Donāt think yesterday was the day to broach it with herself covered in blood, sweat, tears and puke.
Weāre blessed to have the three. However in our heart of hearts I know we both would like another. The three so far are all in some way called after their grandparents. It would be nice to finish the set. If it happens, brilliant. If it doesnāt, itās no biggie. As I said we are blessed with what we have and know many couples who are struggling to have one.

Iāve mentioned it before, but I have two boys and Iām constantly shattered since the second one arrived in June. Now I think it would be good to have a daughter for purely selfish reasons. Sheād surely be more inclined to look after me in old age, which would be important as Iāve a terrible lazy streak. But I measure that against the tough early months. You hear idiots saying a little coo or a smile makes up for them puking down your top when youāre gently rocking them to sleep on your shoulder. Would I be able to go through it a third time? And what if itās another boy? Plus Iām getting on and will be 40 next year. Thereās a lot of risk for the possible reward.

Not having a daughter to look after you in your dotage is a dangerous move. Iād be going again there as quick as you can. Time isnt on your side.

You might have the two, but it you has the thoughts of another?
When I see the two nephews, 3-5 - boys are a fucking nightmare - theyāre stupid bastards that want to see what happens when you kick a dog or throw an object at a window. Girls will bring their own worry in time no doubt, but they seem to be streets ahead of boys at the younger stages. It will be all different in a few years when youre jokingly handing your boys condoms as they go out for a night out - telling them to āgo nail her, sonāā¦ Iāll be loading up two double barrels at that stage.

My last 3 (three) children have been female. Iām going to be well looked after when Iām even older than I am now. Iād hate to be, say, 39 and only have boys in the family unit. Sure they carry on your family name and you get to be immortal but are they going to mind you when you are in your 80ās/90ās? Not a hope.
