Mama of girls only

[Yufnkc]

Hey mums

I have 2 girls 4 and 2 and to be honest I have to really dig deep to find moment sof joy throughout the day. All my mum friends have one of each gender and I just feel like they are forever gloating about the beautiful bond that their children share whereas mine fight day and night even in their sleep. I've posted in here before that they compete with each other for me, they never play together refuse to look at each other most days. This mostly comes from my eldest. My dd1 actually adores her older sister but because of being constantly fobbed off she's developed an angry defensive trait as well.

I guess what I'm really hoping for is to see if there are other mums who have this issue? It's it harder raising one gender alone? I feel that there is too much oestrogen around. I always wonder what it would have been like having a girl and boy.

I have two girls but it's not the same at all I'm afraid as there is a 14 year age gap between them!

However, I was brought up as one of 4. There were two girls and two boys. We all fought a lot! I shared a room with my sister and we argued all the time. But, she didn't have a great relationship with my brothers either so I'm not sure if maybe she was just a more 'difficult to get along with' person.

They might become closer as they get older. I don't think the gender is the problem, but their individual personalities clashing most probably.

Lol no. Just no.
It is not about girls/boys. Some siblings get on. Some don’t. There is no correlation to whether they’re girls or boys.
My boys get on incredibly well (but obviously not al the time.) My brother and I were best of friends and worst of enemies.
The girls next door hate each other.
My nieces are obsessed with each other.
All siblings fight - your friends are lying 😂

Lol you're both so right it probably is down to personality, I just feel that with having two girls there is a lot more fighting because of common interests, everything is quite pink and frilly with my two, eldest very competitive always wants the prettiest dress or shiniest hair clip than her sister, I doubt she would be jealous of the shorts and tshirts or lack of hair clips in a boy

I have a girl and a boy and they most certainly do not have a ‘beautiful bond’ 😂
Have you considered that maybe your friends are focussing heavily on the positives and ignoring the times that their oldest attempted to mash their youngest’s face into the sofa?

It’s about the individual, not the gender. I was much closer to my sisters than my brother growing up.

I hated my sister (there’s five years between us) until I turned 30 and had my son- she’s now my best friend..... hope things get better but don’t put pressure on it.
