Why I wanted a son.

[@kristabyne]

I work in Canada for CPS essentially (we call it something else here). Your girls are so fortunate to have you both as parents. Ced, if a boy isn't in the cards for your family in the future I can assure you there are programs in your community where you be the shining star of mentorship for boys and young men whose lives you would most definitely impact in an extremely profound way. You're already doing that for men who watch you in this forum and I know with your heart, creative mind and trust in God anything is possible.

[@nataliemarshall7158]

I was just thinking the very same thing! And even if he doesn’t go with a mentorship program - which I think would be a great shame- he is still going to have an impact (outside of his awesome KZbin channel) on all of the boys that will be in his daughters lives over years. Class mates, team mates, neighbourhood kids, birthday parties etc etc it might even go unnoticed by most himself included but I guarantee all of the kids, boys or girls, will register in one way or another that there is something different about him, they will see or feel his pure heart even if they don’t know to call it that. And they will want to be around him and be like him.

Ced, dealing with the death of my mother this week but I’ve been watching you and Charlotte. I saw the recent video and when the sex of the child was revealed, I thought I heard Charlotte say, I’m sorry. WHAT!!?? why would she feel compelled to say that? I know completely that life has no assurances. The day before I lost my mom, I was going to buy her items for her living room and she had an appointment scheduled with a neurologist. It doesn’t matter now. For you Ced… it doesn’t matter bro, it doesn’t matter. Healthy, productive children that give back more to the world than they take out.. that’s important.

[@Cedthompson]

I’m so sorry to hear you lost your mother bro. I hope you are finding closure and healing and I’ll be praying that for you. I believe Charlotte said sorry because she knew I had a strong desire to have a boy not because she felt like she did anything wrong. For me, it does matter that I want to have boy. It’s something I wish to have but doesn’t mean It’ll happen and the more honest I am with myself about it the better for me. Appreciate the comment brethren and I’ll genuinely be praying for you. Much love ❤️

As daughter number three there was a pressure on my parents to keep trying until they had a boy. My parents were set on three girls and were done having babies HOWEVER my brother was born a short year after I was. Just know that if this last baby is your last the next best thing will be when they get married and you have their spouses and then their children. You are a phenomenal dad to your babies and they are so incredibly lucky to have you.

[@Cedthompson]

Thank you so much for sharing this Heather! ❤️

[@Iluvchknz]

I feel every bit of this. I’m 20 years out from having my last baby, but… I’m a mom of boys and when I found out this baby was a boy and I knew he was going to be my last my emotions really went through it. I felt guilty for having them, but I didn’t hide it. I cried and I was sad. My husband let me be sad. He didn’t tell me I was crazy or that it was abnormal. I mean I obviously loved my two little boys and this new baby, but there was just a finality to the fact that I wasn’t going to be a mom to a girl. My husband actually bought me a book called “OhBoy, OHBoy, OHBoy!!!”. It was written by a mom that had three boys. It was so funny that I died laughing, but that only happened after I stopped rereading the first chapter of the book which honestly took me a few weeks. The first chapter was about grieving… grieving the loss of the daughter she was never going to have. Letting go of all the plans we make in our heads for this thing we imagine is going to happen. I cried an ugly cry every time I read it. I was grieving and it needed to be done. My husband was horrified that this book he bought which was meant to make laugh and find my happiness again about bringing new life in to the world had actually made me more sad. The book actually did the job he intended because once I moved passed the 1st chapter I couldn’t stop laughing. Boys are hoot. I’ve enjoyed being a boy mom. Although, the other day I was talking to my husband about something that must have been related to having kids and I made the statement that sometimes I still feel a little sad about never getting the opportunity to be a “girl” mom. He looked at me and said I know and I wanted that for you too, but have you seen how hard it is out there for girls today. He’s not wrong, but the world is crazy for everyone. Sorry for the long response but apparently I needed to get it out. So as a mom to boys now in young adulthood figuring out life I find myself daydreaming about their future wives who I sincerely hope to bring into my life like the daughters I never had. I have such a wonderful relation with MIL. Fingers crossed that when grand babies start I get a granddaughter. I say all this to you because, while it is more acceptable by societal norms for me as a woman to have had these feelings, you are also allowed to too! Just process and grieve if you need to. It’s healthy and ok. It also doesn’t mean you love your little girls any less. Love for them and sadness for what might not be can exist together.

