    Probably a girl.

    I think a girl would be easier to deal with, maybe except the 14-18 year old stage but then they seem to be a bit more mature and calm down whereas boys can be proper bellends for a lot longer, where all they want to do is go out and get drunk. (Speaking from experience :awesome:)

    That said, I'd like a son to take out and play football with.

    I wouldn't really care on way or the other, but push comes to shove I'd say a boy, purely because of how bitchy and intolerable teenage girls can be.

    A little girl! They're so cute! And I'd love to buy her cute dresses to dress her in and do her hair and stuff. And then, when she's older, help her do her make up <3

    Plus, I only have sisters, so it'd be weird if I had a boy, wouldn't know what to expect.

    I absolutely love little girls and think I'd be suited to parenting a girl (as weird as that might sound)... but since my little brother was born, I've realised I adore little boys as well. I ended up voting for a boy.

    theres pros and cons for both, be it factual or stereotypical

    probably girl, mainly because of mysterious the opposite sex is... also, a baby girl is cuter than a baby boy
    though for a safe bet, it would be a boy...

    A boy because I'm like Henry VIII who would like a son. Although, I wouldn't really mind either way.

    Boy. Usually easier to deal with between 13-18. Also, who else is gonna carry on the family name?
