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!

The families I know with three kids or more are

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

Can't think of any more!

I'm pregnant with #3 and haven't found out yet

My eldest is a girl, 2nd is a boy...

Will update when I know!

My mother had 9 and it went like this....

Girl, boy, girl (me) boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl.

Although the last girl is now a boy!

Bbb
On the radio the other day they said girl was originally used for boys then both sexes. Agree it doesn't look real anymore!
Also why do we say b g and not male/ female for babies? Just musing, I should go to bed.

You know when you read the same word over and over it starts looking weird and stops making sense?
I’m getting that for the word girl 😂

Girl, boy, boy

I hasn't thought of the birth order aspect but did fine the split interesting because my mum had:
Girl, boy,boy
My maternal grandmother had:
Boy, boy, girl
My paternal grandmother had:
Boy, girl, boy

So I sort of felt that my third was destined to be a boy!

AliceMcK · 17/05/2023 23:48

My family

A = Aunt, U = Uncle

Us - Boy, Girl, Boy
A1 - Boy, girl, Boy

I’m third, the girl born after my sister and brother.

BGB.
Which was an error because G is so adept at playing the middle child card - magnified by the only girl card. Fml.

xprincessxjanetx · 18/05/2023 00:13

I have 6 children currently and I am pregnant now with twins!

They have gone...

Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl...

and Twin 1 is a Boy and Twin 2 is a Girl!! So I have had it alternated 8 times in a row...amazing!

NeighbourhoodonWatch · 18/05/2023 16:44

Sister had girl twins then another girl.

Garethkeenansstapler · 17/05/2023 19:37

Oh that’s sort of what I meant, if 1 and 2 are different sexes, number 3 always seems to be the same sex as number 2!

Obviously, this isn't the case.

We had boy, girl, boy.

JustDanceAddict · 18/05/2023 17:27

Not me as I don’t have 3 but others I know - family & friends :
girl, boy, boy
Girl boy boy girl
girl girl girl boy
boy girl boy
boy boy boy x2
girl boy boy
Boy girl girl
girl boy boy x 2

Maybe there’s something in it…
