my family is upset because I'm having another boy,how do I deal with them?

You are at the ultrasound stage...they have a long time to "Get used to the idea".

A lot of people in your family seem to have "a lot of opinions!" Curious!!

Do not remember a "smart" come back!! Please! You have your little one near you...and the baby inside...think and do only positive things for your babies sake.

This needs to be a VERY HAPPY time in your life as well as your husband! Cling to your husband that is HAPPY to be having another SON!

I am happy for you!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I'm happy for you and your own little family.Your son will love having a baby brother.

Too bad these people don't realize how very fortunate they are to be blessed with two little boys to love and cherish.

I would just keep telling them how happy you are and how you're looking forward to holding your new little son in your arms.

As for a comeback.......I would say that God has a part in all of this and wanted you to have another boy to carry on the family name.

I'm sure your baby will be accepted once they see him.Who can't love a baby?

CONGRATS and Good Luck with the birth.

A grandma of five who loves and cherishes each and everyone of them.

There are too many things that can go wrong with a pregnancy, and there are so many people in the world wishing and wishing for a baby. They should be happy that you have a healthy child on the way, irregardless of its gender. They're so consumed by the gender that they overlook the beautiful gift you have been given. There are better things to worry about in the world today in my opinion. All the best.

Family drama sure is fun isn't it? Personally if I had been faced with that kind of rejection all around I would have probably said something like "Hey, at least we know how to put the stem on the apple!" Some people are just never happy and in this case it sounds like they all were just looking for an excuse to reject your second child. Ridiculous!

Why not just be upfront and tell them their reaction to the news is insulting to you because thats YOUR baby and if they cant be happy for you then dont say anything at all. You might also add if they treat your child as substandard they wont be allowed around him.

The only way to deal with rude crass insensitive people is to point out how rude they are.

I think that you should just let your family know that your son is a part of you and if they cant except your son then they are just going to have to deal with it and they can just stay out of your sons life.why would you want your son not feeling wanted in a family like that?you should just let your family know that there actions can effect your son and who knows your son might grow up to be the next president ...so keep your head up and dont let your family upset you.

Though it may sound rash and harsh, I'd tell them that if they can't be happy for your new baby or you then they are not holding you as a priority or treating you with respect..they will not be allowed to be apart of your life.

Tell them that if they can't accept your son, then you cannot accept them in your life. Protect your child from heartache.
