Queen for a Day

Jan. 17, 2006

I love my BOYS!

A little bit ago, I went to vent about that fact that perfect strangers will come up to me and appologize that I have three boys and no girls.  It really frustrated me one day and I had to restrain myself from blowing up at one woman one day.

 

Looking back at it, I have learned to be sad for these people.  I never complain about my guys.  They are great!  They are children, hence the do childish things, but the are good boys.  They are honest, loving, sweet children.  It is a shame that people can't love a child for who they are but only for what sex they are.  Furthermore, to go up to someone you don't know and make comments like that.  I geuss some people have to see things negatively.

 

As for me, I am thankful for the boys God has blessed me with.  Maybe I'll be blessed with more someday, who knows.

Jan. 18, 2006 - God decides what our children are.

Posted by jewls2texas
I had a lady at the pediatrician's office make the incorrect assumption that I wanted a boy because Kendra was a girl, and I was expecting. It was a strange thing to explain, but because my sister and I were ten years apart in age, and had different moms so we lived apart most of our growing up years, I wanted my daughter to have a sister. When I was expecting Kullen I really wanted a boy, but not because I felt slighted in having two girls - I had a friend who had a little boy that I just adored - and I wanted the mother/son relationship thing. God knows what He has planned for every family. I always feel sad for large families that I can see have six or seven kids - all of the same sex. How does it feel be girl #6 knowing that if #5 had been a boy- you wouldn't exist?
Anyway - thanks for sharing your thoughts!

People always would ask if we were "trying" for a boy. I really just wanted four kids. When I was pregnant with Ricky, before I knew he was a boy, I thought I was going to have 4 girls and we would be like the family in Little Women, and I was thrilled. And I was just as thrilled to have Ricky. But I hate the assumption that we kept having children until we got a boy - it isn't true at all. It just worked out that God saved him for last!

I have three boys and folks do that to me all the time!! come up to me in the store and comment with their pity about my having all boys!! And it is usually in front of them too!! What nerve dome folks have!! It amazes me and frustrates me. I too have a difficult time holding my tongue during such encounters. My boys are loyal, sweet, honest, a little crazy at times (but who isn't). They are devoted to eachother and to me! They love their mama!! What can I say, I love my guys!!!!

AMEN! What a wonderful post! People who say such things, don't understand much, as far as I'm concerned... People were the same way with me after I'd had two boys (along with a step-son) and was pregnant again. They said, so ya trying for a girl this time? How rude... I was even more scared, cuz I had felt like I was having a girl, but didn't want to tell anyone cuz I thought they'd say things like, "Oh... and she was hoping for a girl" if I would've had a boy... After my second boy came out not breathing, I remember thinking... I'd take a dozen healthy boys over a girl any day.

Blessings,
Amy

I had three boys, too, before having three girls. "Wow, how'd you plan that?" Duh! I wouldn't trade any of my children, really, but if I could have planned it myself, I would have had an even number of each "kind" since with three there's always one who gets left out or picked on.
I'm now expecting another boy with my new, most wonderful husband. Since between the two of us, we "only" have four boys, and the youngest is 9 (the others are 10,12, and 14), we're thrilled, although we'd be just as happy to add another girl to the group (they are 4,5,6,7,8,11,14,and 18!) No, unfortunately only my children reside with us at this time, but we're working on that!
