Do you have a child or children of your own? What do you have a boy, girl, or both?

Nawty · 03-02-2009, 08:53 AM

Why ?

Rural Surin · 03-02-2009, 08:59 AM

Sure, why not. I've two sets of maternal twins {2 mothers} that come from Tahitian and Marquesan blood - 28 and 27 years. 1 15 YO in Sukhothai of Thai Yai/Lao ancestry. 2 in Surin at 10 and 12 years respectively...very Khmer/Thai.

All different in their own way but I love them all equally and with no favourite.

Well don't tell that to the youngest and the little angel in my avatar!

Loy Toy · 03-02-2009, 03:03 PM

Have to note, and after early post results are coming in that there is a high proportion of bloke posters here with predominantly female chromozomes!

Not that that matters.............just very interesting.

because they have daughters does not mean that they have female chromozones.

Loy Toy · 03-02-2009, 03:11 PM

As far as I know Lil the male determines the sex of the child and depending upon the male/ female gene structure in the male sperm chromozome make up.

Mothers only carry 1 factor and when it comes to the possible sex of child and males carry both in varying proportions.

I may be wrong sweetheart but I don't think I am.

Happyman · 03-02-2009, 03:18 PM

Got one girl - 28 with two grand daughters + 3 step-grand-daughters from her husbands first marriage!
Got a son -26 with one daughter

My UK Ex was one of 3 daughters and her mum was one of a family with 6 kids - ALL GIRLS !!!

My brother has 5 kids - ALL BOYS !

buriramboy · 03-02-2009, 03:41 PM

More women than men are required for breeding purposes.

Yes, but all males have the capacity to have both male and female children, the world would have ended if not so.

It does not mean that men who have daughters have female chromosones.

That is just silly!

Well, of course. Males take two minutes females take nine months and two minutes.

I wish you would read my post dear!

Men with predominantly higher levels of female chromozones have far greater chances of having only girls Lil. Some blokes can only have boys and so it goes!

Shish....... you seem to like to be argumentative sometimes and without studying the posts. If I am wrong please accept my sincere apology in advance but I think my thoughts are correct in this case Lil.

Anyway google it and find out for yourself!

What determines your baby’s sex

Both the man’s sperm and the woman’s egg play a part in determining the gender of a baby.
Every normal human cell contains 46 chromosomes, except for the male sperm and female eggs, which contain 23 chromosomes each. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the father pair with the 23 from the mother, making 46 in all.
The chromosomes are tiny threadlike structures which each carry about 2,000 genes. The genes determine the baby’s inherited characteristics, such as hair and eye colour, blood group, height and build.
The fertilised egg contains one sex chromosome from the mother and one from the father. The sex chromosome from the mother’s egg is always the same and is known as the X chromosome. But the sex chromosome from the father’s sperm may be an X or a Y chromosome.
If the egg is fertilised by a sperm containing an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl (XX). If the sperm contains a Y chromosome, then the baby will be a boy (XY).
What determines your babyâ€™s sex

buriramboy · 03-02-2009, 04:08 PM

The latest research in this area, at the University of Auckland, shows that dominant and confident women are more likely to have boys because the fertilised egg is exposed to higher female testosterone levels. Dr Valerie Grant, who led that research, says this work suggests that the sex of offspring in mammals may not be a matter of chance. Instead, sex allocation may be a finely tuned adaptation to the mother and her condition at or around the time of conception.

So basically mouthy Western women are more likely to conceive boys than their feminine Asian sisters.
