...and is it worth risking the chance of ending up with 4 sisters instead of just 3? I would like to have 4 or 5 kids. We already have 3 girls, and we know for sure we want to have at least one more kid. I feel like if it's another girl that I'm probably done. But I'm wondering if it's a boy, should I have another one to try for a brother for him and risk having another girl? I'm fine with having any combination of kids, since I love all of my children and feel lucky to be able to have healthy and wonderful kids. But would a little boy be better off just having 3 sisters. Or is it worth the risk to end up with 4 sisters to try for a brother? I'm trying to look at it from the point-of-view of a little boy. What do you think?

If you really want to try for another boy why not. It doesn't hurt to try. I'm sure he would want a brother, but how can he get that wish if you don't just give it a shot. If you are willing to do it, I say go for it. If you get another girl, oh well. Atleast you tried.

I think it is great to have that closeness. HOWEVER. There is something unhealthy about this. 1) "Don't let your wife read this". How come? Does he approve of that? What is her reasonings? That right there can tell you that this is unhealthy behavior. 2) "Wonders if he still loves her like she loves him" Now this can be taken two ways. If she was raised by him and only had his love. I can understand her having a problem with her brother now loving someone else. "My hero" can be the reason. She might of not had males around and now she has three main ones in her life. She only knows this type of love of effection. Or there was something unhealthy going on between those two... How did you come across that letter? If you can discuss this with your husband and then discuss this with her. Maybe this can give some good bonding with you if she hasn't had a female in her life. However, I do think this is a unhealthy situation for her.

My son has 3 sisters and he is just fine. He was actually a little spoiled because of it. We all wish for what we don't have. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. So, my brother only had sisters and actually he is a lot more sensitive to women then like my husband who has one sis and 2 brothers. So, if you love all of them regardless of sex, then do what you do and the rest will be fine. That's life!!

My son loves being the only boy, so his sisters can take care of him. He is in the middle so he still gets to be a big brother.

ever consider adoption? that way you can get a boy and you'd be providing a needing/deserving child a good home.

There are ways you can select the gender of your child. Do you have the money for it?
Otherwise, accept the hand you're dealt.
