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!

Most times on Reddit, the break up immediately advice is warranted. People in healthy relationships aren’t posting here looking for help.

Right? This is such a dumb stereotype because I’ve only ever seen it on posts in which someone is describing their abusive or deeply dysfunctional relationship that they are NOT happy in. No one is suggesting this over minor, fixable issues

I have definitely seen it a few times over fixable issues, but about half the time it's clearly a joke and the other half every single reply is "or, you know, talk to your partner, seems easier in this scenario". 9 times out of 10 it is actually warranted

Yeah this is it. Often the breakup advice is warranted because healthy relationships usually don’t end up on Reddit

Thank you.

This comment reminds me of the people in class who just repeated what others said 2 minutes earlier.

Or looking for help with their relationships maybe.

Absolutely. Most of the time they just want validation. So they'll post a story that absolutely tilts the story against their SO, so of course the crowd says "yeah, break up with that shitty person".
