When you’re expecting a baby, you might have a feeling about whether you’re having a boy or a girl. You might even (secretly) have a preference… but if anyone asks, the standard response is always, “We just want the baby to be healthy” or “We’ll be happy no matter what the gender is!”
Under certain circumstances, some expecting parent might really, REALLY be hoping for one gender or the other, like maybe, let’s say… a family that already has four girls.
Watch this dad’s reaction to the news that his wife is expecting their FIFTH daughter. I don’t want to make assumptions, especially when unborn children are involved, but… I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark and say Dad probably had his heart set on a boy.
My favorite part is after Dad’s dramatic reaction when Mom nonchalantly observes, “He may be dead. We’re not sure.”
I think she’s ready.
I’m sure, eventually Dad will come to terms and by the time that newborn arrives, he’ll be thrilled to welcome any healthy new addition to their family.
Let’s just hope he also has enough time to add on five or six bathrooms for the teen years. That’s gonna be ROUGH.

Poor dude! Not just the extra bathrooms, but the toilet paper! Prom dresses! And not to mention, weddings! 😔
LOL – awww Dad – someday he will look back and can’t imagine it any different. At least that’s what my Dad says with him having 3 girls and now having 5 granddaughters!
My sister in-law had just the opposite happen to her. She had three boys and wanted to try one last time for a girl. She and her husband found out that they were going to have twins and that they were boys. I told her in medieval times she would be a prized wife, didn’t really bring her much comfort. Wah wah.
