Having all granddaughters

I only had sons and only have granddaughters. The world went from blue to sparkly pink!

I read somewhere that the age of the sperm and the age of the egg when fertilisation occurred could affect the sex of the subsequent child.

But which way round it was. A sperm that sprints to the very recently released eggs produces boys, while the one taking the scenic route while the egg smells the daisies and gently ages produce mainly girls, it or may be the other way round.

Either way, does it matter?

I have a friend who has 2 daughters and each daughter has 2 sons and another friend who has 2 sons and each son has 2 daughters! Me, I'm very lucky I have 2 daughters and a son and one grandson and a one granddaughter - perfect!!

We had two daughters and a son. Not ever heard of pigeon pair - had to Google!!

A doctor I had in Jersey, CI, came from a long line of sons. His wife, from daughters…. He hoped for a daughter but all 5 of their children were boys.
My family tends to have more girls, but both my sisters and I had more sons. Why? Who knows…
I had 2 boys one girl, my sisters a boy each.

I do know a couple who had three daughters, no sons, and each of those daughters has only had daughters too.
But who knows - maybe the next generation will only produce boys, so average things out then.

Our own family has certainly averaged out well so far:
We only had boys
One DiL was one of 3 girls.
Other DiL was one of a pigeon pair.

So far, every single one of the couples formed by these 'children' (only one hasn't started a family yet) has had a pigeon pair, in one case as twins.

Ours are all girls, we have a grandson (of 8) and a GGS (of 4, so far). It's down to the sperm chromosomes.

We got all girls, never found the recipe for boys. Still, we have quite a few grandsons and great grandsons so they must have worked it out. Funny because my husband’s brother had no girls, just five boys. There are a few old wives tales around about why you might have one rather than another. Maybe another thread?

It's a matter of genetics, I guess

Ummm....

Maybe Mother Nature is ensuring that the human race continues.
