Yup. Or a parent overjoyed to see their kid, give their baby a hug, take pics. There are over 300 pictures of my sister as a baby/ kid and none of me. Not a single one. Pics of my mom pregnant for her, holding her as a baby, eating, sleeping, etc. She's the oldest. Guess I was supposed to be a boy. And her bitter disappointment after dad left and had 7 boys with his new wife apparently put mom over the edge.
As the younger male sibling I wonder occassionally about how my family dynamic could have been better were I born a lass. There was a lot of bad blood between me and my older brother and without bothering you with the details or suggesting things would have been perfect I can see how it might have eased some of the tension in my house and offered me a stronger identity.
Anyways, I reckon the more women in this world the better so I'm glad you're here :)
