I desperately wanted a sister - my mom took me with her to the ultrasound where she found out the gender. The tech tried to show me it was a boy, and I kept insisting that was "her fingers" :silly: My brother and I are not that close, but I think it has more to do with personalities than with gender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607923 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 08:20:56 +0000 mrsrain 2607923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am the middle of 3 sisters and DH is the oldest of 2 brothers. We have a daughter and a son. So glad they'll get to experience an opposite sex sibling relationship, but sad that my daughter will never have a sister. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607911 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 07:11:02 +0000 FaithFertility 2607911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the oldest of 4 girls!!!!<br /> I have a girl and a boy(still baking) unsure if there will be #3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607897 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 06:35:59 +0000 farawayyama 2607897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not growing up - I grew up with my two brothers (2 and 6 years younger). Mum fell pregnant with my sister when I was in university and she was born just before I turned 20. We joke that mum replaced me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607896 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 06:33:48 +0000 MrsRcCar 2607896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I have a brother. I always wanted a sister. 🙈</p> <p>I do however have 2 boys with one on the way. It's crazy to watch them grow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607885 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 00:53:30 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2607885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers. And I have 3 girls...they will probably not know what it's like to have an opposite sex sibling </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607727 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 14:42:04 +0000 WinterBee 2607727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I have one brother and that's it. I always wanted a sister and my brother always wanted a brother haha. Just the two of us though.<br /> My DH has a brother and 2 sisters but could care less, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607646 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:44:27 +0000 PinkElephant 2607646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two sisters (though they are much older, so they were more like moms/babysitters until I grew up). I'm currently 29 was with my third girl. </p> <p>After my first was a girl, I couldn't imagine her not having a sister. DH has a brother and a sister, and while he hoped for ONE boy, interestingly he didn't have the same attachment to that boy having a brother as I did to a girl having a sister. My SIL has good things to say about how having two brothers prepared her for life, but is VERY pleased about my house full of girls :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607645 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:38:39 +0000 erinbaderin 2607645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a little brother. I never wanted a sister but I always wanted a big brother. I have two boys and it's nice having brothers, they're so cute together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607642 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:28:02 +0000 Bubbles 2607642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have 3 sisters and we are all great friends. We were very close during childhood and had a lot of fun, but I'm not sure gender mattered to that at all until the teen years. I have 2 boys and dh is one of 3 boys, so we have no experience at all of multi gender sibs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607638 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:21:33 +0000 ValentineMommy 2607638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 1 brother, so no same sex sibling for me.<br /> Dh has two brothers.<br /> We have 2 boys at home, so yes for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607630 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:05:27 +0000 Bao 2607630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I have a sister and a brother. I have two girls so they will get to experience that, but I'll never experience them having a brother. A little sad, but I love the potential best friend relationship my girls will have in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607627 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:03:19 +0000 yin 2607627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: yes, 4 sisters... so much drama. I didn't get along with them until after we all grew up and started families of our own. Also they're all much older and younger than me (9+ years in both directions)<br /> My Kids: yes, 2 boys who get along for the most part. LO2 wants to do everything with his big brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607515 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 19:26:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 2607515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AnnabelleG: same- one of 5 soblings and I love being from a big family but can't imagine parenting more than 2. I don't know how my mom did it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607514 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 19:25:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2607514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a brother and 3 sisters, and I am way closer to my sisters. My sisters are my best friends, I am so lucky to have them! I have two girls and I am so glad they will have each other. I was really happy when we found out the baby was a girl so dd1 would have a sister. (But a little sad for DH that he won't have a son). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-same-sex-sibling-growing-up#post-2607501 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 18:41:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 2607501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, not biologically and not until I was older and our parents got married.
