Having all granddaughters

Our 5 year old grandson is one of only four boys in a class full of girls! ? Must be the local water! ?

I did laugh at this. Henry the eighth was so angry about having daughters. He divorced and beheaded wives because of it. Of course, back then, they did not realize that it was his sperm that decided on the sex of the baby....

DH was the last male child in his family and the last hope to carry on the family name. Our three grandchildren are all boys so hopefully the name will carry on for a while yet.

My DDs husband is one of 6 sons. All his siblings have had sons. My daughter is a little overdue with her little boy. But I’m ever hopeful she might have a little girl… I want her to have the joy that she’s given me.

I have four grandsons with high functioning autism. Three of them are grown and the other is still young. Are they having all sons, all daughters or vice versa. If I have great grandchildren from any of them, are they more likely to conceive sons?

We had a girl ?. Then our Daughter had two girls ??, My Sister had two girls, one Daughter had 2 boys, and the other one a girl.

Reading these posts, I can't help feeling you are all so lucky, whatever the sex of your GCs.

I have one GC, for whose existence I am deeply grateful for, thanks to IVF. There cannot be any more, as my daughter's husband now has a terminal illness. Which makes fostering or adoption not a choice they can make.

My other AC and partner have no children.

Sorry if this adds a sad note to a light hearted conversation! Love and good luck to you all xx

On my DH side of the family our DD was the first girl in 5 generations.

I'm a 7th daughter no brothers ,we mostly have one boy one girl.

Both set of g.parents were very clever in having equal numbers, Dad's parents, two of each, Mum's parents five of each ( at least that was what survived to adulthood).
My parents had me and my brother.
So......I broke that mould giving birth to four daughters and one son.
One of those daughters managed to get back into the equal numbers (two of each), the other three all gave birth only to girls. (My son and his wife chose not to have any).

Not that it matter, provided each baby is wanted, healthy and loved. I so wanted a girl with my first one, - that was my son. Then after four girls, adopted a second son.

We have a good mix but has a good mix of children too. And they seem to come on waves - we had three sons, followed by three daughters! We now have three grandsons , followed by two granddaughters and three more grand babies due in the next six months - so it will be interesting to see the pattern of our baby boom! It will be a very busy winter here
