If you have girl then boy…

What came after? If you have 3 kids that is! All the families I know who had girl then boy, had another boy after! So I’m putting my theory to the test!

Not me personally, but families I know with 3 (or more) children are:

Girl, boy, boy
Girl, boy, boy
Boy, boy, boy
Girl, boy, girl, boy
Boy, girl, girl, girl

Girl, boy, girl, boy, boy

I have girl, boy, girl. But I remember thinking the exact same thing when I was pregnant with DC 3- I could think of so many families of 3, and they were all either same sex, or GBB/BGG or GGB/ BGG. I still feel like it seems unusual to meet someone who has GBG!

Boy. Girl. Boy. Would love to see what would be next but not doing it 😂😂

georgarina · 17/05/2023 21:12

I know -
Girl boy boy
Girl boy girl
Girl boy girl boy

I have boy girl girl (but was absolutely convinced DD2 was a boy)

MrFlobby · 17/05/2023 21:12

I have girl, girl, girl.

Most I know with 3 either have 3 boys or 3 girls actually.

Are the words ‘boy’ & ‘girl’ starting to look like a weird formation of letters and not real words after reading this thread or am I alone 🤯

SoAndSoSaidSo · 17/05/2023 21:13

My sister is B,G,G
Me and my other sister doesn't have girls and my brothers have no children.

My own siblings B,B,G,G,G

Semantic satiation! Was just sat here repeating the word 'boy' to myself thinking it sounded so weird 😂

PinkButtercups · 17/05/2023 21:22

I'm one of 5 and it goes B/G/G/G/G.

I have 3 children and mine are B/G/B.

My youngest are G/B twins.

It seems so unusual doesnt it! I need to count the responses to work out the results of the straw poll!

Dss and his wife had boy girl girl. They were told her endometriosis would make conception difficult. The first two were within 18 months and they felt blessed and complete. Number 3 was a total surprise 4 years after!

KeeefBurtain · 17/05/2023 22:00

I have girl, boy, boy, girl.

the pattern in our family of those that have 3 or more seems to be 2 of the same sex then the 3rd is different. Only me and my mum (who had 4 girls) have had different.

tiger2691 · 17/05/2023 22:20

Girl, boy, boy, twin girls for me.
