Man reveals 'boys only' baby pact he made with wife

A woman has been left in stitches after her brother revealed he's going to have a son because he made a 'boys only' pact with his wife. The sister explained how her brother and his wife have been trying to conceive - but, despite not yet being pregnant, they already 'know' the baby's gender.

Her "delusional" brother believes his future child is going to be a male - simply because he made his wife verbally agree to "only have boys". The sister said on Reddit : "I looked at him puzzled and commented 'You know you do not get a say right?'

"He said yes but both him and his wife agree to only have boys… as if that agreement determines the sex of the child and not the speed of his sperm."

Rather than explaining basic biology to him, she decided to watch and wait for him to come to the realisation on his own. But, she is still waiting, The Mirror reports.

"I hope he only has girls. I feel like that is his karma to have a house full of women so he can learn to be a better man," she added. "I love my brother and he white knights for feminist issues. He's super progressive so is his wife which was why this was a bit startling."

The woman went on to say that while her brother "tries and he rages at overt sexism", he is "actually quite sexist in his core". She added: "But seriously 'only boys' - he's delusional."

While most users couldn't help but laugh at his lack of understanding, others shared a thought for his possible future daughter. One user said: "Is your brother Henry VIII."

Another user added: "Actually, I hope he only has boys. I wouldn’t wish a daughter to have a father who specifically didn't want her to be a woman." A third user said: "Maybe they shouldn‘t have kids at all."

One more user added: "Don’t wish girls on him to fix him. That’s the message too many girls get and it’s not their job to fix clueless men."
