Is it normal to have one kid each?

So DH and I have DD and a DS. Our house is totally split team girls, team boys.
Is this normal?
If we have a disagreement my DD is straight to my defence and my DS to his dad.
I have girls night outs with friends and my daughter loves the idea of this.
My DH plays football and pub 2x week so again with the lads.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, is it normal?

YANBU- Its normal, they will grow out of it

YABU- it's not healthy/ normal you need to do something about it.

Yes, from your opening post, I assumed your dc were quite a bit older than that.

I think that it’s not unusual for the males in the house to go to a football match while the women go for lunch and shopping

It is in my world, and also at the football I go to - at all levels. Plenty of women there.

Yep my cousins are massively into football, so they all go. The girls are not excluded.

we don’t like football, so no one goes. Dh doesn’t drag the boys to football because that’s what boys do.

I don’t like shopping, so dh takes girls and boys. He has a better interest in fashion.

i like activities and sports, anyone comes with if they want, regardless of sex.

will your dh try and get dd interested in football or will he just assume she prefers lunch and shopping? That’s where the problem lies.
