That's how I felt.

One sister has 2 boys, my other sister has 2 girls. They're happy with what they have, though the one with sons had wanted a daughter 2nd time around.

Adopt, duh. Also, the internalized misogyny isn't good to express around growing girls. Not that you'd care either way it seems...

I can understand the frustration as I had 3 daughters and 1 son and we had one last child and we were thrilled it was another boy. He is 10 years younger than his older brother but even if he had been a girl I wouldn't have loved the baby any less. ALL my kids are a blessing even though I have high blood pressure and have gone bald because of them LMAO. I even know what I would have named another daughter and me and the wife had agreed #5 was IT boy or girl didn't matter just something I would have had to deal with and hope for grandsons. It worked out for us like we wanted though. Oh and my 5 year old is a HUGE tomboy loves the dirt and bugs etc but she can dress up like a little princess as well. There are worse things than not getting exactly what gender you want believe me.

Grow up.

Or maybe your wife will wise up and divorce you.

What a nice story! You sound so proud and happy.
But to be clear, children are born with a predetermined sex, not a gender.
Humans don't really have a gender.

But hey, it's a woman's right, so be it.

OP: Why not check out in vitro fertilization and/or centrifuging sperm to separate the boys from the girls?
A less scientific and natural method is timing IC for different times in a woman's cycle.
If the faster boy sperms arrive ahead of the girls but there's no ovum they just.. lose out.. or whatever.
Then the slowpoke XX sperms can waltz in and lo, an egg may now await.
Reverse the timing to get a boy! It's chancy but I've heard others say this can up the odds for one sex or the other.
PS..I have no kids, so I am not speaking from experience.
Good luck!

You should be asking what you should do with yourself. Having kids with two different women and then still not satisfied with the children you have. I think you should find the boy inside yourself and fix him.
