Having three boys, I am constantly asked (in front of my kids!) if I am going to "keep trying to get that girl." It's really common for people to say something along the lines of "three boys?! you must have your hands full/be one tired mom/be super busy/etc" I always worry that those little remarks will make the boys see themselves as a burden, or as less desirable than a little girl. It happens frequently enough that my kids have actually started asking me why people say that to me all the time! Ironically, I tell the kids people say that to me because they can't believe I was so lucky that God give me three sons!
