    A couple I know wanted the boy pride. They huffed and puffed, and huffed and puffed, and they have 4 girls now :)
    they stopped huffing now lol :)
    But yes there are couples who want the pride of a boy child and try hard as though they can control X Y chromosome.

    If you guys can afford a third child (remember education cost is rising) along with savings for retirement, then an option would be to adopt a male child if he desperately wants it. But there is no guarantee that the 3rd child is going to be boy. I have seen many couples with only one girl child. The family is leading a very happy life, taking vacations twice a year, living a nice lifestyle, etc.

    he failed twice to give the y matter in sperm... ask him if whats the guarantee the next is a boy? ...what is the point in a having a boy/girl .....all u need is healthy kids....... i know parents who give all their love affection and keep their pride and joy in their son ... and end up being looked after the girl kids in old age.. cause son is in some country settled and dont care....

    Atleast there is a possibility of improving the national sex ratio. It's a win-win.

    Tell your husband you cannot think of another child when you have no help with the children at home.Ask him to help out with the girls for a few years.Make him slave...hopefully that should be enough to stop the dreams of another one.Or it may bring him closer to his baby girls and make him realize that they complete his world.

    This is a personal decision and not a political one. So long as you are not doing any gender selective stuff, feel free to negotiate with your hubby. If you are living in the US, there should be no guilt in having as many children as you want. A man wanting a boy is not new and not a big deal! In fact it's a common one. Parenting a boy and girl are different and delightful in their own way. I don't think a spouse should make this a "poitical correctness" issue.

    Girl or Boy .baby is god's gift..And god has blessed you both with 2 wonderful daughter's...And what's the guarantee that the third one is going to be a boy??If not will he plan for a 4th one untill he reaches the target????

    I don't think that the OPs husband will be so
    open to change his thoughts to calm down his desire to have a
    boy child. Like someone said., it is his personal preference not a political issue. Even if he calms down now, anytime one of his friends or relatives give birth to a boy child, the feelings will be aroused in him. But then who guarantees a third male child?
