NO ONE is set for one gender I promise - UPDATE

Please read my update a few posts down from this!

You guys have heard me speak in the past about how no one is "doomed" to have all of one gender just because you have 2-3-4 or more of the same already. I told you about my great-grandma who had six girls in a row and then two boys. I've brought up the Duggars and how they have long runs of BG mixed, then a long run of boys, then a long run of girls, longer than any of us have, and how if they'd stopped at the end of any of those long runs you would think "oh those people only make boys/girls".

But it JUST IS NOT TRUE. None of us are "set" to make only a certain gender (not even these people: https://fundamentalists.fandom.com/wiki/Arndt_Family who have 13 boys and one girl) and if we kept having kids forever, we would all have a mix of boys and girls eventually.

I stumbled onto proof of that in the Brennan family of Chicago, Illinois. They had eleven children. The first five were girls, and then the last six were boys! Here's a gallery of pictures of them (they made their kids adorable matching Easter outfits and were a regular holiday feature in the Chicago Tribune during the 40's, 50's, and 60's) http://galleries.apps.chicagotribune...-sew-pictures/

Also, please note the last pic from 1965 in which three babies have been born to the Brennan girls - 2 boys, and one girl. But if the Brennans had stopped at five girls, people would have thought "that family only makes girls" and expected the Brennan daughters to all have girls themselves, but nope. Gender does not stretch across the generations genetically the way people think.

Gender comes down to environment + luck, and those things change over time. We sway NOT because we can't make boys or can't make girls without swaying. We CAN. We sway because most of us don't want to "Duggar it out". We want boost our chances of having our desired gender NOW and not several kiddos down the line.

But no matter what you ALWAYS have a chance of a boy or a girl, I promise. No one is "doomed" to have only boys or only girls. And for those who think "I have TWO boys, this means I can't have a girl" or vice versa, fugetaboutit! No one can possibly be "doomed" after only two boys/girls. It's just not the way it works.

The Schwandt family, who is notorious for having 14 boys, had both a new grandbaby (A GIRL - GENDER DOES NOT RUN IN FAMILIES AND IS NOT GENETIC) https://www.today.com/parents/michig...arents-t130854 and a 15th baby recently...

AND the 15th Schwandt is a girl!!!
