toxic people

being pregnant always results in uncalled for comments.

Why do people like to impose their preferences on me? like they assume that i am having another kid coz amber is a girl and that i NEED TO HAVE a boy?! even my parents and in-laws aren't so gender biased! comments like "so if its a girl, are you going to have another kid soon?n or "you must be hoping for a boy now" ; but on the other hand, there are those who go "i hope its a girl" just because THEY want to have 2 girls instead of boys???

having kids is not about balancing genders. its about having your own offspring, and no matter how painful childbirth is, or how naughty your own kids turn out to be, you will always love them coz they are YOUR OWN.

well, i don't know how many kids i will have....i can only tell when i have the next one and decide if i can be a good mom to more than 2 kids. it depends on the amount of attention i can give and the kind of stress that i can cope with. so ideally, i can say i want 4 kids...amber rae, one on the way, another born in the year of an Ox (marc is an ox) and last one when i am 36 coz baby will be born in the year of a rabbit, like me.....so it all depends. and of course there are fertility issues to deal with, being an older mom....so how can i decide ? and why should i let toxic people decide for me?

any kid of my dearest friend will be precious to me as well! It doesn't matter how many or what gender, as long as you're happy, I'm happy for you!!
