We have a website, choose-sex-of-baby.com, and to keep track of what people are interested in and looking for about this topic, we keep visiting forums and sites to look at the latest posts and comments. This time we were specifically looking for the reasons why anyone wishes to conceive a baby boy. Here is what we found (but don't read too much into the comments since they are probably impromptu):
To start off with the "craziest"":
1. I'm 19 years old and I am 20 weeks pregnant with a boy. I always hoped it would be a son, a male, even prayed for a boy, a son. I could never deal with a female. There's no way they are easier, especially if she's related to me! Girls are crazy and possibly evil so I'm glad to be having a boy, worst thing that happens with a boy is he's a little stupid!!!"
2. "Our girl is now 14 months, and we're expecting our second baby. We're wishing for a son, just so we can have one of each, love a boy to keep things even and balanced but hubby is still lacking that father-son relationship."
3. "I always wanted to have a male first, just for that 'Big Brother' feeling. I had 3 older brothers growing up, and it was nice knowing there was always someone who would protect me and be watching."
4. "My husband also, I think, wanted to have a male to carry on his name, as he is the only one to continue the family name. His father died when he was very little, and he has only girl cousins from his father's side."
5." I would like to know how to conceive a boy, so I can see how it is to raise both, and it will be more exciting, to watch how they are different"
5." I always wanted 2 children, a boy and then a girl. Because I am the oldest in my family and never had a big brother growing up. I want my daughter to have that."
And this comment, which was rather sad and touching:
6. If I can decide the sex of my child, I really want a son. I have always wanted a girl, but this altered recently, when I thought about all the troubles I have put my parents through, and I wouldn't want my baby girl to turn out like me, and I would be worried to death that she would. If I was told that I was going to have a female, I would love her just as much as a son, and wouldn't be disappointed at all, I would just be a little frightened that she would turn out like her mommy.
I have been in a lot of trouble (with guys) these past couple years, and I wouldn't want my baby to be doing the things I did/do."
7. I'd want a son because I've always been a tom boy
We were quite astonished at the reasons why people wish to choose the sex of their baby, and had kind of guessed that couples may want to conceive a baby boy only either to "even out the family" or to "carry on the family name".
