My top few children are girls my bottom bunch are boys. my 5th boy in a row! Kah was just born and I'm experiencing severe gender disappointment I love my boys
But I found the rythym of girls so much easier, my girls are growing up and I'm having a hard time coming to term that I'm a mom of boys now! Anyone had this
It doesn't help me that they are out of the house more I enjoy when my children are home

I have the opposite. boys on top, girls on the bottom...expecting another and not sure how I'd relearn how to deal with a boy...I guess we shall see.
Not really sure I have anything to add about your situation.just found it interesting that I have the opposite.

Thanks
It is easier to have the same gender together and another girl all alone would of been quite lonely for her it's just hard to close that parsha
And such a drastic difference between parenting both sets
My brain adjusted to one and now I'm learning the next

Same exact family setup as you OP. I find it very hard too. I think its so much better the families that have a mix of genders. The family seems very split this way. And I also find parenting girls easier.

It took you till #5 to realize you have sons? What did you, treat your first four boys like little girls?

Of course not! They are very much boys! And loved for that but as they get older the harder schedule they have compared to girls is glaring at me and bard for me to come to terms with that I would love if ppl who have older boys can comfort me!
Thanks for those that understand!

Interesting. I think boys are easier than girls. They are way wilder but emotionally, they roll with the punches and infuse so much happy energy without getting hysterical or whiny about things.

It's said that boys are harder on the furniture but girls are harder on the heartstrings. Like most such sayings, it's sometimes right and sometimes wrong.

No advice, but if it makes you feel any better:

Matityahu HaKohen had 5 boys and look what wonderful men they grew to be and what a priceless contribution to the Jewish people. May yours be similar.