Wonderfully written 💜🥺 Best wishes for you & your family 💜

[@BuschVentures]

My goodness this is my husband and I in reverse especially that part about never getting to be a girl mom (insert boy dad/having a son). It resonates with me as the mom because we BOTH wanted a son as our 3rd child. After 2 miscarriages at various parts of our conceiving journey (I don't know what else to call it; I don't mean IVF), the last pregnancy was different in every way so I knew it had to be a boy. Wrong. I cried so hard when we learned we were having ANOTHER daughter 😢. Fast forward to the near death experience delivering our 3rd child (emergency C-section at 32 weeks, baby had no heartbeat and wasn't breathing). I knew from that high-risk pregnancy that my emotions couldn't handle another pregnancy. However, I was willing to sacrifice in the hopes a 4th child would be a son. No more pregnancies, but even 10 years later my husband hasn't fully healed from not having a son. I feel you 100% in that maybe if any of our daughters get married I'll have the ability to love a son as if he were my own. Thank YOU for your raw feelings and emotions of your experience and your husband's thoughts ❤

[@creating1_c1999]

I felt that. When you mentioned that Char was experiencing a different carry experience than with Lucca and Maddie, I was anxious for that boy. It's a harem for you kid, and I love watching you with the girls. These little ladies are abundantly blessed to have you at the forefront of their lives. Boys will come into your lives as they always have and you will dispense your wisdom upon them. Your assignment has not changed. God hears the desires of your heart. You will raise great men.

Ced, I was at work watching you speak on wanting a son and going into depth. When I say I was at working crying. Your reasons on wanting a son was never broken down that way. Normally, you hear men say to carry the last name. You can always adopt a child to instill these values into. Mentoring these same values into young men who father is absent in their life for whatever reason. I've seen the growth in you and Sir the Lord is not through with you. Thank you for showing us how and why a man should want to have a son. Much Love

[@Cedthompson]

Wow Shabrette, thank you so much for sharing this. I think most people thought I wanted to have a boy for the reason you stated and because I played football. But, it isn’t. I just wanna raise a good man. Thank you for the love and kind words. Much love ❤️

[@azedel7151]

There’s no stigma if a woman wants to have a daughter. So why should there be one if a man wants a son? It’s not unusual or uncommon to want that. That doesn’t change the love you have for your girls. You’re a good father and husband. If you never have a son and you wish to do so, you can still mentor or coach boys who don’t have fathers and still help in the process of raising good men. Congratulations on baby girl 3!

I resonate with a lot of your reasoning as to why you wanted to have a son, that was my thought process too. Eventually I came round to the idea of being a ‘girl dad’ until one day my wife told me we were expecting again 😭. I went as far as choosing girl names ahead of time because I just wasn’t going to go through that cycle of anticipation again. Long story short, we found out the gender and it was a boy 🥹 (conceived during the peak of the pandemic). Your story is still being written! Much love to you guys ♥️🙏🏾

As a man while I was young and in college I learned a lot about myself and what it took to be the young man my dad wanted me to be. But when I had my first child which was a daughter it made me realize my purpose in life and what I was supposed to do first, I needed to understand the essence of being a good father. And I think having a daughter first made me understand all of my emotions to raise my son. And to teach him all the emotions of what a man has because I was that representation of a man for him and I needed all of my emotions to teach him. Also the movie Moonlight was great. I too was very lucky to have my father in my life for all 53 years before he passed. And when he passed my mom said to me, “you should feel blessed not sad because you had him in your life for a long time, and in our neighborhood you were the only one to have a dad”.

