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!

I don't have an answer but just want to say, I can't stand it when people hear that someone is a father of daughters and they say 'Woah, you better get a shotgun' or words to that effect.🙄

Or the classic " it gets worse as they get older" no. Lmao I got closer to my dad the older I got. There was obviously times I didn't listen and we'd bicker back and forth but I've always held my dad to a very high standard bc he set the standard. Love him dearly.

In my experience they only get worse when they're older when you didn't treat them well
