How do you get over “gender guilt”

I know this will sound irrational, but I’m feeling guilty that I’m pregnant with another boy.

You know how people are… if you already have a boy they hope for girl and vice versa.

I always wanted to have just boys so I was very happy finding out the gender, but my MIL had 3 boys of her own and always made me feel this pressure that I needed to give her a granddaughter. I know, ridiculous right? But since I told her she doesn’t seem excited at all! And I had HG this whole time so she was thinking it was gonna be a girl because of that… even my father in law was more supportive then she was when we told him the news… Im just sad because she is like a mother to me and not having her support really hurts.

Is it just me that feel this way? This weird guilt feeling… I’m finding hard to feel happy and show my happiness because everybody was hoping for girl.

Society really ruins everything huh. 😔

Why can’t people be happy and satisfied with having children that are all the same gender 😣