Hi Ced you are an amazing husband and father. You are right by having your little ladies they get to see how a man should love and treat a woman. They get to see mommy and daddy work as a team and also life is not perfect there will be ups and downs but as a family you work together always. Nothing wrong with your desire to have a son by having one is a different kind of legacy. The bond between a father and daughter are different but still a bond of love. Keep doing what you do. You are still growing and evolving. Thank you for being real, authentic and sharing your journey with us. Much love ❤️

Ced your reasons for having a boy you can tell were honest through the emotion in which you spoke plus actions we’ve seen your growth as a person through your videos and how you took in Marcus it was a short period but still you showed a lot with how you’d handle a son while he was with you guys and how much he’s grown as a person if your family does try again one more time I hope you do get the son you’re hoping for but if not we all know you love your girls with everything you have

[@AshleySmith-yq1up]

Awww Ced, this was such a beautiful and honest response as to why you wanted a son. I know that we all wanted you to have a son because it's like "every man wants/needs a son," but I've never ever heard a man say he wanted to raise another good man. It was a different perspective that was honestly refreshing to hear but I know we all can't wait until your newest angel comes to you. I believe your desire is there because it's God's desire for you to have that son and He will fulfill that for you, it just might take awhile. It may be the 4th (or 5th hehe) baby. You have the perfect spirit, insight, and perspective for your daughters and as you said -- they are helping to equip you in what it will take for you to raise your son. Continue to trust God's timing and His plan! I'm so so happy for you guys and I'm excited for baby girl's birth!! 💙 much love!!

Thank you for your transparency as always. I think I’m reminded of when you say Desires in our hearts, I do believe the Lord here’s us it’s just about his timing and being able to sit in what he’s blessed us with already. For me I dreamt years ago I had twins and honestly I had let go of that thinking it’s not what Gos has for me. But then after you speaking about a desire for a boy, My perspective changed to hold on to Gods promises and when he’s ready that desire will come a reality. May not look like how I imagine (meaning I might not birth them myself) but he’s faithful and just and keeps his word. Thank you Ced again for the reminder, you ministered to my heart indeed.

I watch to listen, laugh, cry, understand, and learn. I totally understand what you're saying and with much respect it's how you truly feel. I know for sure lots of men in your situation feels the same way. My son who's in a relationship with a young women for over 8 years who have two girls felt the same exact way that's helping her raise her girls. When they were expecting their first child together, they both were in high hope of a BOY, heck we all were. So the pressure was on which so not fair at all. We all had to Stop and realizing it's not up to us period. It's like playing the mega million, no one knows who's going to have the winning ticket until numbers are reveled. It's always been clear to me, you love your role of being a Girl DAD. You and Charlette makes beautiful girl babies. Each one looks like you both. It's natural for you to want a boy who would reflect YOU because you already know what that's like. I think your meanings for wanting a SON is beautiful and a normal emotion to have. You have to raise Girls differently then Boy's because they are different. You heard the saying a woman can't raise a boy to be a man. You have to already know you are very blessed to be in this position your in. You are already raising boy's to be Strong, Black Men with the content you share to the world. There are men who are young fathers with son's and daughters who watch your video's who wasn't blessed with father's in their home. Because of YOU, you are doing just that with each message you put out to the world for us to see. You may not have your heavenly son here to experience all that with but he's watching with much smiles, his father do what he does Best. You are an Awesome Girl dad, and mostly your already a Boy day. Continue to be organically YOU. As your family continues growing, you will have that honor of having a Son in GOD's time. Take Care and continue to be forever blessed. Love you guys.

No matter what people think we as parents are just supposed to be happy and joyful as if gender disappointment isn’t real.

