Oh world of wonder will you please give poor, broke, Kim some money off her bundle. The poor creature is only gagging for a McDonald’s, she’s only it once so far this week! 😢

She is so obvious, it's embarrassing......go get a job to pay for the baby's stuff and stop begging for freebies & discounts.

Its going to be a long 20 weeks listening to Baby Boy this, Baby Boy that 🙄

I am expecting my 2nd and it’s the same sex as my first.. I was completely convinced that both were the opposite of what they are, at the end of the day I’m so greatful to have a happy healthy toddler and another on the way and thats all that matters.. maybe she needs a good scare to wake her up! I have never had fertility treatment and I feel so lucky to have what I have, for her that has went through hell and back to have a baby, with the 50/50 chance it could be either a boy or a girl I just don’t get her disappointment.. I get some people will say gender disappointment is a real thing but in my opinion it’s selfish… think of the little baby in your belly who didn’t ask to be brought into this world.. be greatful and show some gratification for what you’re getting! Not aimed at anyone but there’s bigger things going on in the world right now and it’s absolutely selfish to be disappointed!

I don't know if she's disappointed or not. I think for others it depends what you have. I had 3 of same sex first and was genuinely not disappointed. On my 4th however I did secretly hope it was the other sex although I would never have admitted it. I did end up having the other sex so haven't experienced gender disappointment.

I would agree I have a toddler and was kind of hoping that on the second baby it would be the same gender so that they would be maybe closer to each other growing up. My husband was also kind of hoping for the same gender again, especially since we only plan on two. I know most people hope for the gender they don't have!
 
I live near a very successful Instagram hun. She has a job that she’s brilliant at. She’s not a nasty hun - she’s an utter sweetheart. Loves her family and has the kindest heart. She has her ‘market’ sussed. She has help with the admin side of things and loads of childminding, housekeeping help too. This girl could live off the freebies and gifts she gets. A lot of them just arrive at her door. I think Kim looks at people like this and thinks she can smash this - no need to work - just put up the odd post to your 10.2k followers. Kim is a tad dim and still hasn’t sussed that 10.1k are following for the entertainment value. If she hasn’t made her mark by now she’s at nothing. As soon as July comes and the sprog arrives - well that’s the end of the journey. Post a few pics. He arrived. End of our IVF journey.

I didn’t care in the least what gender I was having but myself and my husband were convinced it was a boy. No reason whatsoever to think that way but convinced. So I had to remind myself there’s a 50/50 chance. Haha. As it turned out, we were right. But I know for us we would have been thrilled regardless. I personally think if you have a preference, it’s better to find out at birth. Cos once you see, hold the baby, in most cases you forget the rest and just love your little bundle.

Also..most kids don’t conform to the boy/girl stereotype. I know my boy is as into dolls as he is cars. My nephew was the same. And as a kid I hated all girls’ toys and just wanted to play with boys’ toys 🤣🤣

I’m very naive as I presumed people that do it in their house have some kind of qualification 🥴😭

Nope! People doing it from their own homes generally get paid less too, if it's done in the child's home then you have to pay minimum wage and a while host of other benefits. But neither need a qualification or even Garda vetting. Obviously most parents would look for both ideally, but it's not technically needed.
 
She did do a childcare course in college of comm years ago, not sure if that qualifies her or not? Not sure if she's minding the baby boy at his house or her house really tbh. I know the occupations of the parents as they are family friends. I'm a bit shocked they went with her, tbh.
