Re: Did you guys catch this?

  • That is a very severe reaction. Sad, too. I mean, some people want to have a baby, any baby, so badly and this woman wants to throw away a perfectly healthy pregnancy because she didn't get the gender she prefered.

  • Yeah, that was C&Ped over the whole bump...I didn't really read it because I think it is MUD.

  • I will be reading this as soon as I'm done with these envelopes. I read to OP. I want to stab her. Repeatedly. Then run her over. Repeatedly.
  • If that is MUD, I think that makes it even worse. That isn't something to joke about.

  • You know, I'm more concerned about the child at this point.  Can you imagine the PPD she's going to have once the "unwanted" is here?  And how she could potentially treat the child its whole life?  Or how it could be pushed to the side once the "wanted" gender is born? 

    Talk about crazy.

    FWIW, I don't think she's wrong for feeling that way - but I do think the severe reaction to the gender reveal means there's some serious mental problems going on there.

  • I seem to remember a movie about a kid who was killing other kids at camp. You thought the kid was a girl, but at the end it was really a boy that the mother had raised a girl. The daughter (I think it was the boy's twin) died as a baby.

     Yeah, I see this happening.

  • I will admit... I would REALLY want a girl and H would REALLY want a boy.  But as a poster brought up on that thread--- you know going into it that you have a 50/50 shot.  And I just can't imagine saying I wish I had never gotten pregnant if I ended up having a boy.  Yes, a twinge of disappointment might happen... where you have to put away all your dreams of that mother/daughter bond.  But then you dust yourself off and think about all the awesome things about having a son.  You don't go on a board and talk about how you wish you had never gotten pregnant in the first place.

    As someone else mentioned--- I too am worried about the OP's potential PPD.  I hope someone watches her closely.

  • I am so excited to have a boy, and I can't even imagine feeling so severely about having the opposite gender that I wouldn't want to be pregnant. If it's not MUD, OP has some serious mental problems and her DH is just feeding them.
