hi, I''m not starting a family, but this issue popped up at the office.
a colleague''s wife is pregnant and both he and his wife are depressed because it''s going to be a girl instead of a boy. I think this has to do with cultural reasons and being the first grandchild that they wanted it to be a boy.
it sounded a bit harsh to me that you would be upset about that (as I would think you should just be happy that you did get pregnant and just hope your kid is born healthy) but as having never been in this situation I wouldn''t know.
anyone else had their hearts set on a boy or a girl only to find out that it would be the opposite? how did you deal? I imagine once your child is born you love it to death and have forgotten all about it.
