Super User gardnerjigman Posted February 4, 2015 Super User Posted February 4, 2015 Well guys, after much debate between the wife and I, We've decided to try for a baby boy. We have 2 daughters now, 5 and 2. We both have always wanted a boy but ya get what the good Lord gives you, and he have us 2 beautiful, healthy baby girls. You guys have any old wives tales for increasing odds for a boy? Please remember this is a family forum so please try to be respectful. If you think your response is too scandalous for the thread PM me. Quote

plumworm Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 My Mom and Dad had 9 grandkids, 8 boys and a girl. My brother had 3 boys, my sister had 3 boys and I have 2 bays and a girl. I have 7 grandkids, 5 boys and 2 girls. Have no clue. I think I remember something from biology class over 50 years ago about some X's and Y's swishing around in a primordial mumbo jumbo and walla, you get what you get. Good Luck. Remember, little girls make great fishing partners too. My 9 year old granddaughter sure is. PS, I had an uncle that had 6 daughters. He died really young with a shotgun across his knees. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 4, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 4, 2015 How about when your wife feels like she needs a little boy around you can borrow Lake and when my wife needs little girls around we can borrow yours? Seems like a win-win to me. Quote

Seems like a win-win to me. Lol is it a win-win or is it feeding fuel to the fire? It's worth a shot though. We are thinking probably wait until next spring time. That will put the youngest only a few months away from school. Lake could probably hold her over until then, they seemed to hit it off at the Christmas Party. Quote
Fisher-O-men Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 It is definitely not a 50/50 proposition. Boys run big time in our family. I am one of three and all of our grandchildren are boys. We did have some girls in the inbetween generation, attributed to miscarriages that were likely boys. (most are) If that is the case we would have had 4 boys instead of two and two. There are some unknown genetics at work. It seems likely that God has figured in the mortality of males due to wars and natural stupidity. After all, there would be no AFV (America's Funniest Videos) without young men! (and alcohol) Quote
Crappiebasser Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 The only post able wives tale I have ever heard was boxers keep the boys cool and swimming faster. I've heard several other wives tales about the subject but they would never make it past the mods. Quote

RSM789 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Best of luck, but as far as a future fishing partner, it may not matter boy or girl. Although they are adults now, we had 3 kids (twin boys & a daughter). While the boys did fish with me a few times growing up, it was never something that caught their interest (I blame it on the genetics introduced by their mother). However, when my daughter was about 8, the two of us went catfishing just her & I. After catching a couple of bass & catfish, she ended the day with a 9 lb. catfish. This locked her in big time, to the point that she asked if we could go the following day. We did & she topped her day old PB catfish by catching an 11 pounder. For a week, she believed it was normal to catch your biggest fish ever each time you went. Being a 20 year old, her interest has waned slightly over the years, what with boys and becoming an adult, but she will still join me a couple of times a year. It was actually good all the times we went fishing when she was a preteen, it removed any of those "daddy issues" some girls get when they are dying for their fathers attention. Quote
KritterGitter Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Not sure if its true buuuuuuut......Ive heard after 2 girls you have a 88% chance of a girl the 3rd time around..... I told my wife if the 2nd is a boy we can go for a 3rd but if its a girl Im calling it quits. I dont like the 12% odds lol Quote
endless Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Here's hope Gardner!! Congrats Clayton! I have 2 boys. Evan is 7 and Justus is 2. Now my wife is expecting again!! We found out when she went for her catscan at the emergency room lol on all the stomach issues she been having.. she does have issues with her intestines where they twist but might explain some of the issues of late lol. Cause we have 2 boys were hoping for a girl! Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted February 7, 2015 Author Super User Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks guys. We are going to be happy no matter what we get, especially as long as it's healthy. My daughters are both little fishing fools. My oldest will hang with me no problem, youngest will for a little while but eventually wants in the water! Truly blessed boys! 1 Quote
