Someone recently told me that bossy women are more likely to have sons. (Something to told with extra testosterone killing girl sperms ???) I am v.v bossy and have lovely son. What do you reckon? Any bossyboots out there with daughters?

I bought myself a mug once that said "I'm not bossy...it's just that my ideas are better."

I have two boys.

It's rubbish though

What a load of baloney.

No, I think you must have misread/heard it. It undoubtedly said "intelligent mothers only have sons".

Says she with 3 boys .....

My mother is very bossy. Makes Alan Sugar look like a laid-back hippy (actually she's charming with it, unlike him, but YKWIM). She has two girls. I am quite bossy but not in the same league and have one son.

I am a shrinking violet and have two daughters, so I'd say it's true

It doesn't actually make any sense though, does it? Because gender is determined by the father. It's down to him whether it's an X or a Y - and entirely by chance.

(I am a bit bossy though).

Hah! to MI. Strangely the words 'boo', 'goose', 'wouldn't' and 'say' never come to mind when I hear your name!

Sounds like total rubbish to me (she says bossily). I'm veerry bossy and have a girl and a boy.

I remember reading a study that said people in poorer circumstances were more likely to conceive girls.

These poor researchers have to find something to do with their time.

If you say so, dear

It has been noted at my work (City) that the women have mostly sons but the men have mostly daughters. I have 3 boys but wouldn't say that am bossy ... perhaps agree that I might be persuasive....

I am a total wimp, am bossed around by everybody and never stick up for myself. I have 3 boys. Also FWIW my dh is always stressed so both theories are IMO bollocks!
