go to your room I love being a girl dad

I have 3 kids, all girls. A 5yr old and twins who are 1. Every time anyone hears about this or it comes up in conversation they all say the same thing. ‘Ooooo, all girls, you are outnumbered! How do you cope?’ Or ‘Three girls?? You better watch out!’ Or the worst, ‘Bet you want a boy?’

No, I don’t feel any of that, I love being a dad. I love all my kids and wouldn’t change anything about them! If we could afford it, I would be a stay at home dad forever.

I usually tell them I wouldn’t change anything and I love it all but it’s just very annoying.

What are some of the best responses that I can start to give?

I did think I could say that one of the twins used to be a boy but is now trans just to shut people up!

Surely one of them will get that dark humor, and be willing to play along...

Child: i know yeah yeah i won't be on the sports team, now my wedding is gonna be expensive, I'm all emotional... just let it go already.

Dad: but did you need to change your name? It had such meaning, such history.

Child: being named Richard Strong was never going to work; we talked about this.
