Hadley is my first grandchild of either type. Her mom was my first child. Her mom prepped me for what you describe. I also have a son who is 17 months younger than his sister. He just turned 27 this month and my daughter will be 29 in Dec.
I love both my children and both have shone so much love in return. But I wanted a daughter first. The Lord blessed me with that and then gave me a son not too long after.
But daughters and granddaughters are very special. I highly recommend them.
Me too. I had three sons and one daughter. My daughter is a career woman who didn’t marry until she was 40. No children. One son in heaven, one a confirmed bachelor, and only the youngest son to provide the grandaughter. Her Mom nearly died from childbirth, so there probably won’t be any more grandchildren. Needless to say, the little chicky is very spoiled, but she is so sweet and unselfish, and behaves so well, it’s hard to believe.
