If you have girl then boy…

[Garethkeenansstapler]

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!

I’m one of 3 which fits your theory - girl boy boy

My parents have - girl (me!) boy boy

I have girl boy and then stopped, but exh has girl boy (our children) and now another boy. He’s having a fourth though!

My parents had Girl, Boy, twin boys

Their parents had Girl, Boy, Boy, Boy
And Boy, Girl, twin girls

One aunt and uncle (only ones two have one of each sex and then more) had Boy, Girl, Girl, Girl, Girl

The really huge population studies confirm that it never strays far from 50/50. If you already have 2 the same, you're marginally more likely to have the same again for example, but it's not a huge change from 50/50. There are then some changes around times of huge impact such as war.

But it's 50/50 ish for the general population on a normal day. It's like anything on MN though. Ask about Chinese charts or old wives tales or patterns you've seen in friends, and people flock to confirm it. Or post on aibu and people come along to tear apart your hypothesis, life choices and grammar to boot.

Not a parent but my mother had girl, boy, girl.
