I hoped my first was a boy - and he was. My second was, too. If we decide to have a third, I'd like a little girl.
Nothing wrong with hoping for one or the other. If you have a girl, though, rest assured you'll be wrapped around her finger.
When u found out your wife/gf/slampiece was having a kid, did you hope it was a boy?
I ask this b/c i'd think it'd be more rewarding to have a son. Ballgames, barbecues, teaching him how to hunt, fish, build stuff, and become a man. There's so much pride to be had, it seems.

Yes and no. Part of me did want a son for the same reasons most men do but I couldn't be happier having two daughters. Growing up my dad was old school and didn't show affection towards us boys. Never said "I love you" or gave us hugs. He has changed over the years and now hugs and says I love you to all his grandkids.
There is also much pride watching a daughter grow and become a young woman. I've played ball, fished, laughed and cried with them and there is special bond between a father and daughter that I wouldn't trade for the world.
Maybe he just didn't love you.
Oh, I knew he did but he just wasn't one of those to say it.
I'd trade it for a boy.
Not me. I don't miss having a boy one bit.
Yup...hoped it was a boy...and now he's a man.
He has been the absolute love and pride of my life. One day...he revealed....sigh...(buries hands in face)...
He was into Rap music....
He's still...ok...I guess...
Not everybody is into cheesy 80's soft rock.
Can't say I blame them...80's music sucks balls...the 80's were the tiest times for music tbh...
No woman would willingly reproduce with you, so don't sweat the small stuff, scro.
If you expand your knowledge beyond eminem lyrics and robocop quotes you might land that elusive 2nd date someday![]()
I remember when Betts first told me she was pregnant. We were jubilant. I had a glass of rye to celebrate.
What if he gay?
It would break my heart, but I'd still support him and go to all his soccer games.
Would you support him when he ran for Prom Queen?
I'd do whatever it takes to make sure he isn't living in a dingy basement and using cinderblocks as furniture when he's 50.
You just proved his point.![]()
I have a son and a daughter and it was not more rewarding having a son. You can do all those things with a girl too you know.
You got that right.
You guys turn every thread into talking about sexing each other (and each other's family members). It's an odd phenomenon.
Anyway, I think that most men probably hope for boys (whether they admit it or not). But once they have a kid, it doesn't really matter -- they end up loving the girls and doing things with them just as much.
I made no such sexing references. I find them inappropriate,immature, and beneath me.
As to your other point, I assume you're right (you and LJ have kids, I don't), but I think it would be easier to raise a boy (and much more enjoyable) from a guy's perspective. I know I wouldn't want to go through the of parenting a teenage girl.
