Now, with all of this joy, gaiety, and frivolity, one would think that the happiness would be spread evenly between the mother and the father, with both sharing equally in the benefits and attention given. In fact, conception is the last part of childbirth where most males say they have had fun. This is because most women would prefer to have girls and, therefore, tend to concentrate on buying 'girlish' items. Many women, after putting up with us men and our 'attitudes', 'disgusting habits', and Monday Night Football, probably don't want to see another shining example of maleness about the house imitating their fathers and, therefore, secretly desire to have girls. From friends, loved ones, family members, co-workers, neighbors, etc., it never changes.
All women get sympathetic treatment when they become pregnant.
Remarks like these are common to a pregnant woman. She will get these and more quite often. Then there are the common complaints from the expectant mother herself. These include not being able to find nice maternity clothes, not being able to eat her favorite foods anymore, being constantly nauseous, not being comfortable sitting, standing, or lying down, swelling body parts, mood swings, etc. I've even heard women say that if their men really did love them, they would feel some of this pain.
