Get Off My Case About Being A BoyMom
When I was a little girl, fantasizing about my adult life, it always included daughters. Never sons.to having sons – I was just so sure I’d have daughters instead. And that expectation carried over to adulthood and into my first pregnancy.
You might think that because of this, my childhood dreams of tea parties and tutus were dashed to bits against a wall of boogers and bugs. Because that’s what everybody else seems to think. It was inevitably followed by a reassuring pat on the shoulder, and the phrase I could go the rest of my life without hearing, but hear: “Well, maybe next time you’ll get your girl. You are going to try again, aren’t you?”It’s because trying again sounds like we got it wrong the first four times.
How must it make them feel to hear that? Do they sense people’s pity that I have all these “icky” boys and not a single princess in the house? Because it’s palpable.
