While many moms- and dads-to-be say their main concern is that the pregnancy is complication-free and that the baby is well, the truth is some parents do secretly harbor a preference for a baby boy or baby girl. And when cameras are rolling and emotions are running high, sometimes a parent’s true thoughts about the sex of a future baby are captured forever, for better or for worse. Sure, parents hope that their baby is healthy and that the pregnancy goes well. But generally speaking, whether it’s because you have a vision in your head of what parenthood will be like or you just want to know if you’ll be able to use the hand-me-downs from your sister’s sons, a lot of parents do have a preference regarding the gender of their baby. Perhaps admitting when you’re disappointed with the outcome isn’t an awful thing. It’s just being honest. Sure, Dad was upset (or so we think — with pink table cloths and Mom’s matching dress, it’s possible he was just going for a laugh), but it’s definitely better to have a dad that’s passionate about his role as a father than one who couldn’t care less.
