One sunny afternoon, while I was hanging out at the playground with my twin boys, I couldn’t help but overhear a woman at a nearby picnic table express her disdain: “The last thing I want is to get pregnant with a boy.” Her words hung in the air, and it took everything in me not to respond.
I wanted to shout: “Do you realize how fortunate you are to conceive without spending a fortune on fertility treatments? Some of us, like me, would give anything for that opportunity!” I was having a blast with my two amazing boys, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
Sure, many people have preferences when it comes to the gender of their future children, but to say that a baby boy is the last thing you’d want? That’s hard to believe. Boys are pretty incredible, and I’m confident there are far worse experiences than having a little one of that gender.
In fact, I’d argue that there’s nothing quite as rewarding as welcoming a boy into your life—unless you’re lucky enough to have two! But since there are evidently women who feel comfortable sharing their negative sentiments about boys, I thought I’d provide a fresh perspective. Here are 15 things that I believe most women would prefer to avoid over “getting pregnant with a boy”:
- Cuddling with a box jellyfish.
- Spending a night in a porta-potty at a taco festival.
- Sharing Eskimo kisses with a star-nosed mole.
- Mistaking a dead fly in cookie dough for a raisin.
- Giving herself a hydrochloric acid enema—ouch!
- Using a leech as an emergency tampon.
- Being intimate with Beldar Conehead.
- Having her eyes gouged out and eaten by a naked mole rat, while watching it pass through its digestive system.
- Making out with a coprophagiac—defined as someone who can’t resist eating feces.
- Getting pregnant with a girl…sea urchin. Good luck with that delivery!
- Kissing a cockroach.
- Eating a cockroach.
- Pooping out a cockroach.
- Being a cockroach and engaging in cockroach romance.
- Battling infertility issues.
And as a bonus, try dealing with someone who has infertility challenges—she might just send her beloved sons after you!
