My mother was like that but wanted a boy to spoil. Instead she got two daughters who she was competitive and neglectful with.

At that point it would be much cheaper to do IVF with gender selection

Gender selection should be illegal.

Why? And how would you enforce that?

DP. Clinics would mostly not offer it because most doctors are law abiding people. For those that aren't, they could be charged. Just like any other illegal activity.

This is interesting because when I see families with 3 or 4 girls all I feel is “wow that looks amazing” and a little envious. I have 2 kids, both girls, and am done having kids.

FWIW I read a study awhile back that looked at family happiness and the general conclusion was 2 girl families were the most peaceful and happy but...4 girl families were at the bottom of the pile in terms of all possible combinations.
