Baby boy
Everyone in my family has sons and daughters except me. I can't help but feel so jealous and sad. I'm going to try to have to pretend to be happy about it when deep down I'm really not. How do I stop feeling like this. I don't want to be a hater. I don't want to be envious. I want to be happy for everyone and a good doer. But I really am finding it hard to put these feelings aside.
Show your support
Focus on the things you are thankful for. It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking primarily about the things we want but don't have. The only way I have found to overcome that is by intentionally practicing gratitude.
I will try this, thank you.

The gender of your children is determined by the father, there’s nothing that can be done to change or determine that unless you looked into IVF. Are you envious because you want more children or because you feel disappointed that you only have one gender of kids? Are you wanting more kids? Envy is the thief of joy, it’s easy to say but don’t let it impact your life. Surely no one else is bothered that you don’t have a boy and a girl? Xx