[@ct580]

You are an awesome dad. There still may be a son in your future. Sometimes blessings come differently than we expect....you are a good mentor to Marcus....don't be surprised. 16yrs after my first child was born GOD blessed me with a wonderful newborn son and the way he came into my life was a wonderful blessing. I really enjoyed raising him....don't be surprised at what may come your way. Blessings

[@laurasilva3455]

Much love and respect for this video. Charlotte and them girls are very lucky to have you. You're the realest they come

[@briefeliciano227]

Hello Ced. Just know your little boy isn't gone he's waiting. At that time when he came he wasn't ready yet and went back and gave the opportunity for his third big sister to come. But with no doubt in mind he will come and be fully ready to come back too you both strong healthy and brave. It's all about timing with him and he will be your fourth child. Just have to wait a little longer and he'll come running. 😊❣️🙏🏼 sending nothing but love blessings and positive energy for you and your whole family. Yall got this 👍

Congratulations Ced, you will be an awesome dad to baby girl #3. That's God's will for your life, it's only natural for you to want a son, but you're one cool dad. Continue to stay committed, love n blessings always. Family God's greatest gift 💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️

Much love Betty!! ❤️❤️

[@christinabrown3322]

Nothing wrong with wanting a son and feeling sad about having another daughter it’s normal. When I found out I was having my second baby I was so hoping and praying for my little girl I had a son already and really wanted a girl. When we found out we were having our second son I cried and was just sad, but then i came around and was just so happy and blessed to have another healthy little boy coming into our lives. I’m happy you shared this with us.

[@rayhenderson9588]

Just found out I’m going to be a first time dad! Your vids are definitely helping me understand the process and sacrifice of fatherhood. Along with Gods word, these videos are a gem on my journey to help my wife through her pregnancy and beyond! Thanks brother! God bless

[@shynepo6296]

Congrats brother! Having healthy beautiful children is a blessing.

[@Cedthompson]

Much love Shyne! ❤️

[@sinethembaspelman]

Reminded me of Jackie Hill Pery and her husband's testimony on the Perry's of being blessed with girls successively even when on the third attempt they thought they would have a boy. They eventually did get a boy.

[@theogstasimay]

I’m in tears because you are so beautiful. Your heart is so big and your spirit is blessed. You may not have a birth son, but maybe you can be a love father to a young man. The road is not ending, life may bring you to that day. God bless you all.

[@Cedthompson]

Thank you for your love and kind words Stacy! Much love ❤️

[@titushenson1707]

Thankyou! For being brave and being a man. Sharing your deep true feelings to help other fathers understand what they may be going through.

[@nimmaegun2444]

When you said you'd would have wanted a son, I knew it was because you wanted an opportunity to raise a whole man, one who would be comfortable with showing his emotions as well as being strong. I pray you do get the privilege some day as God wills.

[@kevintangakou3474]

Thank you for this video! The way you articulated your thought process/feelings was very helpful for so many men out there especially us black men, who are not always taught how to deal with our emotions. Everything you said was on point and never thought of it that way how your daughters prepared you to be ready to raise a son. Definitely a very inspiring video, God bless you man and your beautiful family! Your channel is blessed 🙏🏾

[@mylovelydream8828]

When I was pregnant with my first baby I also had a dream it was a boy, but it actually ended up being a girl. I think sometimes our dreams are just part of our subconscious thoughts. Also, I read something about an old wives tale (not that I fully believe those) but that if u dream about the gender of the baby it's usually the opposite gender of what u dreamed. Jus wanted to put things in perspective. Ultimately, I believe God decides what gender a baby will be, the word says He knew you before He formed you in your mother's womb. Every life was purposely created. Please don't let the "what ifs" get you down, understandbly we are all human and it's natural, but just know God is in control and He knows what will fit perfectly and in His timing. Delay is not denial. Blessings to you all 🙏

[@AnnaM4117]

Lol “can you touch noses?” And they did just that 😂😂

[@stacey281]

Wow , I really liked this video. I feel like God blesses us and gives us what He thinks is best for us. I have two boys and my heart dropped when I found out I was having another boy because I wanted a girl. It’s ok to be disappointed, I loved your outlook you took your disappointment and handled it so well. I appreciate your honestly and transparency. That moonlight discussion about fatherhood even though I’m not a dad I felt that. It’s so wonderful to see parents who are not just having kids who accept their role and take it seriously. God bless you and your family. Wishing you and the family the best ❤️

[@Cedthompson]

Thank you for the love and kind words Stacey! Much love ❤️

[@allthingswavy6420]

I'm new to your channel but this video really touched me. I wanna say that not all girls are "girly" girls--I was a tomboy and, after my brother left home, I kinda became the boy in the family :-) Aaand I also wanna say, which you clearly already know :-), it's really ok to be sad, to feel the disappointment you feel. That sadness is not about being ungrateful, it's about believing that you won't have an opportunity to share what you see and feel with another male. You're amazing!

