Thank God you are back, DCs are debating how gender is decided at conception. I am not ready drunk enough for this type on conversation with a 16 and 13yr old
Last time I was pg , kind and well meaning people would ask my then 5yo Dd if she wanted a brother or a sister. She would fix them with a withering stare and inform them
" the baby is already a boy or a girl - you don't get to choose "
If I didn't intervene she would then proceed to tell them about eggs and sperm < old lady faints in supermarket >
