Thank you Jemima. I think alot of people over see just how hard it can be when you have these feelings. Yes, we should be and are grateful to have happy and healthy children, but is it so wrong for wanting atlest one of the other gender ?? I too love all of my boys with all of my heart, there is nothing that I would not do for any of them.

Hopefully they pick out lovely DIL'S for me to enjoy also. I hope to have a fantastic relationship with these girl's too. But a mother daughter relationship is different to that with your DIL I would imagine.

BTW, IKWYM about the engagement ring too. How do you pick whn it come to handing it out to your sons.