[@deeperry518]

Congratulations CED& Charlotte So happy it's a girl 3x =more love #daddysgirls #girlDad..jus so excited for y'all and the girls ..she's a blessing to the fam can't wait to meet her I'm a Day1 OG So I been her thru the marriage,birthday&still gona be here MUCH LOVE

[@Cedthompson]

Thank you so much for the love and kind words OG! Much love ❤

[@deeperry518]

CED my feelings r hurting for u bc I know how bad u wanted a boy but it's GOD'S PLAN BUT ASK AND U SHALL RECEIVE #4 A BOY DONT GIVE UP U WILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT UR GOAL IS #GODSPLAN #BABYBOY-2024

[@vlogher]

I want to validate your feelings Ced, it’s completely understandable & normal to feel how you feel. I’m a boy mom & always have those thoughts of how I could raise a daughter to navigate this world. However when I delivered my boys and saw those precious faces, I knew even if I could’ve rewinded time & chose a girl I wouldn’t. I love what I was given too much. Prayerfully one day you’ll get your son, or a son-in-law that you can impact in a great way. Congratulations again to your family, God bless!!

[@Cedthompson]

This is beautiful VH! Thank you so much gif sharing. Much love ❤️

[@brandyebias-lemont8404]

I think you have done a great job with your little cousin as a father figure and will mentor plenty of young men into being suitable for adulthood. Cheers to the new addition and Lord willing (4) will be a prince. Health and long life to your family. Shalom!

[@AbbyDimpless23]

Oh Ced, I’ve been watching you for a while now. It’s been such a blessing to watch your family grow. I can tell you- we have 3 girls + one boy in that order. We also miscarried- but it was twice and it was all prior to our little prince. I also had dreams of our Angel babies being boys. My husband and I wanted a boy since we started having babies. But let me tell you, those girls. WOW. They have marked us. Shaped us- to be the best parents we can be to bring this little prince into the world. It’s like the led the way. 🤍 Thank you for being transparent- it’s completely normal to have gender disappointment. Many blessings to you + your family. ☺️

[@msmae9]

Ced, you're a great girl dad and God has prepared you and blessed you with two beautiful and healthy sweet girls. Congratulations to you, Charlotte and the girls. Many blessings and love to you all 🙏❤️🍼

[@Cedthompson]

Thank you Ms. Mae!! ❤️❤️

[@mercedesdaniels6224]

So this video hit home for me I’m a boy mom and I always wanted a girl and I still feel sad 😞 I will never get a girl but I love my boys so much what has helped me is my husband giving a girl puppy 🐶

[@remake1191]

A high school friend of mine had his 5 girls with his wife before baby boy came through last year. Praying baby 4 for y’all will be a boy though ❤️❤️

[@kp02042]

You are an amazing father! Your honesty is refreshing to hear and understanding the reasoning behind that desire makes so much sense. I wanted a boy for you all so badly as well, but you all are truly so blessed and those babies are blessed to have such a beautiful parental unit who love and support them unconditionally. On the bright side, these little ladies will know their worth and won't put up with anything less than what they deserve because they have a father who will be THE example of what a man is and an even better understanding of healthy relationships because of what you and Charlotte have taught and shown them. Even if she is the one to complete your family, all is well because she will be so loved and adored by everyone and the bond those sisters will have as they grow together will be everything! 🥰 Congratulations on another beautiful princess!!!

[@Cedthompson]

Thank you so much for the love and kind words! Much love ❤️

[@shamikasmith69]

Thanks so much for being courageous and speaking your truth. Charlotte I heard say sorry as well, but I know you will love your girls the same as your desire for a boy. I commend you. I appreciate your honesty and recognizing that your feelings and emotions matter as well. Congratulations to you all.

