Is it wrong for me to want a daughter?

No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you wanting to have another child. When it came to my husband and myself, we knew that we wanted at least one boy and one girl. Well, we got our girl to start with and just after she turned three years old I learned that I was expecting our second child. It turned out that our second child was a boy so we were done at that point. However, if Paul had been a girl then we were going to have one more child to try for a boy.

Try telling them that your kids make you SO happy that you want to have another. You are so greatful to have happy, healthy kids, that you feel you should have more. And you know what? If you truly do have happy healthy kids, you must be good parents. So I would like you to have more kids because there are too many miserable, unwanted, and unloved kids in this world. If more people who didn't want kids (or didn't bother to find out what they were getting into before getting pregnant) DIDN'T have kids, and more people like you and your husband (who are obviously putting a lot of thought into making sure you can handle kids before having them) had MORE kids, the world would be a happier, more functional place.

I don't think you're wrong for wanting another child.... as long as they are healthy, happy, emotionally stable and you two can afford to give them food and shelter. no , I don't see any problem. It didn't ever matter to me whether I had a girl or a boy, as long as they were healthy and happy. it's no one else's business.

I don't think anybody has any right to tell how many kids you should have. As long as you can provide for them, it is totally up to your own to decide. I think you should have a girl. I also have 2 boys, and even before my first son was born, I always thought that I'd have a daughter. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my two boys. I just thought I would have somebody sweet beside me even when she's grown up.

Of course it is not wrong. We all have our right to have how many kids we want to have as long as we can afford it. I tell you a story about one of my friend. At first he and his wife plan to have only 2 kids and they have it and feel happy. Then when the two have all grown up become a teenager, they miss of having a small kids at home so they have another 2. Now they second batches already grown up and the first batches are a full adult and one have married and become a mother, my friend and his wife miss of having a small kids again. and so they have another two kids and the youngest is even younger than his own grandson. And now my friend in his 50's. So the morale of the story here is, never let people decide when you should have kids, and no matter what people said it always us who decide when we want it and how many we like to have. If you feel you want another child in the future and it is good for you. You should have it and of course when we already have a son we usually want a daughter. And I hope you you will get a daughter soon.

Well, since you are financially stable and you are capable and responsible in handling your children, you are certainly not wrong in wanting another child. in fact, what you thought, in my opinion is good, that you wait for several years before you make another one. Yes, they're right that you need to be happy that you have 2 happy and healthy kids (congratulations :D), but they cannot control you in wanting a daughter. It's your family, not theirs, and I think that if that is what you really want, then we just hope for the best for you and your family. May you bear a healthy and beautiful daughter in the future. :)

No, no definitely not...its your family and your personal decision. However, I know that people just love talking and deciding on behalf of others...we all are guilty of the same, we just pass on our comments and opinions casually and expect to be taken seriously. I’m sure it’s the same with you...people who are advising you against any further child, are probably doing it just for the sake of idle gossip.

Hi Jessiicali, I donot know which country are you from but in India since we are so highly over populated we donot encourage people to have more than two children. Wanting a daughter is as good or bad as wanting a son. Unfortunately it is not in your or anyone's hand what you would get. But still best of luck and may god grant you a daughter next time.

No it isn't wrong to want a baby as long as you are able and can give the love and care that they need. Besides, every child is a blessing. I also wanted to have a baby girl for the same reasons that you stated. In fact, I want my first born to be a girl, so even if I didn't know the gender of my baby, I already call the baby by a girl's name. Well, I had a baby boy for my first born, still I love him dearly. We are trying to get pregnant this year. But whatever God will give us, we are more than thankful. It doesn't matter what the gender will be as long as the baby is healthy.

I think that the same is true the other way as well. My cousins always said that they were going to have 3 kids. Well, after 3 girls, they decided that they were going to try one more time for a boy. My cousin Ted really wanted a little boy, eventhough their oldest was a tomboy in the making of her own choosing. I do not think it is wrong to want a little girl after raising two boys.

It's okay for wanting another child. Now I have my one and only four-year old son, friends says its time for us to have another child. For financial reasons, we decided not now, because its really hard! If its really for you to have another child and a girl, it will be given to you. Sometimes its not planned but it will just come on the right time ;) I hope you will have what your heart desires ;)

You have all the right to want for a daughter. Other people can't tell you it is not good to have another child in the family. As long as you can afford, and I think you really can, then why not. You are indeed planning your family well because you think of the welfare of your family and your babies need.

It is noone's business. I wanted a girl too . I have two boys. I never had the daughter. I was happy with my two boys but I wanted to have a daughter.I can't have anymore kids now but since I can't have anymore kids and didn't have a girl now I have grand-daughters from my step-son they are so beautiful.

Hi! I think that the choice and the decision lies on you and your husband. After all, it's your family's concern and not other people's. I don't see anything wrong in wanting to have one more child as long as the parents are capable of raising the child well and providing all his/her needs in all aspects (emotional, educational, financial, etc). I just wanna raise a question because you mentioned that you want to have a daughter. What if you got the change to get pregnant again and it turned out that the baby were a boy and not a girl? =)

i guess this is natural for every mother, that when they have sons already they ar wishing to have a daugther, and this is also natural for fathers who has daugthers and longing to have a son. my brother has two sons too, and his wife wanted to get pregnant again but only if it is a girl. which is hard to do, i mean make sure that it is a girl. i on the other hand, a father of a 5 year old boy and i also wanted to have a daugther. i am so happy with my son there is no doubt about that and thank the Lord for him being healthy so i dont think there is something wrong for having another one. people wont understand you unless they are in your shoes.

Some people has nothing better to say. They think that what they thought is best is best for everybody. You have every right to have another if you want to and if God is willing . ou know your capabilities and abilities to raise how many kids, giving them all the good/comfortable life they deserve. Besides, you have plans. It is not like you're just going into it without having to consider some factors. Your kids will be happy to have a sister.Once you are ready, go for it. You know better than those who are trying to tell they do. Goodluck.

There's nothing wrong with you wanting to have a daughter or a third child. I think you and your husband has a good family planning and yes you are paying for all your kids, so other people don't have the right to impose on you how many children you should have. In my case I want to have more children if I can be an effective parent, not only providing them with food and clothing but also giving them emotional support. If I can be that kind of mother then i want to have more children. I have a son and he's already 6 years old but i am planning to have a daughter and hopefully soon. I prefer to have a daughter with the same reason that you have and there's nothing wrong with that at all!

You and your husband alone has the only right to want for another baby. It is not the concern of others to be telling you that your 2 existing children are already enough for you and your husband. But maybe, they are just suggesting that perhaps your 2 children should grow a bit bigger, so that they would not be so much to take care of when you will have your another baby.

No one certainly has the right to tell you when you should be happy with your two kids at the end of the day it's you and your partners life and can choose for yourselves whether or not you wish to have another kid. Its no one else's business but your own. As for wanting a daughter there is nothing wrong with that in anyway. It makes sense to be fair you've had two boys it's only natural to want a girl. My father wanted a girl after me and my brother were born which is exactly what he got. For your own girl to girl bond I wish you luck in having a baby girl in the future.
