You really wanted a boy (girl), and you had a child of the opposite sex, how do you cope with this?

This is not a store that you can choose one or the other.
Throw it out and make a new one, same as a casserole that doesn’t come out right.
Marry someone who already has a child.
I love my child.
Ask for a refund!?
Better adoption. There you can choose.
Understand that there is only a meaningful difference if you force there to be one.
Sell it to China.
Better luck next time
Um get over yourself and be grateful for the healthy child you have, not everyone is so lucky.
Why does this matter to people? Isn’t a healthy baby enough?
I have problems with this.
I really wanted a boy, but a girl was born.
We made another attempt and again a girl.
Now we have three girls and we do not make more attempts.
The main thing is that your child in the process of life does not want to change his gender.
Well if you’re my father you treat both your daughters like boys and make them feel completely unloved unless they show any interest or skill in things like Nascar or fishing or fighting or boy skills. As adults he ll fix your car or BBQ a burnt steak. He also has 4 beautiful granddaughters.
What the actual fuck? How stupid can you be??
send it back to the factory
I don’t really know what kind of answer you’re looking for
As long as they’re not an asshole, I’ll love them.
Asshole being racist, murder, breaking any huge laws, showering cold, etc.
Put the baby in the oven and make a new one
I guess you try again – up to a point. I know several couples that have three daughters.
put it on a garage sale
You’re a grown man/woman who knows that the odds are 50/50. The only way to “cope” is to accept your life as it is and be the best parent you can be.
My parents had a second child and got what they wanted then spoiled her.
Make it siblings until you get what you want or realize it wasn’t that important to begin with. Any time I meet couples with 3 of something, it’s almost always a story like this.
I wanted a girl got 2 boys, didn’t care, love them to bits. Trying for number 3 now, honestly don’t care if boy or girl as long as healthy.
Put it back and try again
By just not being so petty
It’s too late at that stage – the key is to never have (or never mentally acknowledge) the strong desire for one or the other. No disappointments that way.
I guess it might be a good idea to envision the fun things you can do (traditionally speaking) with the gender you didn’t want, and also remember they’ll be their own person, no matter what. You may end up getting closer to your version of a perfect child with the opposite gender you had imagined.
Only want for healthy. And be happy you can actually procreate. Also don’t be the cunt your parents were
Have another kid and hope that this one’s a boy (girl)
What depressing fucking question.
