more in return. For example:
1. Girls get married and the parents pay. Boys cost a whole lot less, AND we can still go with to buy the dress and ask if we can help plan with her
2. Menstral flow and cycle synch....not a problem for us! We will never have multiple people in our house that have PMS at the same time, or have to fight for the last tampon. They are all ours!
3. Barbies. Sure Barbie was fun to play with when we were small....but think of all those tiny plastic high heels that can get caught in your carpet and get in in your night-time bathroom run...Boy toys make noise as you approach. I have never stepped on a boy toy at night!
4. Cute dresses. And I mean the frilly, fluffy, OMG I wish that I was little just so I could wear this dress. Problem with said dresses? Hosery. We will never have to deal with tugging up hosery over diapers and have a person complain about the saggy parts. Also, We dont' have to teach our boys to sit like "princesses" so they don't flash their underwear.
5. Bedding. If we are busy and miss washing the sheets by a few day or even a week, boys don't mind becuase they are by virtue...boys. And they love us even if we forget to wash the sheets.
6. Better shopping trips because DHs like boy things too! Okay so Cabela's isn't MY number one store, but I bet you can get your Dh to take your sons to Cabelas with him...even to just look around! That leaves you free to go unincombered to ANY store you want and to take as long as you like. If they get back before you do..." I just missed you boys so much and the house was so quiet I just had to get out!"
Okay... So I am flying by the seat of my pants here (this is all mine). But really, what we are "missing" isnt' any more then a Mom of multiple girls say about wanting a boy. All children are gifts; reguardless of gender...or how they got to be in your family. Hope my mirth made your day a bit brighter :)
