[ - ] I have two ds and am pregnant again. We don't know the gender yet, and prior to pregnancy I hadn't given it much thought. Suddenly I'm realizing that I'll be very disappointed if this is not a girl. I feel terrible for feeling this way. I know I will love the baby no matter what, but I wish I could shake this feeling. I'm nervous about finding out the gender because I'm scared I'll feel disappointed by a boy, and will be angry with myself for being disappointed. Do you think it's better to wait and have a delivery room surprise in this case? I'm sure I'd fall in love the second I saw my baby, so I wonder if I should wait, or if it's better to find out so that I'm not worrying about it the whole time. WDYT? 17 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Interesting question. Personally, I would find out. Forgive yourself a bit for the possible disappointment and remind yourself that when they get here you will love them SO much no matter the gender. I would rather know than wonder, but I suppose it depends how much time you spend "wondering" [ Reply | More

OP: :) Thanks. I was so excited for this pregnancy, and I guess realizing how much I want a DD has made me feel a bit guilty. I think you're probably right though. Just find out, and focus on what I KNOW is good: healthy baby, that I will love no matter what in the end. [ Reply | More

If you're worrying about it a lot, I would find out. 1) It might be a girl and then you'll have relieved yourself from months of worrying. 2) If it's a boy, at least you know. And it's okay. LIke you said you WILL fall in love right away. Don't feel badly about disappointment. Handle it discreetly, but don't beat yourself up about it. [ Reply | More

I would need to know. But that's just me. I also would "fake it to make it" of I found out it was a boy. What I mean is, however disappointed I may feel, I would tell everyone how thrilled I was to be having another boy, and let the truth of that settle in, rather than allow myself to wallow in disappointment and exacerbate the feeling. I am a big believer in that though. [ Reply | More

np I agree with this overall. That said, if you are disappointed I think it's good if you have SOMEONE you can share that with. I would not publicize it generally, but if there is someone you can share this with in confidence I think that would be good. [ Reply | More

+1 I dealt with something like this. It IS important to "keep it to yourself" to an extent. You don't want to wallow, or advertise disappointment like this. But if you're struggling (and it's very normal to struggle with this for many), it's also good to have someone to talk to who will encourage you, lest you let guilt take over. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Does this sound feasible? 33 yo & entering into a year long accelerated program that merges a master's degree in curriculum & instruction with a single subject teaching credential in English that will include specialization/endorsements in English as a Second Language (ESL) & reading. Afterwards going for a JD with the idea of specializing in education policy & law----not to practice in a firm but instead to work either for one of the larger school districts in my area in an administrative/curriculum position or in Sacramento (my state's capitol which I am 45 miles away from) in some government position relative to education. Does this sound like it could work? 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Do you know for certain that the positions you envision actually exist? If so, what about reaching out to people who already do what you hope to do, and get their feedback on your education plans [ Reply | More

OP: Thanks so much for replying. I am surrounded by people in education and I know that while I want to start off in the classroom, I don't want to stay in the classroom. I want to remain in education but I'd prefer j more the policy/curriculum side. I have some friends and relatives that are attorneys---I'm not sure how to take their advice: they all say go for law school. However none of them are in education law and they all received their degrees with the idea of purely practicing in a firm. They also received those degrees anywhere from 15-20 years ago. I know the general advice right now is to stay away from a law degree if you plan on practicing law solely and therefore will be looking for a traditional legal job but in essence I would be using the JD to assist me while following my career trajectory in education.

I am a JD--it doesn't sound like you need a JD for the type of positions you are talking about. Get your master's and then pause and see what the job opportunities are like before throwing yourself into a JD program. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Let me preface this with saying that I don't like my SIL. She got me a razor & refills for my birthday last year, while she is one of those people who sends out extravagant birthday wish lists for herself. This year, the day after my birthday, she sends me a note on fb - "hey, I want to get you a hairbrush, send me some pictures of what you would like." Would your initial reaction be wtf as well? Want to tell her thanks for thinking of me, but a gift isn't necessary. WWYD? 30 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

op. Ha, I'm very tempted and really wish I could! But it's fairest to treat all my SIL's the same, and I have two other super sweet SIL's. Besides, she keeps track of other people's presents and would have the biggest hissy fit if her present didn't measure up. [ Reply | More

My immediate thought is this: This dislike is mutual for both parties and along with expressing her dislike for you, she is also trying to communicate something else to you: how are you in the grooming dept? Evidently, she believes that you need some help. [ Reply | More
