[quote=Anonymous]I feel this so hard as a mom with three sons!

Here is what I have leaned into as my kids have gotten older 
1. The brother bond is magical. I had a brother growing up, and I always wished he was a sister (haha) , now as an adult I'm envious of the people that have friendships with their siblings. I think parents always want "one of each" but I think for kids the same gender creates a irreplaceable bond
2. We are raising a tight family unit --- We have created a closeness with our kids and are an affectionate family. My sons are very close. I am hopeful that even as they get older and start their own families that being close to their siblings (and therefore me too) will be important to them.

Lastly - as many people already mentioned there isn't a crystal ball. Where your kid goes to college (and if its close to home), who their future wife is (and what her family is like), the age gap between your kids ... these can all totally change the dynamic of what the future looks like.
