I always said that once I had a girl, I was done. Only 1 daughter for me, whether she be first, second, third, or fourth.<br />It turns out, she was my 3rd, and my last!<br />All these past 10 years, I still wished tho, that I'd had 3 boys first, then her. And lo and behold, if God didn't know exactly what He was doing, b/c the man I just married has a boy....older than my oldest! So now, I have that 3 boys/then a girl combination I always wanted!<br />Everything for a reason sweetie....I truly believe that!Bits-n-Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867627128328453440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637218319473527319.post-41349313218830537772010-06-17T15:40:54.797-04:002010-06-17T15:40:54.797-04:00As a mother of 3 boys and PROUD of it, I think 4 b...As a mother of 3 boys and PROUD of it, I think 4 boys would be awesome. We are thinking of adopting our 4th, and given the choice we would choose another boy over a girl.<br />Some people need to learn how to keep their opinions and thoughts to themselves and think about what their words do to others.<br />You are a fantastic mother and it takes a very special woman to be the mother of all boys. You are right when you say that there is a "club".The Monier Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039982413862604432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637218319473527319.post-63917851805438556272010-06-17T04:42:23.908-04:002010-06-17T04:42:23.908-04:00Wow, thanks for sharing and being so honest about ...Wow, thanks for sharing and being so honest about your feelings.<br /><br />It's horrible what your Mom said but I'm so happy to hear that you love all 3 of your boys so very much!Nati @ I will praise Himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462464244519139581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637218319473527319.post-2538039305782018672010-06-17T00:27:51.674-04:002010-06-17T00:27:51.674-04:00I still think about your mom's reaction to you...I still think about your mom's reaction to your son and your sister's daughter. That just breaks my heart, even hearing it now, three years later. I'm so sorry, that's a horrible thing to say.<br /><br />I can't believe people even think it's any of their business to comment or ask questions about you having three boys. That's silly. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm not a mom myself, but it has never once occurred to me to even so much as <i>think</i> something like that, much less say it out loud. How crazy that people sit there and analyze your child situation! Idiots! I'm sure it's not always meant to be harmful, but it would be hard not to take it as such.<br /><br />Anyway, Kel is number four of four boys and his mom said she used to always want a girl, but she had four healthy, happy sons, and she wouldn't want it any other way!Valerie!http://www.kelandval.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637218319473527319.post-28397785212964177332010-06-16T22:34:27.692-04:002010-06-16T22:34:27.692-04:00Oh girl- for a lot of this, you took the words rig...Oh girl- for a lot of this, you took the words right out of my mouth. I don't know how many times I've said that being a mom to boys is like its own crazy club. <br /><br />I have three boys. And we are done. It's amazing the comments that I've gotten, like "If you KNEW you'd have a girl, you'd have another one." And the looks of pity. It's so irritating. I LOVE my boys. <br /><br />I did have a little pity party for myself at never having any cute little ballerinas and girly stuff in my house, but that's completely different from wishing I could trade one of my boys for a girl- which is what most people don't understand. <br /><br />Thanks so much for linking up! From one mama of 3 boys to another- I totally get it!Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.com
