Wanting a daughter really bad, is it normal?

56% Normal
27 Comments

I have 2 sons.. with BOTH sons I wanted a daughter. (Obviously didnt happen) my youngest son is about to be 2 and I think Im ready for another child. For the past 3 months Ive wanted a daughter really bad. Sometimes I think about it and cry. Its become depressing. I get on Pinterest and look at little girls, I get online and look at baby girl clothes, every little girl I see in public I have to stop and look at her and tell whoever she's with how beautiful she is. I talked with my fiance about whats going on and she said she feels Im obsessed. Little girls I see and speak to won't talk to me my fiance says I scare them with how in awe I am. I dont want to seem like a pedophile or creep but I REALLY want a daughter. If I was to have another son I dont think I would be happy AT ALL.

    How strange.

    Why can't you be happy with the two sons you have? Some people can't have a child at all. Focus on being the best dad you can be to the children you already have instead of worrying about what's between their legs.

    But in the end, if you're so intent on having a daughter, adopt one.

      I love my sons. They are WONDERFUL boys! But I STILL wish I had daughters. Im a WOMAN thats with ANOTHER woman. Adopt is an option though on the bright side of your comment.

        Apologies, amend my comment to "being the best mother" rather than dad.

        I stand by the rest of my comment, though.

          I respect your opinion. Its not that I'm not satisfied with the children I have. I want a daughter ALONG with my sons. I would just be SAD/DISAPPOINTED if I find out I was having a boy.

    What if you have daughter and she's a massive tomboy? You shouldn't pin your dreams on who you hope your children will be.

      Im in a relationship with a woman who is a tomboy, thats fine with me. I still want a daughter and until she is old enough to express herself she will wear girl clothes that I put her in.

    Why can't you appreciate the children you have now? If you get a daughter, not only will your sons feel unloved and pushed aside but, treating anyone like a god is bound to have its shortcomings.

    I wish I could have one child. I'm not only infertile but in debt. You're so lucky and you cry? Wow.

      Both of my children are a blessing WHAT WOMAN DOESNT GET PREGNANT AND WANT A SPECIFIC SEX?! I just want a DAUGHTER!!! Sorry you're infertile if you weren't in debt I'd carry a child for you. But best wishes in the future. And I still want a daughter. If I have 5 more sons I'll STILL try until I get MY daughter!

    My mom was the same. She had two boys and she always felt left out because the boys and dad would always go get their hair cut and stuff and she just wanted a little that she could take shopping and go geto her hair done and I guess just treat her like a baby doll. I mean she got a girl (me) but I preferred to hang out with my brothers and dad when I was young.

      I wouldn't even mind that though long as, as a baby I can dress her as I please. I'm all for my children expressing themselves as they would like as long as its appropriate. But at least someone kind of understands. I appreciate it.

    Two kids are enough. You don't need three.

      You're totally out of line. Dont tell me what I need. Thats not the purpose of my post for you to tell me HOW many I need. So keep your sarcastic comments in your head.

    I would say normal. If I ever became a father, I think I would prefer having a daughter over a son too. Most of my family is full of men; I have a younger brother and only two female cousins who are both older than me. You have no control over what gender your child will be so it basically comes down to fate. I'm not religious but if you really wish for a daughter you will probably be blessed with a little girl. Hope and pray and your dreams will come true.

    "I get on Pinterest and look at little girls"

    "every little girl I see in public I have to stop and look at her and tell whoever she's with how beautiful she is"

    "Little girls I see and speak to won't talk to me my fiance says I scare them with how in awe I am"

    (...............)

    You're a woman so you can get away with much more than a man ever could in this regard, but nonetheless you come off as a little creepy. Please consider revising your behavior.

      I have CHILDREN I would NEVER sexually harm ANY child!! I said I dont want to SOUND creepy you're allowed your opinion but understand Im NO CREEP!! I dont just get on Pinterest to look at the little girls so PLEASE dont read THAT much into what I said. People walk up to MY SONS all the time and say they're handsome, are they all pervs? I love babies and Im just girly and want a daughter. I really dont see how people can read so much into it. I really didnt think of it as such? Im a MOTHER that just wants a daughter.

        RELAX, ma'am; I really do THINK you misunderstand my ASSESSMENT of the SITUATION.

        I wasn't SAYING you're actually a CREEP; I was saying you may indeed come off seeming LIKE one and obviously that's NOT in your BEST interest.

        Do you UNDERSTAND now? Calm your TITS.

          I could give a fuck less about whatever the fuck you're trying to say honestly.

            I'm sorry for trying to help.

            And with an attitude like that, all I can do is hope that your hypothetical daughter doesn't turn out much like you.

    If God eventually blesses you with the little girl you're yearning for please don't play favorites or neglect your boys in favor of the little girl. Treat the children as individuals worthy of love, attention and equality.

      I'd never treat any of my children differently. They love their mother to death. My sons both get my undivided attention and both are loved whole heartedly from my soul. The idea of a sister came from my 4 year old. I just ran with it..I know how to treat my children. That's not the purpose of my post.
