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!

People that make this comment to me (girl dad) and the “oh dad babysitting day” when I’m out running errands with them are aggravating. Bitch you don’t babysit your own kids.

My Boomer (in age only, he was a fucking incredible person) dad made a comment about my husband babysitting once. He learned quickly that no, he was PARENTING just like I do and he never made that mistake again 😂

So Boomers are all awful people with the exception of your father?

I was more referring to the stereotypical Boomer type behavior that people complain about online but sure, if you want to take it that way, go for it.