[@makeuphappy1]

😭😭😭😭😭♥️ Ced you have grown so much and praying you & your family continue to grow in Jesus! You are so Honest and vulnerable. Thank you for that. Charlotte thank you for being vulnerable as a strong women and being faithful and imperfectly loving to your husband . More importantly just to express as a family in Jesus Christ keep working hard as a husband, wife and family that glorifies Christ in all ❤️🙏 Blessings to you and your Family!

[@Cedthompson]

Thank youuuu ❤️

[@bettyjohnson2357]

Thanks for sharing your honesty !

[@yalondakemp9137]

I just wanted to say, my husband and I had 3 girls and our 4th was our boy. So there is hope😊 Much love!

[@Cedthompson]

Hoppeeeee!! ❤️❤️

[@vanessagrier248]

Hi Ced, I watch this video twice, you are a great girl dad, you are a great example how a man should treat a woman, once again congratulation on baby girl number 3, much love

[@ldecker0129]

I was definitely pulling for a boy this time but watching your family grow and seeing how you and Charlotte are raising strong beautiful girls is such a blessing. Always next time ❤️😀😜 🙏

[@pn3678]

You’re doing a Kobe repeat, you’re blessed 🙏🏾❤️

[@angeltree.]

I’m feeling slightly emotional hearing you explain this. I’m glad to hear that you are “both/and” in your reasoning. I def understanding the stigma of wanting a particular gender for a long time and people thinking you’re disappointed the baby is not that. On the other hand, I think my emotionality comes from the Lord being in this so heavily, like almost the presence of God being so tangible when you talk about Him and your family. The wisdom coming out of you is so potent. So thanks for sharing and may God continue to bless you all.

[@darfranst]

I'm so proud of you Ced. I am also a girl dad having four daughters. but I can say that if you are up for it you can help a young male by either mentoring one or by adopting one if your budget can afford it. honesty is important and I am very happy that you are sharing this sort of thing the fact that you are strong enough to share it means you have more than enough capacity in you to share it with another who may be less fortunate and change their life forever. just a thought.

[@tabitharendon3050]

I appreciate you making this video as I had mixed feelings about the gender reveal video. Your emotions and feelings about having a boy and raising a good man are valid and ALL normal. My concern was Charlotte’s reaction to you after finding out it was a girl and feeling the need to say “I’m sorry” to you. All relationships require work and you and your family are willing to share your lives with the world in hopes of making a difference in someone’s life (and you do and we thank you). Keep working on yourself and and your family and we will keep praying for you and your family. Meanwhile you can live your dream of helping to raise a good man (as I’m sure you already know) by mentoring in your community. Again, thank you for sharing your lives!!!

[@donnagordon4151]

Cedrick you have it locked. Honesty is the best policy. Nuff love.

[@shabrettefreeman6370]

Since you played football, I can see why she chose the stadium. I definitely thought it was a cute idea and was starting to think it was a boy, but thought it would be obvious by kicking the football. Congratulations again on this beautiful blessing. You are a wonderful father. I love watching you and Charlotte with the girls. They are so sweet and just a joy to watch. Stay blessed Fam.

[@letishabrooks7258]

Congrats Cedric 👏 your raising great daughters that will eventually bring great husbands if you and Charlotte decide not to have anymore! Be blessed and Be well! I am a mother of two young men, I never had daughters and now I have two wonderful young ladies in my life and its amazing and my life is truly blessed and enriched because of them!

[@tamiko_8369]

I agree with you! Nothing wrong with how you feel! Keep it G!

[@valeriagutierrez-cruz1341]

Ced, thanks for being so honest. I know this is tough for you and I can understand your desire for wanting a boy. I could tell you were there but weren’t there at the stadium when you kicked the ball. I really wanted you guys to have a boy because it would be a beautiful experience yall haven’t had. Keep your head up, Ced! My dad is a girl dad, 3 daughters to be exact and he loves us but I know he always wanted a son and that’s okay I never have doubted his love for me because he had a desire for a son. God is with you. God bless!
