Interesting that the mother’s solution isn’t embrace the kid as he is and have a daughter next time ... just one kid, shape it to fit your desires, no matter how crazy.

Friend of mine had 5 boys and decided to try one more time for a girl..yup...twin boys. Boy, is she blessed. The boys adore her and have a huge support since she lost her husband. We’ve always said that God has a special seat in heaven for her. She’s the most easy going, laid back woman and it wasn’t easy those 7 guys.

I think this potential child abuser should be arrested in advance of her crimes.

How is a man married to this piece of work!
My wife was dissapointed for a short time when we found out we were having a boy, but she got over it quickly.
She certainly didn’t whine like this pathetic female.

Nothing to worry about you fÂ¥cked up idiot. You can always tell him he’s really a girl then take him to a dickchopper and give him hormones. And change his name. He’ll get his picture on a magazine and reap big profits for his family.

Don’t know about that, but we’re sure proud of our three girls.

Not necessarily doomed.

Guy I went to high school with always showed up at dances or mall hangouts or school football games with the hottest dates.

Because his mom had made him take ballet. Once he hit puberty he realized just how much of a target rich environment it was and stayed with it.

Talking to a friend a few weeks ago, I told her yeah, I knew, and yeah, it was a boy, shrug. “I’m sorry,” she said. But as our conversation went on and I described a tiny ballerina I’d seen on the subway, she helped me realize: There’s no reason my son can’t be a tiny ballerina. There's no reason I can't sign him up for a class, even if it is full of little girls. The next day I went out and bought him some useless pink ballet slippers, with bows, in the hopes of having a child who is a better version of me after all.

This poor kid's doomed.

Then they vote for one whose "better version" of America promotes such. Very good article in this issue here: http://www.firstthings.com/article/2004/11/surgical-sex

When the practice of sex-change surgery first emerged back in the early 1970s, I would often remind its advocating psychiatrists that with other patients, alcoholics in particular, they would quote the Serenity Prayer, “God, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Where did they get the idea that our sexual identity (“gender” was the term they preferred) as men or women was in the category of things that could be changed?

Are people aborting boys? Nothing surprises me.

___________________

I don’t think so, most of the women in my feed who have had girls are evangelical and devout Christians and I don’t see them aborting.

This makes me ill. We had no idea before he was born whether the baby was a boy or girl. It didn’t matter to us, and after he was born the most important thing was whether he was healthy and OK.

Apparently it's a real problem there.

Here's a solution: China can import all those Syrian women left behind by their feckless husbands who migrated as "refugees" to Germany to commit rape jihad. The men will have a better chance of finding someone who is grateful for them. And the women will find communism marginally better than islam.

I always thought that Chinese men would go for Russian women since Russian men are the pits.

Where did they get the idea that our sexual identity (“gender” was the term they preferred) as men or women was in the category of things that could be changed?

Identical twin studies found it was less than 10% of identical twins where both boys were homosexual. In over 90% of the cases where one boy was homosexual the other boy was heterosexual. So it appears that the greatest factor in same sex attraction disorder comes from environment.

From this article this mom sure looks like an example of that environmental factor. She makes me sick. She should just be thanking God that it appears she will have a healthy child.
