My neighbors have 8 boys and one girl - the first pregnancy was twin boys, the next was a girl, and then the rest were boys.

I know someone who has nine girls and is now expecting number ten. I have a feeling it is a boy though.

My friend is one of ten girls, no brothers!

My (Catholic) friend is the 8th of 9 girls. But alas, not 10.

My father grew up with a family that had 11 boys, no girls. They were Catholic too.
As my dad later married and moved out of the neighborhood, he still hear from them. They were getting married and those boys were still having all boys! Shocked

I stopped at seven . I know that the other gender would eventually come, but probably not before a few more same gender kids, which I couldn't handle! In other words make peace withe having seven same gender, or having ten same gender and eleventh or twelve being the other!

Yes, I know 2 families with 10 boys each.
One had a girl after the 10.

We just had that discussion on Shabbos. A boy in my son's class just had their 11th boy.

I know a family of 8 girls (no boys). Close enough?

I've met one family almost in this situation - 6 boys (ages 6-18) and the youngest was a girl (3) at the time I knew them. I've never met a family as large as ten or more though, where that held true.

It is rare, but if a man has a condition that creates a scenario where he's only going to be able to create girls, or the odds are heavily tipped towards him creating girls, the odds are higher that he will produce only daughters, because biology dictates that "X" swimmers are hardier than "Y" swimmers.
