i have two gorgeous girls, they play with each other allllll day! DD2 is obsessed with DD1, misses her when shes at kinder etc... (not sure how she'll cope next year eeeek) so was wondering what genders your kids are and how do they play together? im wondering if its because they're both girls that they play together so much or if they would have if they had been one of each sex
i often wonder too Olive. Don't worry my two have their fair share of biffo, but they play all day and DD2 cried when we drop DD1 at kinder, and spends the rest of the day asking for her. I love having 2 girls so close together. I kind of hope this one is a girl too so they can all share that bond. I always dreamed of sisters. :)
lol mine have biffo's too!! and DD2 constantly asks when we're going to pick her DD1 up! i just hope they keep this bond strong
My girls are the same. Play together constantly, make sure if one gets a drink or a treat that they get a share for the other one too, try to sleep together in the same bed. Very gorgeous. DD2 is now missing DD1 terribly while DD1 is at kindy and we basically have to hang out at home waiting until its time to pick DD1 up again!
I don't know if its a gender thing, or an age thing (they're 12 months apart), but I wouldn't swap it for the world.
Yay! Hopefully my girls are the same. I always wanted girls too :)
They play with each other all the time already, although DD2 is just laying there smiling, lol. They're laying on the floor together laughing now, makes my heart melt. DD1 just said 'awww...she loves me!'. I never had a sister so I didn't know what they'd be like.
Dunno what is going on with my BB... but it's all weird, so don't know if this will work!
Mine are boys and play together on and off... they'll play great together until Oskar decides to get too rough or to be too bossy and push or pull Elijah. They do very cute playing though and when Elijah "complies" lol... then it's usually smoother play.
You have just made me think that maybe the reason Elijah has started to cry when we turn into Oskar's kindy street is he might not want him to go!! I didn't think of that! He gives him massive cuddles when we are leaving and even randomly now he'll just cuddle him. He's probably only just become "aware" more of it all I guess.
I've wondered about this too, if the gender babies I have will affect their relationship. I grew up with a brother 2 1/2 years younger than me, and we were best friends. We very rarely fought, and I was so protective of him - I wouldn't let Mum tell him off! Apparently when I started Kindy he would cry himself to sleep and only cheer up when I got home. Starting school was hard on us, and I remember when I found out I got 6 weeks holidays over Christmas we were so excited that we had so long to spend together, we danced around the loungeroom making up songs about how happy we were lol. Then we decided the easiest thing for everyone would be if we married each other when we grew up!! Things have obviously changed since then but we still get along really well.
I always thought it was because we were opposite that we got along so well. Two families close to us had the opposite experience - one had two boys then a girl - the boys fought non stop, but both got along with the girl. The other family had two girls and a boy, and the girls hated each other but doted over the boy. So I dunno!
But then I met DH, and he has a sister 3 years older, and they were apparently horrible growing up!
I have 2 boys and a girl. My eldest two play really beautifully together for alot of the day. They do have fights, mostly for attention and because one has taken the others whatever. I think them playing nicely has more to do with the fact that DD is dominant and DS1 will follow her anywhere, he is so in love with her! So DD is happy someone is doing what she tells them and DS1 is just happy to be where DD is, lol. DS2 is tiny so doesn't do anything at the mo, though DD loves to play with him under his play gym and will chat and sing to him if he's on the floor.
kaytee, that's funny. You've just made me realise that I'm kind of wishing for a girl because I was the odd one out with two brothers and we never really got on. Even now they are closer to each other. Because I was a girl, even though I was a huge tomboy, I was always left out. In fact I still am! Lol
arrhhh JM we are black sheep sisters lol!!
Lol JM, there was another family we were close to - they had three boys then a girl, her mum was sooo happy to have a girl! But seriously, she was more of a boy than the boys!! But their situation was kind of like yours, even though she was such a tomboy, the boys did leave her out, and there were things the three of them would be invited to that she'd miss out on
I ahve a boy and a girl and they ADORE each other. They are pretty much together all of the time. When J is at Kindy, E pines for him!
They are the best of friends.
We are not having any more, so there will be no issue of the odd one out.
I had 2 sisters, and we are still colse.
DH had a brother 12 months older and a sister 18 months younger. He was always very close to his sister and still is. He basically has no relationship with his brother. I suppose my point is that the sex of the child doesn't always determine the adult relationship.
