Do You Want A Boy or A Girl? Today is apparently the day for pondering this question. First I got in a conversation with Lauren at lunch about raising kids with neutral gender roles, exchanging stories of people we know. Then we met up with Krista in the office, who independently was talking about how much she wants to have a girl when she has kids, and how special her relationship is with her mom. As soon as Lauren got back to her desk, she told me to log onto MSN because the front story is called "Who's Easier: Boys or Girls?: When it comes to raising kids, gender matters. But our own personality and expectations may count even more."
