Is it bad I want more kids but not a baby boy?

Need help changing this mindset. And has anyone felt this way? My SO and myself want more kids (we have one daughter) but I don’t want a son. Like at all. It’s terrible to admit and I don’t know why I have such bitter feelings about it. I’m surrounded by kids all the time and boys r so sweet and funny but i don’t want one as a child just a girl. It is just so much easier for me. She could share a room w my daughter, I can take her into the girl bathrooms at the store. I already have a ton of girl stuff from my daughter. Girls are just more fun.. the princess toys, everything girley. I can’t even imagine being happy raising a son. Like admitting this outloud, I’m thinking what the hell is wrong w me 😂😂😂 I know I’m going to get torn to shreds in the comments. Please helpful advice

Same but opposite! I only want a boy. Knowing it's a 50/50 shot makes it not worth trying for me. Let's make a deal! 🤣 totally kidding

I thought that too until I had my son. Now I couldn’t imagine not having a boy. I absolutely love it and now feel like I wouldn’t be as happy with a girl. I feel like we think one way but when the opposite happens, it’s actually better than we ever thought

I never wanted a boy. Ended up with two. My first, apparently my jaw hit the deck when they said “it’s a boy” I was gutted. Absolutely heartbroken. But of course, soon as he was in my arms he was my amazing little baby. Second, yes I was disappointed with another boy (and last baby too) but again, soon as he was in my arms it really didn’t matter at all. Love my boys more than anything.

I felt like this and have 2 girls. I was pretty sure that I'd feel differently if I found out I was having a boy, though. You have to imagine something, and for me, that was always 2 girls, but I know I'd have loved a little boy if that's what I'd had.

When i was pregnant with my second i was hoping for a girl just cos i didnt want to deal with the issue of circumcision as I knew my partner would want our son circumcised. Ended up having a beautiful boy and he is wonderful I’m so happy. I just stood my ground and refused to get him circumcised and he hasn’t been. It’s so lovely to have a boy. The stuff doesnt matter. Even with a girl they might not be into that stuff.

Not judging! Just wanted to say, I have a boy after being one of five girls. I didn’t think I’d know what to do. But girl. This boy is my life. He is sunshine and snuggles. He is kind and sweet. He loves to dress up and help me with the cooking after we play cars or super heroes together 🥰
It’s okay if you don’t want that. But it can be just as magical and sweet.
Maybe just spend more time alone with gentle baby and toddler boys? 🤣 or just adopt a girl lol

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.
