❓Reason 1 - Тraditions.❓
The successor of the clan, the bearer of a proud and ancient surname, the guardian of tribal traditions - no, these are not titles from the Game of Thrones, this is what many parents expect from a boy who has not yet been born. Dad wants his son to become his right hand, hope and support, to share his worldview. This is parental selfishness, and this is normal. However, the conflict of fathers and children does not care whether you have a boy or a girl, and with a probability of about one hundred percent, he will overtake you with both your son and daughter.

❓Reason 2. Personal experience.❓
Future dads themselves were born boys and experienced all the pros and cons of raising a boy. It seems to dad that he will definitely raise his son as a real man, give him everything that was not in his childhood, and avoid all the mistakes of his own father. Good night and good luck, as they say.

❓Reason 3. He does not know how to communicate with a girl.❓
Yes, men are ashamed to admit it, but a man has not yet appeared who would comprehend the female essence. Except for the famous character played by Mel Gibson. Which, by the way, almost went crazy from it. What toys will she like? How to understand how she feels? How to become an authority for your daughter? All these questions can seem scary to dads. But all of them are relevant when a boy appears. In any case, you will have to look for answers to them.

❓Reason 4. He is afraid of responsibility.❓
And this, in my opinion, is also normal. We know from childhood that women are the weaker sex, they need to stand up for them, they need to be protected. And therefore, be responsible. It may subconsciously seem to a young parent that the son will grow up more independent, and less decisions will have to be made for him. I can say with certainty that this is not the case. The restrictions and obligations imposed by society on boys and men are manifold and hardly surmountable.

❓Reason 5. He already has a daughter❓
Can we reproach future fathers for wanting to experience new feelings and emotions while raising a boy? However, let's not forget that progress does not stand still, in the modern world women become presidents, men go on maternity leave, and everyone has the opportunity to realize themselves regardless of gender. Well, almost everyone, but in the future everyone will definitely be able to. Therefore, you should not dramatize if you learned about the imminent appearance of another woman in your family - after all, each child is unique and individual, with his own character traits and temperament.
