I was the disappointing second daughter not the son my father wanted so when it came time for me to have the kids I didn't want to put expectations on them. As it turns out I have a son and two daughters. One son is a snag and one daughter is a kick-arse woman of the new millenium and the other daughter tells me she never wants to grow out of vegemitevixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499944412217904302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900246097326241068.post-41857924111167786222010-05-14T01:33:19.090+04:002010-05-14T01:33:19.090+04:00The only perfect family is one where everyone is l...The only perfect family is one where everyone is loved and embraced for who the y are and not who they might have been.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989987077918905692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900246097326241068.post-2291768624127466182010-05-14T00:29:27.913+04:002010-05-14T00:29:27.913+04:00I grew up with twin brothers and I now have a son ...I grew up with twin brothers and I now have a son and two daughters. I am not a girly girl and neither are my daughters. All my kids get along well and enjoy sport, playing outside etc as well as more craft orientated activities (they are 9, 6 and 3) I am pleased to have kids of both sexes but it wasn't particularly important to me. I had my son first and was just thrilled to be a mum, theJuicytotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016646925522387582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900246097326241068.post-64994435080819866302010-05-14T00:16:20.438+04:002010-05-14T00:16:20.438+04:00I love football and anything outdoors, the kids pl...I love football and anything outdoors, the kids play nearly every night of the week.

I got all the comments you did "oh never mind, are you very disappointed" and they wouldn't believe me when i said no.<br />I read somewhere (from anther blogger i wish i could remember who it was) that you get what you need. I like that.

Niaively, I never even knew that this could even exist!? <br />I could never imagine ever having a preference for a girl or a boy, let alone be disappointed with my own children.
