When I was pregnant w/DD I was so thrilled when we found out she was going to be a girl. I just couldn't feature myself the mother of a boy. When I was pregnant 5 years later w/DS, I just wanted a healthy baby. We found out his gender shortly before he was born, and over time I found that what a friend had told me was true: Boys are yummy! Very grateful for both.

I have a 3-year-old girl and am pregnant with a boy. I am TERRIFIED, and I think even my husband is a little nervous. I don't know the first thing about boys.

I am very grateful for having boys, although I once longed for a girl. Working with Middle School kids has helped me understand that I was meant to be a mom of boys. I just seem to be able to tolerate boy drama better than girl drama.

But I hope my kiddos don't stop communicating with me. I love the way you handled this and I'm glad I get to watch you negotiate the path of

OY! Heaven HELP ME! I have one of each. Yes, the drama is tiring. The boy is young, but details are few and far between. The problem I see? I am an NOT PATIENT. Great, just flippin' great! Awesome post.

I understand this post so well - I have three boys and yes they are a strange breed, but I too couldn't cope with the drama, histrionics and bitching.

Although when they start bringing home cars and motorbikes and doing crazy stupid boy things I sometimes long for ballet slippers and dolls :-)

Girls can be like this too, but are into more drama than I like. It's exhausting! They pick their moments to share and it's usually at the least convenient time. (midnight?)

I am the mother of three boys. The not-talking thing drives me crazy! Thanks for the reminder to exercise patience and discreetness. That works a lot better!
