Thank you, Denise. I should not have generalized about women who cannot be friends with other women (and I admitted it was a generalization), but it does seem problematic if a woman has such a poor outlook on her own gender. Men and women do tend to discuss different things, but it hardly makes women less intelligent. I have been surrounded by men (because I have been involved in some typically male-dominated areas – such as law and politics) with very strong, vocal opinions on “intelligent issues.” I have discovered – and again this is a generalization -that these men often play the same reel over and over. They don’t tend to analyze an issue any more deeply than women – they are just more forceful about it.

I have had very interesting conversations with women on politics, evolution, religion, etc… But it is also nice to just sometimes talk about babies, hence why many of us visit this site! But a little baby girl should not be saddled with preconceived notions of women. Enjoy your baby girls!

Eliza- I could be wrong, but I’m guessing she meant that if she had a daughter, the two of them might not get along down the road. Sort of like how Tori Spelling said before finding out Stella’s gender that, while she wanted a girl, she also feared having one due to the fact that she has an extremely rocky relationship with her own mother.

I have to apologize for my last post. I am sorry to A for saying that. I am just so surprised that a human being would make such demeaning generalizations. I can’t imagine I would change your opinion. I just hope that you someday find yourself amongst some intelligent folks. The smart ones usually travel in packs. And you can find us everywhere, we’re literally all over the place. We’re easy to identify as we’re not surrounded by giant bubbles. And we’re teaching our daughters AND sons our ways.)

Well, A, just because some women in the comments are critical of gender stereotyping does not make them “catty” or “dramatic”. We are just sensitive to the negative light females have historically been put in. We feel it is harmful and offensive to all women and we should not be shamed for pointing it out.

Also, most women I know do not live in a “self-absorbed bubble”. Many women I have known are kind, compassionate, and intelligent. Ofcourse, there are women who I do not care for, but they are not the majority not by a stretch. (Same with men).

“I was a little afraid that if it was a girl that she would not like me, you know?”

I’m sure the baby would ‘like’ her… of course it would! Past experiences with other females have nothing to do with how your child, especially an infant, percieves you. I wonder what she would say if she was having a girl? But still, her opinion is her opinion. I love the name Jackson Riley! All the best to her.

Sounds like she’s got her head on straight to me. Nothing wrong with good honest labour. And also nothing wrong with admitting that you prefer a boy over a girl or vice-versa… it’s honest. I was personally really upset when I found out I was having a boy, but when he arrived it didn’t matter one bit – I love him more than words!

I also think she sounds very very young and immature. BUT, I’m so impressed she is waitressing that it cancels out the questionable comments. Wow.

Some of you who have problems with women not liking other women need to get over yourselves, because you sound like the very ones who are dramatic and catty, and who would give other women problems. And, regardless of what some of you think, it is not always about “100% attention from men”. Sounds like you think there’s a sleazy motive. WRONG. Fact is, with guys, they don’t get dramatic or gossipy, nor do they endlessly talk about their boyfriend/husband when times are good, and whine about them when times are bad. Unlike most women, men keep it simple and actually talk about intelligent issues instead of living in a self-absorbed bubble.

Lets go back to the case here: Jane Carey becoming a mom and Jim Carry a grandfather! I love the thought of seeing Jim with his grandchild! Or even hearing him talking about the baby. I never saw him with Jane as a child, probably because when he got famous I think she was already 7 years old, and her parents sheltered her from the media spotlight! Think about Jenny McCarthy becoming a stepgrandparent, still in her thirthies, and little Evan becoming an uncle, or maybe he`ll be more like a big brother for this baby. Since Evan is autistic he might never get married and have kids of his own, so for Jenny, with him being an onlychild, Janes child(ren) is maybe the only grandkid(s) she will have. So I`m so happy for this little family welcoming a baby into their lives.
