When family members have GD

[Dana-Alicia]

it does make a lovely memory, not easy to forget the shiny green ribbon all over the house lol. By the time my husband got home I had cleaned it all up and he was like: wow you look tired, rough day? Naaah

That's great kitkat, grandparents are the best! My parents think it's way more fun to be a grandparent than a parent. Not the hard work, just the fun. Little do they know I am going to ask them to watch my kids for a weekend soon, so DH and I can have some alone time

I am laughing so hard right now. LOVED your posts, you made my day!

I can't stop laughing! Your boys sound delightful! I have two as well, and they are the light of my life .

Always happy to make others laugh at my misery It didn't end though. My youngest just puked all over the bunkbed, top to bottom. I cleaned him and it all up and now he's asleep on the couch. And I havent dressed him yet. What to do, what to do? I think I'm going to postpone it and then regret it later as he'll pee all over the couch. Tea and biscuits anyone?

My mother has GD. She loves my boys & is excited about my 3rd son due in 7 weeks but she is terribly jealous of her sister who has a granddaughter AND a grandson. I didn't let on I wanted a daughter & was fiercely protective of my son in utero, sprouting excitement & feigning that I had no GD of my own. I will not allow her to ever know I was disappointed. I don't want her to feel that we are somehow united in "grief". My GD has faded to all but the vaguest wistfulness & she will never know it was there at all.

Thats rough primalmama, to have to deal with her GD when you already suffer from it yourself. I understand grandparents having GD but they shouldn't burdon they're kids with it. I do hope you get your daughter one day, but for now I know you'll enjoy your three boys to the fullest <3

Primal my mum had TERRIBLE GD with my DS1 and DS2 which really did not help mine, she even told me with DS2 I should have ' tried for a girl' ( which of course was what I was beating myself up for but it did not help to hear it repeated!) This time round she made a super big effort to conceal her GD referring to the scan picture at 13weeks as 'him' and not even asking me if we were finding out so I feel she turned a corner too.
Its a big reminder to us to stay as neutral if we can when we become grandparents, although we will all probably be over sensitive to the whole situation X

My mil had 3 sons and told me once (rare personal conversation!) that she was convinced #3 was a girl and had she not had severe complications during his birth they would have tried again. You would think she would have understood me, but alas, that was not to be ... She was insensitive and made me feel bad for wanting a girl on many occasions
