Make best use of it like we used to in school/College (WGIISWGO - what goes in is what goes out)<BR/><BR/>I kind of love a One of both Scenario . . . I do not like a child growing up alone, everybody defiantly needs some one with whom you can have fun irritating all d time.<BR/><BR/>The Nicest of "wishing" i came across was from one of my best friends Seema, "lots of kids, probably few adopted"<BR/><BR/>It is something i have decided to consider "depending on my bank balance" . . . i must be able provide for them ( cost of today's education.. get d idea on what i mean by balance)<BR/><BR/>Again IDEALLY for me i don't want them to kno they were adopted (if they do they were..

Let everybody else predict, just smile and change the conversation.<BR/><BR/>V wanted a girl so bad when I was so sure I was carrying a little boy. His smile actually slipped for a second when he was shown a baby boy. :) I forgive him.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819608939555247317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-30984893426320260542008-05-25T14:36:00.000+05:302008-05-25T14:36:00.000+05:302 pregnancies and i have learnt to use both my ear...2 pregnancies and i have learnt to use both my ears - one to listen and the other to throw out. Who says only boys take care of their parents in the old age? Visit any old age home to enlighten yourself. And tons of girls share responsibilities of their parents.<BR/>Honestly, to each his/her own - boy/girl whatever...as long as the parent takes good care of the child....how does it matter?<BR/>And no I dont judge people when they ask for a boy or girl or when they tell me - o your family is now complete with boy and girl........and I hope people dont judge me when I dont make appropriate noises about the sex of their child.Something to Sayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03568614313809544638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-49586263776845717742008-05-24T00:24:00.000+05:302008-05-24T00:24:00.000+05:30When I was pregnant, I so knew that I wanted a boy...When I was pregnant, I so knew that I wanted a boy, for different reasons. I wanted one because, both my sis and bro have girls, and a boy would be nice. But if it had been a girl, I would have been happy too.

Have bee...De-lurking for the first time to comment. Have been reading your blog for quite some time and I like the way you write. <BR/><BR/>I especially like your last statement " So can we make a beginning by not judging any parent who says that they want a boy baby". <BR/><BR/>Can we also add that we should not, in this day and age, offer condolences to people having 2 girls or tell them that their family is incomplete because they don't have a male issue. <BR/><BR/>You can guess where this is coming from. My parents have 2 girls and they and my extended family have never, ever ever.. said or made us feel that they would have preferred a male child over a girl. I grew up thinking that it was all luck whethere you had boys or girls. There are more girls in my family than boys. So it was all fun and games as children.<BR/><BR/>But once I began working and also after I came to the US, you cannot imagine my shock when well-educated people began stating," ohh we feel bad for your parents. Who's going to look after them?" <BR/><BR/>Makes me want to scratch their eyes out. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to hog your comment space. This statement always gets my goat.<BR/><BR/>ArathiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-59798956639261723522008-05-23T17:59:00.000+05:302008-05-23T17:59:00.000+05:30I totally agree with you. The moment you see a hug...I totally agree with you. The moment you see a huge belly, the question starts pouring in from absolute strangers even. I almost threw out my maid for saying that "you should wish for a boy first, once you have a boy, the next child could be anything"!!! Well, it is true that moms and daughters bond better than any other combination, but it is just as imperative in today's fast paced world that one makes and keeps friends for the same reasons of companionship in old age. I am sure am going to join a NGO that teaches adults English litracy when am done with my life's responsiblities and desires (when that'd be, I know not!!)Cuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697563902061372977noreply@blogger.com
