Haha - Mum was one of two girls, and she had four girls, so she'd probably be the one to ask if this is true.

Incidentally, she and her sister have never gotten along, and no longer speak. My sisters and I are always arguing, but only ever about the small stuff, I couldn't imagine never speaking to them again.]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2011 10:27:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304590&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304590 <![CDATA[Want to be happy, have 2 daughters!!!??? : So I just have to hope for another...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304431&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304431 Author: Ella1

So I just have to hope for another girl then, and our house will be so lovely and harmonious

Hahaha, this just cracks me up.
Especially nr 4 - easy to reason with. (I should probably hurry up with our next baby, as that will obviously solve all our problems with our stubborn DD )
And nr8 - Very well behaved. I'm glad that happens automatically as well.

Too funny ]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 23:06:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304431&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304431 <![CDATA[Want to be happy, have 2 daughters!!!??? : monkey33 wrote:I have 1 sister...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304335&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304335 Author: pudgy

Id have to say that my two boys (cant include the eldest as he lives with his dad) but they get along soooo well...I reckon age gaps have more influence on things than gender.

I love my boys and I would love a girl for my own selfish reasons......of which I dont care what anyone thinks but I only have one life and I really really wanted to be able to do girlie things with a mother or a daughter and since I cant change having a mother around I would like to have a daughter but I dont think thats gonna happen either and I do get upset now and then about that....maybe Im gonna have to convince one of my boys to go get manicures and pedicures and do girlie things......LOL.....yeah right

Lol

Thats all I can say. I had 2 brothers and a sister (2 boys 2 girls) and we got along pretty well.

I'm going to end up with (at least) 2 girls. honestly, you don't have a baby just to have 1 gender, yes you might prefer one, but in the end you can't (shouldn't except for medical reasons IMO) control it so you just love whoever you get!

And ditto on the personalities, there is such a huge combination, and some (boy or girl doesn't matter) are just NOT going to get along!]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:44:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304094&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304094 <![CDATA[Want to be happy, have 2 daughters!!!??? : I think we can be sure the study...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304093&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304093 Author: myonlineself

I think we can be sure the study didn't say "all families with two daughters are happy" - just that given the study's findings, families with two daughters are statistically more likely to be happy than families with other combinations of children studied..... ]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:43:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304093&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304093 <![CDATA[Want to be happy, have 2 daughters!!!??? : My nieces are the same always...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304089&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304089 Author: caliandjack

It's not like you can plan which way your family is going to go, unless you adopt I suppose.

Having siblings isn't all its cracked up to be either.]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:38:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304089&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304089 <![CDATA[Want to be happy, have 2 daughters!!!??? : All children are different in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304041&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304041 Author: GuestGuest

All children are different in personality so I'm not sure how they can draw that conclusion. I have two nieces and they sure as hell aren't quiet and are constantly bickering which goes against what the article is saying. We had them all weekend and I couldn't wait to give them back for some peace and quiet! ]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 15:57:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1304041&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1304041 <![CDATA[Want to be happy, have 2 daughters!!!??? : There daughters are teenagers...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1303974&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1303974 Author: _SMS_

Newspaper reports of most things are hugely inaccurate as they are just tabloid BS and I really do wonder where they find these "studies" and if they are actually read how the are then laid out in the media or if its just twisted to make a good story

When you have 3 boys and would much like a girl due to my upbringing of not having a mother and then not having a daughter to try and live vicariously through, these sorts of "studies" can be upsetting even if it just that a "study" ....

There is no point being upset by a study result, what they found is what they found. Whether the study was worth doing or not is another matter... and what relevance the study findings have to ANYONE is questionable, but research is often just about asking a question and doing a study to find out an answer....

I would be interested to see the actual study, as newspaper reports of scientific studies are notoriously inaccurate!]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:24:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1303927&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1303927 <![CDATA[Want to be happy, have 2 daughters!!!??? : *snorts* for 12.5 years my mum...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38751&PID=1303919&title=want-to-be-happy-have-2-daughters#1303919 Author: Babykatnz

I had 3 sisters and a brither, yeah we fought but honestly I couldn't see it any other way.
