[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so grateful to have one of each.  My kids are 7 and 9 (boy).  But i will say, I think it would be hella easier having same gender.  I think I'm luckier that I have one of each but I do agree that as they get older as mine have, 2 of same gender can be great - if I was them I would love the same gender sibling.  Also, I would love that if I did hand me down clothing as so dresses/shoes of DD may get worn just a few times, the activities would be a lot easier since my kids are all boy and all girl, entertainment as in movies would be easier too.. some of it is simply personality - they are just very boy and very girl so they don't like any of the same things.  They get along and fight and what not but I can see that if they were the same gender, they would have even more fun :) FWIW I am an only child and my husband has an older brother.  In a truly ideal world, I'd have 4 kids, 2 pair of each gender LOL

I have friends that have 3 of the same gender.  They say they are happy but I also know they had the 3rd to try to get the other gender they don't have.  Of course they accept once they don't get what they want but I think that all in all, having 1 of each is a parent's dream.  I get that you love your kids no matter what but practically speaking, yeah, why wouldn't you want the experience of having a boy and a girl.  So it works out any which way I suppose![/quote]

I truly never wanted a girl. I don't really like girly things or girly play. I don't like how vain girls are. The mood swings...
They worry of if they will be ugly.
