Boys born to aggressive mums, Girls born to passive mums

[The Anchor]

I'm aggressive, outspoken, at work I'm considered a bit of a bully (and my coworkers are 90% men!). I have a girl and a boy...but I was dieting like a mad person when I got my girl.

[Wanting-a-girl]

My mother was a terribly short fused person lol always getting really mad at us for basically nothing and she had BBBG and DH's mom is the most kindest person I have ever me like seriously reminds me of someone like mother thressa and she had 3 boys so I don't know.... I have been trying to find connections like crazy... DH's dads parents had 4 of each.... My dads das had two of each... My brothers all had girls first! So I'm not seeing any connection at all! I am pretty short fused normally not the past few months I have three boys so I'm hoping cause I had a total personality change that will work in my fav our for this little bean.... But honestly I am just happy with a healthy baby after having two developmentally delayed (autistic) boys I would just be ecstatic to get to experience normal things with my child..... My first son is perfect but I was young and stupid and didn't appreciate the time.....I wish I could go back.... Don't get me wrong I loved him very much just I was trying to hard on trying to be a teenager omg sorry for the vent flipping hormones

I always thought it was the sperm that determined the gender or is it the environment they go into have a bearing?? Well my SIL is the narkiest b***h you could ever meet and she has a lovely little girl...interesting concept though!

Well, yes and no. Chromosome wise obviously the sperm gets the 'vote'. But it doesn't quite add up that physiologically the way sperm are made, every man has 50-50, yet clearly we have some people with quite a large group all of one gender. So something else is swinging the gender preference.

The theory behind swaying is that the environment of mom can be more receptive to one gender over another. And the theory that Mother Nature favours boys in times of 'plenty' and girls when resources are scarce, since boys are statistically more fragile as embryos and infants. So if your body thinks it's famine time, it'll swing towards producing more girls as girls are 'hardier'. That's the theory anyways, in reality of course it's all up to God and chance but at least we can try to change our habits and see if it makes a difference!

Wow thanks for this, very interesting. I'm learning so much, I am so amazed at what my body's doing right now I can't quite get my head around it! Thanks for the info

I don't think you can really look at personality, like Atomic said it's not what's going on on the outside it's what's going on inside. It's all about the condition of your body when you conceive because we can sit here all day and compare ppl and what they have cuz really there are tons of oppositees with just going by personality. I think there's way more to it not just personality I think it's diet and lifestyle mostly. Honetstly if it was based off personality then ton's of women including me have no chance at out desired gender and I guess that's not what this sites about because it's suppost to help us get out disired gender under any circumstances even if I have all boy's and am aggresive or independent because ton's of women who are like that have girls.

I THINK hormones have a lot to do with personality. I also think they create an environment hospitable to either XY or XX sperm.

Personality is definitely a part of it...
In my own group of friends I can easily identify "boy moms" vs. "girl moms"

[Yuzu]

I am firstborn, feisty, independent and aggressive. I'm kind of a 'guy,' if you know what I mean. My best friends are usually men. But I love Hello Kitty and pink!

I don't see how hormones effect personlaity I have a girl friend who is so quiet and gentle spirited and she has 3 boy's but maybe for some reason she has a high testosterone levels but it doesn't seem to affect her personality. Almost all the girls I know who are boy moms are very quiet and gentle spirited girls and they have boy's. Then i also know a couple girls who are hyper and outgoing and indepenent and they have girls so really I'm convinced it's whats going on in the inside.
