Is baby a boy or a girl?
It’s the first question you’re asked when people find out your pregnant, “Is it a boy or a girl?” Or maybe if you’re obviously just newly pregnant, they’ll ask you, “Do you want a boy or a girl?”. Why is this such an important topic for everyone, even those who aren’t the parents-to-be?
ParentDish put up an interesting article yesterday by Jennifer Jordan on “Would you admit you wanted a girl (or boy)?” That in itself is an interesting question. I wrote my own post on my personal site about preference and if I have one or not (I don’t).
Also, check out these articles over at Parents.com on the touchy subject of gender, including gender selection and stereotypes. I guess that’s what the touchiest subject for me is, the stereotypes. I don’t believe in them and I do think that that genes and family upbringing have a lot to do with how a child acts more than simply “Boys are wild and Girls are sweet.”
Where do you weigh in on the Great Gender Debate?
