Mother of Girls
« on: February 03, 2015, 04:01:00 PM »
Since I was little, I always dreamt of having a big family with lots of boys. An only child myself, I was raised solely by my mother, without a father, and never had any male guidance or presence which left me with a big void for the male component within a home. I think that is why I wanted to have boys so much. I was not neutral.

Instead, God thinks that I am best mothering girls maybe because I am actually a very feminine woman myself and has been giving me daughters. I only have one son. I just found out I am having another girl among 4! It is hard for me to understand God's will in this respect and my Faith is being heavily tested on this respect. This is probably not my last baby as I am still young but it seems there is a pattern there, so probably the next time, it will be another daughter.

I am feeling very ashamed and guilty over these feelings because it feels that I am putting my will over that of God.

Any thoughts?

I think any time we start mentally designing our families, we set ourselves up for disappointment.

I mostly just wanted to say congratulations! We have a very female family too.

I am the OP. It does not help that all my friends and the people around me seem to be having only boys, one after the other. I feel envy. I will be going to confess as soon as possible. As I said, I feel ashamed and very depressed over it.

My best friend have 9 boys and she was desperate for a girl and finally got her.

Maybe you can trade?  Just kidding.  You sound so sad, I wanted to bring a smile to your face.

I only had one son too.  He is adult now, and oh my goodness what a spectacular relationship we have as traditional Catholic mother and son.  Try to see your son as a special gift to treasure all the more because he is the only one (for now ant!)

I really like your reasoning and wisdom as to why God gave you girls.

After you talk to your priest, you will feel better.   Stay happy and positive!  God loves you, he's blessing you with many children!
