Except for the support from/with your husband. My (now ex) husband wanted to keep trying until he got a boy. So I have 3 daughters. After my last daughter was born, I got out of there.

About 16 years after I left him, he (at the at of 42) married an 18 year and had another girl. Luckily, that little girl was removed from the home and put up for adoption. (My daughters have not seen him since 1996 and consider my (current) husband of 14 years their father).

I love having daughters (though having a 17, 15 and 13 year old at the same time led to some interesting days around here!!)
