    This is the kind of can-do spirit I like to see in a kid. Hopefully one of his future accomplishments will be teaching his mom how to spell.

    Sometimes I think I might like to try for a girl. Then I look at my son's best friend who is female (and a big tomboy) and realize that even if I manage to line two X chromosomes up, I might still never have any pink dresses! #genderdisappointment

    personally i think this goes back to the whole "this isn't how i pictured my life to be" complaint. if you have your heart set on a boy and a girl or whatever, well good for you, but real life happens when you're making other plans, and 'real life' is a lot more than pink hats and cute baby sundresses in the store window. #genderdisappointment

    They took nutrition info off baby food b/c they didn't want parents putting their under three year olds on a low fat diet, so I guess babyrexia is a valid concern. Some kids are real little pumpkins (read:baby eats tokyo) but they grow out of it; isn't it really bad to put your infant on a diet, like it kills brain cells or something?

    I'm disappointed my brother's first kid is a boy. Boys are just ... there. They don't talk as much, you can't connect with them as quickly or as deeply as you can with girls. Really, I never met a little boy I could have a conversation with, or even a teenage boy who actually looked at people when he was talking to them. Girls are just more ... evolved. Emotionally. I feel like I got the discount version. #genderdisappointment

    I thought I might be disappointed to find out my second (currently in utero) was a boy just like my first, but I wasn't. I'm good with it. The only problem is we had a name for a girl (leftover from first child) and we still haven't figured it out for a boy. Though Boy 1 has suggested Popcorn or Eagle. #genderdisappointment

    @redqueenmeg: Throw away your leftover girl name.

    Trust me, as a daughter who got stuck with the leftover name, I still slightly resent the fact that my parents were too lazy (or possibly to attached to the 1st one) to come up with another name. My mom was so set on having a girl, she never thought to think of any boys names for my older brother- and it showed. #genderdisappointment

    @redqueenmeg: I had some great suggestions for my parents. Namely, if it was a girl, name her Pocahontas, and if it was a boy, name him John Smith. I don't know why they named him Zachary, my suggestions were WAY better. #genderdisappointment

    @redqueenmeg: My 3 y. old girl is very excited about the upcoming baby brother. I'm still coming to terms with it - not used to boys, don;t know what to do with them... had so many beautiful girl names in mind, no boy names. My daughter has already named him - "Miriam"... #genderdisappointment

    @goToAndSay: We might--but it's a family name we're kind of attached to. Still, ever since I was little, I've always felt I'd have all boys, so it's probably moot.

    NO. One of the main reasons I don't want to have a child is fear of having a boy. I'm not even kidding. It lets me know I'm not unselfish enough for motherhood. I will stick with cats, which I can select and thereby maintain my majority female household. #genderdisappointment

    @JerseyGrrrl: Ha. I'm afraid of having a boy because I grew up in an all female household. My dad was generally absent and we had one male feline, one male dog. I still prefer female animals. At the same time I want a boy so I can make sure to raise him to be a decent human being and such. #genderdisappointment
