In other words, no matter what, you're screwed.

But to be fair, there are plenty of people who do keep trying in hopes of having at least one of each. And in many ways parenting a boy is a very different experience from parenting a girl, and not because one sex is better than the other.

She just had her second son. One of my close friends biggest peeve was after she had her second child, people assumed that she and her husband were done having kids because now they had one of each.

After I had my second son people kept asking me when we were going to try for a girl (and most of them knew I had almost died after giving birth to him). I just told them, "Nah, I got fixed... like the cat." That tended to shut them up. Oh my goodness.

I get asked if I want a girl all the time. I think after three boys my brain is so fried that if we do decide to add to the family I would actually prefer another boy since we already have all the stuff already. Yeah it is rather annoying.
