One mom opens up about her experience with gender disappointment.
Blake Mason, 30, shared on TikTok that she had always envisioned having three girls, but now has one son and another boy on the way—a reality she is still processing.
Blake found the experience more relatable than she anticipated after hearing from others.
Initially, she felt “really sorry” and panicked at the thought of never having a daughter. Her husband felt sad for her too, understanding her desire to raise a girl but is thrilled about another son.
Many on TikTok resonated with Blake’s emotions, expressing similar sentiments, like grieving over not having a daughter they dreamed of.
After processing her feelings, Blake now feels excited to have two sons, feeling “stoked” about it.
Life doesn’t always go as planned, but it can often turn out better than expected. It’s important to talk about these expectations and accept the beautiful reality of your family.
