I can't believe you said that!

I’m having lunch with a friend of mine and she tells she’s pregnant again. I congratulate her and ask her if she wants a boy or girl. She has a 2-yr-old boy already (which she has spolied well beyond rotten, will definitely be trouble later on). She tells me she wants another boy (and she will, I recently found out). When I ask her why she doesn’t want a girl, she says that she doesn’t want to be stuck in the house playing tea party and dressing up in “girly” clothes!!!

Some background: she was always an avid tennis player and likes the outdoors. Her husband is a bit on the overly-macho side (drives a truck, used to drive a Corvette, is physically active, obsessive about his hair (which he’s losing), into guns, and so forth).

I asked her why couldn’t she play with the girl outside? She did it as child. She thinks if she gets the girl interested in sports, she’ll “trun into” a lesbian!! I said, “you’re not a lesbian, are you?” She laughed and said “ewwww, no!”. So, I said, “There you go”. She had no comment.

I then asked her, "What if you’re sons turn out to be gay? (IMHO, you are born homosexual). She had no comment.

Now, this woman is not stupid, but I think her common sense is definitely lacking. (Also, IMHO, common sense is much more important than intelligence in most cases).

Opinions? Comments?

Moderator: this might belong in the BBQ Pit, I wasn’t sure.

I have a friend who has an 8 year old daughter. The little girl is spoiled rotten! One day we asked Jennifer if she was gonna have anymore kids and she said that she didn’t want anymore because she couldn’t imagine loving another child as much as she loves Katlynne!! WTF! She also said that she was afraid that if they had a boy that her husband would spend all of their time with the boy and not as much time with Katlynne.

IMO, if this is the way she thinks and feels, she shouldn’t have anymore kids. And I think the same goes for your friend. Think about it… if she has a girl that poor child is going to be sooooo neglected! It’s better that she has a boy so as not to inflict that kind of misery on a child!

Rachelle: Hello! That’s why she’s not GOING to have any more kids, like she said.
