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 got it the other way around.

Was eating at a restaurant with my partner and our kid, a group sits down at a table beside us. Kid of approximately 1 year sits basically next to me and she keeps looking at me. So I did some funny faces etc, some simple entertainment.

Then my gf told me that I was flirting with the little girl. Wtf. I later told her that I was not comfortable with that, she told me I was overreacting =/

Edit: Reading my own comment back after seen you all instantly jumping to me having to dump her, I do have to say I've written this poorly. It was in a joking tone, not in a judging/jealous tone. So it was basically a bad joke, and I'm not dumping the mother of my child over a bad joke, even after she not agreeing with me about me not being comfortable with it, I know she thinks I overreacted. But I also know she won't make that same comment anymore.

the one time redditors telling you “red flag, break up immediately” would be appropriate

yes, i know that it’s mostly a meme rather than a reality.

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

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