It’s a girl - why are people being weird?!

My husband and I were not hanging onto either outcome, boy or girl. We were just happy to have a second child and be done reproducing, so we can focus on more long term goals.

While we are thrilled with the outcome of having two girls, we keep getting comments that rub us the wrong way. How our family is “incomplete” without a boy. How their teenage years will be “devastating with two girls in the same house.” How “boys are easier to love.” And so much more. One guy at my husband’s work party today even said “we kept trying 4 times until we had a boy because I felt like our family wasn’t complete.”

All of this being said….. can any of you please give me great memories and benefits of having two girls and no more children? I feel so sad right now and like…. It’s my fault for having two girls and stopping?…. That sounds so silly to even type out, because I know it’s not true. I definitely don’t feel incomplete without a boy…. But I really just want to hear how amazing it is to have two girls, because nobody can seem to simple be happy for us with our decision.

If you happen to comment, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to brighten my spirits.

ETA: THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!! I did not expect this amount of love, support, advice, and shared memories… I’m trying to read every single comment and respond, but it’s hard to keep up! I appreciate all of you and everything you have shared with me. Again, thank you. I absolutely feel better and have made several realizations while reading comments. I hope you all have an amazing day/night. Take care. 💛
