When I told my sisters I was having a boy, one said "Atleast it's healthy." and the other said "Oh no, send it back."
I am happy we are having a boy, but I have 6 nephews. So they were rooting for a girl. I hung up on the one that said "send it back." Ended up making me cry when I was on top of the world.
I was really hurt.

My sisters reacted pretty much the same way. When I sent my oldest sister the text that said he is a boy, she took about 10 minutes to reply, "Oh, well....we'll love him anyway!"
Yes, I was hoping for a girl - we all were, but God gave us a boy, and I'm excited! Of course, now everyone is thrilled. The same sister who said that talks to my belly every time she sees me, and he kicks for her. They're going to be thick as thieves when he gets here.
Thanks, I am happy with a boy, I would have been happy with a girl. But I already know the drill when it comes to boys. I have no clue when it comes to girls. I have never even changed a girl diaper. So I was elated when I found out it was boy.
My older sisters have always loved raining on my parade and normally I can just ignore them, but my hormones make that much harder. Luckily they live several hours away, so I can just ignore their phone calls.
Seriously, people seem to be unaware of their stupid comments.
My SIL said to me after I announced that we're having a girl, she said "oh, didn't you tell me that you wanted a boy" " Are you ok with this?" First off I never said I preferred any gender, 2nd..people suck.
On my side, there are 2 boys and one girl (my nephews and niece). On my husband's side, there are 3 girls and one boy! My husband's side is kind of hoping for a little boy since girls are the majority, but everyone will either be tickled pink or blue! I would be shocked if anyone uttered those comments to us. However, we have had problems getting pregnant and have been through a couple of miscarriages, so of course all we and our family wants is a healthy baby!
I'm hoping they come around and apologize to you. It's definitely in order.
