We maintain a website, choose-sex-of-baby.com, and in order to monitor 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 for anyone wishing to conceive a baby boy. Here is what we found (but don't read too much into the comments as they are probably "off the cuff"):
To begin with the truly unexpected":
1. I'm 19 years old and I am 20 weeks pregnant with a boy. I always hoped it would be a boy, even prayed for a boy, a son. I could never manage a girl. There's no way in the world they are easier, especially a girl 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 daughter is now 14 months, and we're due with our second child. We're hoping for a male, just so we can have one of each, love a boy to keep things even and balanced but my hubby is still lacking that father-son relationship."
3. "I always wanted to conceive a boy first, just for that 'Big Brother' appeal. I had 3 elder 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 son to carry on his name, since he is the only male left in the family. 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 know how it is to raise both boys and girls, and it will give me more excitement, to see how they are different"
5." I always wanted 2 kids, a male and then a female. 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 quite sad and touching:
6. If I can select the sex of my baby, I really want a baby boy. I have always wished for a girl, but this changed 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 scared to death that she would. If I was told I was having a daughter, I would love her just as much as a baby boy, and wouldn't be disappointed one bit, I would just be a little worried 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 little boy because I've always been a tom boy
We were very amazed at the reasons why people would like to choose the sex of their baby, and had sort of guessed that parents may want to conceive a baby boy only either to "even out the family" or to "carry on the family name".
