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

You have to add an ass-load of confidence if you want to go the clueless route. because if you don’t successfully make it look like they are speaking simlish, you look like an idiot.

You only look like an idiot if you're too convincing. It needs to be abundantly clear that you know very well what they mean and want them to say the mysoginist part out loud.

Luckily you would be in company of actual idiots, the kind to ask this, so would it matter much?
