When I first became pregnant I thought for sure that I was having a boy. I swore up and down that I was carrying a boy. I had always dreamed that when I had a baby it would be a boy. My family even thought I would have a boy.
When I found out I was having a girl, I cried. I didn't want a girl. I told myself for weeks that the ultrasound tech was wrong and that I was having a boy. I don't think anyone ever really asked me why I didn't want a girl. They just accepted that I wanted a boy and that I was adamant that when the baby was born, it was going to have a penis.
I have a friend who also doesn't want to have any girls, she's having 3 boys. She already decided. I asked her why she doesn't want a girl. Her answer: Girls are catty and bitches and she doesn't want her daughter to have to deal with that. My reason: Boys are evil, they break hearts and don't care that they do. They lie and they cheat. I don't want to have to comfort my daughter when some asshole decides that she's not what he wants and breaks her heart. I was reading "Are You There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea" and she stated something about not wanting a daughter either. I don't remember her reasoning now but I was just like "Wow, a lot of women feel this way." It's not that we wouldn't love her if we had her. It's just that we are loving her before she even exist and are trying to prevent her any pain.
I think we feel the way we do because we have had those things happen to us. My friend had to deal with drama filled girls that were bitchy and catty to her. I had to deal with asshole boys that broke my heart, over and over again. I'm sure that Chelsea Handler had to deal with whatever reason was.
I can't say that if I had had a son that he would never be heartbroken, or that he would never have any drama. I just feel like boys deal with it better. If they are mad at each other, they get in a fight and then drink some beer. If they get their heartbroken they just find someone new. Girls spread rumors and lie when they get mad at each other. Hell, they probably even steal your boyfriend. Then it's double heartbreak.
I did have a girl, there was no penis attached at birth. I love her more than anything. After carrying her and having her and now that she's here, I couldn't see myself with a little boy. I know everything happens for a reason, and there is a reason God gave me a little girl. For now I'm going to love her and hold her and worry about boys later. I'll probably be worse than her dad when it comes time for her to date. He says he'll have a shot gun, I'll just have my hand and bust his balls if he hurts my little girl.
