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 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' :mad:Quote:

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..

Favourite comment from friend of DH on passing me his new born baby girl to cuddle, you should have a girl liz.....doing my best ;-0 but sometimes it's hard not to cry if only life were so simple!
