Ive got two boys and Ive heard pretty much all of them. When I was in hospital and in earlish labour with DS2, the nurse asked me if I knew the sex. Once I said its another boy she said 'well maybe next time'. That was the first comment I got about having another boy. To be honest I wanted him to be a girl so it did sting a bit. But now I just laugh when I get these comments. I think it only upsets you if its something you are sensitive about. If not then you can have a bit of fun with it.

TBH I think its very rude for anyone to make potentially hurtful comments about a persons family make up. Whats wrong with two of the same anyway? My boys are best friends and having them the same gender has been great. I imagine it would be the same with two girls.

BTW, we told everyone before DS2 was born that he was a boy and it was the best decision for us. It was once he was born that we got the dumb comments, mainly by strangers who saw the blue baby in the pram. Everyone else thought it was great that DS1 was getting a brother.
