Is she being a little ridiculous?
How would yall respond to this? I typically am not one to judge because I know gender disappointment is a real thing but I feel like in this case it’s kinda going beyond that and is getting a little sad. One of my best friends and I are both pregnant. I got pregnant first and she was excited for me, she would often talk about how badly she wanted another baby because she’s struggled getting pregnant for the last 4 years and by now had assumed she was infertile or that something was wrong. She even talked about fertility treatments and <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> and sperm donation etc like that’s how bad she has wanted a baby. Now long story short shes pregnant from a weekend thing and was happy about it but the more time that passes she seems to be growing obsessive with the thought of the baby being a girl. She has made it very clear that she will be MASSIVELY upset if it’s not a girl and almost as if her life will be ruined if it’s a boy because she doesn’t want a boy. Some of the things she’s said is just horrible and honestly weird considering she wanted another baby so bad and thought she’d never have one now she’s being so negative about the possibility of it not being the gender she wants. She paid for an early blood test to find out what it is and her gender reveal is this coming week. Every single time we talk she says something nasty about the baby possibly being a boy and im low key starting to get offended by it because I have 2 boys I’m currently pregnant with a boy and have told her it’s not gonna be the end of the world boys are sweet etc but she just scoffs and says she don’t care she doesn’t want one at all. She’s made comments along the lines of “if I spent all this money to find out early just for it to be a boy I’m gonna be pissed” “if it’s a boy im gonna wish I didn’t even find out” “idk what im gonna do if it’s a boy, let me not even say something horrible” “surely god wouldn’t do that to me and give me a boy” that’s not even half of it. I jokingly-not so jokingly told her to at least try to hide her negative reaction at the gender reveal if she’s gonna be videoing it because the baby may see it one day and she scoffed and said she “don’t give a damn” that if she sees blue she’s throwing the smoke cannon on the ground and walking away and telling everyone to go home blah blah blah said she’s gonna cry and be mad and literally get depressed over it like she just goes on and on about howwwww upset she’s gonna be. Like I honestly hope it’s not a boy for the baby’s sake because the deep level of disappointment she already has when she doesn’t even know the gender yet is just crazy. I assumed she’d just be happy to be blessed with another baby and get this experience but she’s coming off very ungrateful and picky about it. I feel like there’s a difference in having gender disappointment and just full blown hating on a specific gender😅 maybe I’m taking it personal because I’m having a boy but jeez I’ve tried to be positive and tell her it’ll be fine if it’s a boy but I’m just getting tired of hearing the mean comments and running out of responses to them. I’m dreading her gender reveal because if it turns out to be a boy I don’t think I’ll be able to bare listening to the terrible things she’s gonna have to say about it.
