Pil gender bias

Feeling so frustrated with my inlaws … when my husband and I broke the news that we were pregnant with #1, the first thing out my mil mouth is “hope that its a boy”. Omg!!! I felt so irritated then as I felt that no matter if its a girl or boy I will love them equally the same. Fast forward 20 weeks later, we confirmed that we were having a baby boy. And of course, pil were so happy they started clapping in a restaurant. Is it weird that I feel annoyed by their actions? In my mind, its if u want a boy then why not have another one yourself….

it’s not weird. their dream is probably to have a boy grandchild for lineage, not another son. very old traditional thinking and perspective. suggest you learn to one ear in and one ear out because there’s more of these nonsense comments to come. you can’t stop them from saying but learn to manage yourself. of course if it gets too much, your husband needs to help intervene.
