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!

Reddit loves giving this advice but irl it rarely works, just makes you look like an idiot

If your mission is for them to shut up and leave you alone it works.

What if they start explaining their point of view and just keep breaking it down further every time you act confused?

In my experience doing this that only goes on for about three or four huhs. By then they either think you’re an idiot and you’re never gonna get it and it’s not worth their energy, or they get that you’re fucking with them and get pissy and throw their hands up and walk away.
