I have two girls, 2 years apart. Both were outnumbered by boys (by a large margin) in their preschool classes.

There are three families like that in my daughter’s Girl Scout Troop. I also know three families with TWO BOYS.

You need to get out more.

Also, my son's 3 yo class is 7 girls, 5 boys.


+1 the girls I know from two and three girl families play with each other and don’t do a lot of playdates

I am a “younger parent” (for DC) and had DD1 at 30 and DD2 at 32.

There’s a 25% chance that 2 kids will be girls. So it’s really just your bubble, not some DC area phenomenon.

You tend to know families with kids of your kids’ gender. I knew without reading this you had a boy.

Seems like everyone I know has 2+ girls.

And then there's me and my 3 boys. Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry.

They exist, but they are all too busy doing their daughters’ hair to get out of the house, so you don’t know them.

Don't agree about the two girls phenomenon, however, there does appear to have been a surge in boy births at the end of 2012 and first half of 2013. My son is in Kindergarten (Feb. 2013 birthday) and the ratio of boys to girls in preschool and at his elementary school has been at least 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 for the past 3 years.
