Pil gender bias

I feel this irritation too. My husband and I initially guessed personally that we were having a boy because of ‘feeling’ but when we found out our baby is a girl, we became more excited. Prior to the gender reveal, people kept coming to me and touching my bump saying “Must be boy lah.” It made me so annoyed because all I wanted was a healthy baby and I know I would love my child the same regardless of the gender. Following the gender reveal, MIL started saying “next one must be a boy!” and FIL dishearteningly said “okay lah girl also okay” Random in-laws saying “I wish I get a boy for the first one because girls will be closer to their father’s side.” Husband and I are really ecstatic about our incoming daughter and these comments just make me annoyed at how shallow people can be to place so much importance on gender still in this day and age. Thank god my parents are there to keep me grounded because they heard the comments and told me “pray for a healthy child, that’s the most important thing, girl or boy we’ll love our grandchild the same.” 🥹
