That’s why I hate the question “do you want a boy or girl?” - it’s as if there’s any choice in the matter, and sets the parents up for disappointment, creating a choosable vision with a 50/50 chance of failing to meet it. At the time, I adamantly & consistently responded “human.”
I have both. They’re both wonderful. I’m not disappointed, because (in light of this thread) I did not speculate about what I “wanted”. I got whichever I got, and had no delusions otherwise.
I have 2 sons and a daughter and never really gave thought to which gender I wanted. We have 4 grandsons and 3 granddaughters and if they all been one sex I wouldn’t care.
My answer: Yes.
I have twin daughters and one stepson. All are as important to me as anyone.

I have one of each, both of which I was quite sure of the gender well before any confirmation. The whole time it didn’t matter to me either way, I just had a very strong sense and happened to be correct both times.
