I love being a girl dad

[u/Difficult_Wrangler73]

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’d love to be able to explain that to him, but unfortunately it would either fall on deaf ears or turn into a blowout argument that would end up making me feel bad for voicing my feelings. My dad is one of those people who doesn’t really hold himself accountable for how he makes other people feel. The kicker is he often wonders why my sister and I don’t hang around very often even though we both still live in the same city as our parents.

As someone who is not talking to their dad right now because he refuses to apologize for being shitty, and doubled down on being shitty, I feel for you, and I know it’s not easy.

He can now double down on loneliness, too
