It does appear ...Thank you both for your comments.<br /><br />It does appear that I'm not the only one and more people are being honest about this rather than 'pretending' they have no preference. I did think after writing this post too that perhaps people say they have no preference because they don't want to admit to themselves that they will be disappointed if they don't get their preference and also - they don't want other people to know they are going to feel disappointed if the are honest before the baby is born - I guess I can understand that. <br /><br />However, I still feel more uncomfortable lying than admitting I have a preference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375163218382408550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953929105715862516.post-73804876565907289602012-02-16T14:28:37.626+00:002012-02-16T14:28:37.626+00:00Don't feel bad, I think it is only natural. I ...Don't feel bad, I think it is only natural. I have a friend pregnant at the moment with baby no. 4 - she already has 3 boys and has openly admitted that she will be devastated if it is a boy and is going to find out at the 20 week scan so as to give her self time to 'deal' with her feelings about this before the baby arrives as she doesn't want instinctive negative feelings when it is born. As you know, I have two girls and have no desire for a boy ... nor another girl tbh. I do find that most women want a girl, for all the same reasons you have said. So don't worry about those feelings xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953929105715862516.post-83744745825095903832012-02-14T20:34:38.437+00:002012-02-14T20:34:38.437+00:00I think most people have a preference, deep down, ...I think most people have a preference, deep down, whether they admit to it or not. FOr some people it might be a really strong preference, for some not. And the vast majority get over any little bit of disappointment that it's not "what they wanted" within a very short timescale. I was shocked at the "will go for another if it's a girl?" comments that I got from a few people when pregnant with Z2 - as if it's a slot machine or something! However, it also shows that a lot of people recognise that parents often would like at least one of each if they're having more than one child so don't feel bad!Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415209861691658543noreply@blogger.com
