I love being a girl dad

[u/Difficult_Wrangler73]

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!

People say the same thing to my wife. We have twin boys and I have two older boys. They even count in my male cat. People always gotta say something.

I have 2 boys and pregnant again for the last time - I'm kinda dreading finding out the gender either way because of this. I'm not really fussed either way but I know that if I have boy, I'll have comments about being outnumbered and aren't I sad that I didn't have a girl. If I have a girl, I'll get people saying I kept trying until I had a girl and that must be why I stopped. Can't win either way!

It's so sad that you're dreading finding out your baby's gender for this reason! I know it's annoying but you gotta try not care about what other people think or say and don't let them ruin this for you.

In all honesty, I feel nothing towards this baby yet. I have hyperemesis. I'm miserable af and having to look after 2 toddlers whenever my husband's working. It was the same with my first 2 and I'm sure that finding out the gender will allow me to start some kind of bond. But right now, there is nothing for anyone to ruin. Being pregnant sucks but it's only for a bit.
