Why is it that...

I totally agree RC!! I know tons of sisters who are always at each other's throats and then brothers and sisters who are super close.

I agree. Besides, I grew up with 3 older brothers, and I had a great childhood!

I love hearing this!

Back when I had GD with DS 3 I was hoping for twin girls super desperately or that maybe just maybe DS 4 would be a girl, and then I could have an oopsie girl because I was wanting DD to have a sister. But now that it's all come to pass, I'm actually feeling very fortunate that I didn't get two girls because I don't feel like there will be the girls vs. Mom club or the boys vs. girls club - I just want to have as positive an experience with the little three as I did with the first two (my older sons) without any divisiveness.

I wonder why people think it's their business anyway? Strangers should keep their mouth shut. I'm talking to you, cashier at the grocery store, who keeps saying she can't believe how old I am. Okay, I get it. Now shut up.

My dd and ds2 are becoming sweet little buddies. (And this was the same boy who said he 'didn't like the new baby' when she was born :P). I agree RedCanoe! Why do people stress out about other people's family make-up in general? My BIL said to me that dd was going to be 'the only girl -she needs a sister... every kid should have a sibling the same gender as them'
He has two boys, and they fight like cats and dogs! What makes him so sure that that a kid will even get along with a sibling the same gender as them?

Mocha, your girl doesn't need a sister - she has you to share a female bond with, and her brothers to play with.

People are rude! They expect a "family" consists of a mom, dad, brother and sister. How ignorant!

ARGH Yuzu, some people should be covered in honey and sat on an anthill until they behave themselves!!!

I agree W4D - if someone had said to me years ago - "You will only have 3 kids, mixed genders" I would have picked exactly what I'm going to (hopefully!) have - B, B, G.. even in that order. I'm not saying G, G, B would have been bad because any family makeup will work, I just like the idea of boys having a brother..
