My mother was a good person, pushed out three males between 1958 qnd 1962, in 4 years, but she always wanted a female progeny..
Well I came by in the mid60 60's and had a penis and testicles, and I think she was disappointed, luckily she did not mutilate me, as the "doctors" would today.
God bless her, hands in prayer for her catholic soul.
My mother wanted a daughter as well and let me know how much she resented me (being male) my whole life.
Wasn't she able to grasp the fact that you had no choice in the matter?
You should have always responded with, "Yeah - And I resent the fact that you weren't born a giraffe!"
Regards,
not uncommon
As a father of both types, I can appreciate most any argument concerning preference... lol
“had a penis and testicles”
Thanks for not posting a pictorial representation thereof.
I know someone who treated a baby boy like a girl…until she had a girl.
Odd thing, that.
The Who did a song “I’m a Boy” in 1967 about a mother trying to regender a child. It’s more relevant today than ever...

One girl was called Jean-Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally-Joy
The other was me, and I’m a boy
My name is Bill and I’m a headcase
They practice making-up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But if I say I am I get it
Put your frock on, Jean-Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally-Joy
Put this wig on, little Boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But if I say I am I get it
I wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the stream
Cut myself and see my blood
I wanna come home all covered in mud
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
That song, and the Loretta scene from Monty Python’s Life of Brian, are amazingly relevant today.
Where is the tranifesto?
That’s a good one.
I, too, always wanted a daughter. So far, no grandkids. Oy vey.
That’s sad.
My dead mother-in-law had 3 sons. She desperately wanted a daughter. She was a controlling, angry, mean, old-country Italian. She loved telling the story of when her 3rd son was born, she was so angry she wouldn’t look at him for days. Someone else had to care for him. She said the doctor had told her this time it was a girl, so it made her even angrier than normal. She finally started to take care of him after being pushed to accept him. She would tell this story in the presence of all three boys.
Needless to say, they are all angry momma’s boys. Sometimes parents are so damned stupid. I always figured God was sparing some poor girl from being her daughter - nasty woman. Ruined numerous lives with her sh!t disturbing.
I hope she eventually got a granddaughter from one of her sons and daughter in laws.
I wanted sons, got two daughters. Couldn’t be happier and now have 3 grandsons and a granddaughter... Worked out great!!
My father wanted a boy but got me.
I gave him four grandsons so it all worked out in the end.
I would have liked to have had one girl. Now I have five granddaughters.
Then five more girls and one more boy - and adopted another boy.
We were crowded, hungry, and each one of us grew up thinking that we didn't get enough attention.
Still, it sure was interesting.
We had a local family that had 11 boys. When a girl was finally born, the father accused the mother of adultery.
My grandmother was one of 13 girls in the family.
One boy was born, but he died a week later.
Some people say he committed suicide.
