I know many fathers that are like this (including mine and my dh)....they love their girls but are dying for a son...very normal! |
Sorry. I don't think that's normal at all. B"H my husband loves my girls & my boy & appreciates them for what they are. I have never once heard him say that he preferred something else. He was completely in love from the second they were born.

This is a very typical response actually. I can't even count the times I've heard something along these lines of "well you'll have a boy eventually" or "it's ok, girls are ok too" or "so, are you going to keep trying for the boy?" Of course I do have six girls bayh" but DH and I were both thrilled about that!

 never heard that one before! |
My dm's version: When G-d asked 'Who wants brains?', you thought He said pains, you said you didn't want any... |
are these from the same poem as 'when G-d gave out noses you thought he said roses, and asked for a big red one'?

When God gave out brains
I thought he said trains
And I missed mine.
When God gave out looks
I thought he said books
and I didn't want any.
When God gave out noses
I thought he said roses
And I asked for a red one.
When God gave out legs
I thought he said cakes
And I asked for two round ones.
When God gave out chins
I thought he said gins
And I ordered a double.
When God gave out heads
I thought he said beds
And I asked for a soft one.
Since then I've been trying to
Listen Better Now.

| I have 3 boys, and I must say that by the 2 younger ones I wished I was having a girl, and the nurses asked me each time if I wanted to know what I was having. I always said no because I knew that if I knew it was a boy I'd be disappointed, but at the time I actually had the baby I was so happy that I had the boy. I love all 3 boys with all my heart and would never want to change them for anything, but that doesnt change the fact the I hope the next time I have a girl (if I have a boy, I'm not giving him up).
