Side-eyeing anyone who asks 'Was it planned?'
"We had a girl the first time around, so when we were pregnant a second time and found out it was another girl, EVERYONE asked us whether we wished it was a boy. Like, why are boys valued so much more than girls?! Why does EVERYONE assume that we all want a boy over a girl? It really makes me wonder whether parents of boys are asked the reverse question and whether they find it just as rude. For the record, I’m thrilled to have two girls.
"Yeah, that’s not how sleep works, idiot. Sleep deprivation is very real with a newborn but I can’t store sleep in my body to use later!" —"OMG during the last month and a half of my pregnancy, one of my male co-workers greeted me every morning with, 'You haven't had that baby yet!?' Yes, because it's my choice to have the baby gestate for 40 weeks." —"We are expecting our third baby in four years; the doctor called us ambitious the other day.
"I have a coworker who was constantly saying, 'Oh, I hope you have a girl so you can take her shopping and get your nails done!!!' Every. Single. Day. I told her many times and in many ways that I a) didn’t buy into gender stereotypes and find them offensive and b) was hoping for a boy, for several reasons that had nothing to do with unnecessarily gendered activities. This did not stop her. I literally dreaded seeing her.
Then, when I found out I was having a boy, she said to me, 'But I wanted you to have a girl! Now you have to have another baby so you can get a girl next time.' I told her I had no intention of getting pregnant again and she demanded to know why."
