I have one daughter and a few sons and just had another boy. I’m worried my daughter will never get a sister and it’s really making me sad. Also thinking about how I’m guno have so many daughter in laws and already worried about that relationship and its effect on my connection with grandchildren. Anyone else have this and can reassure me from either point of view? Thank you

I bh have one daughter sandwiched btw more than a few boys.
Hashem knows what your daughter needs in life and if she needs a sister he knows your address. I dont think there's anything to feel bad about. I believe its our hob as parents to help our children accept and be happy with their lot.
As a one and only princess theres privileges and special times with mommy she wouldn't get otherwise

Honestly I envy you I have one son who’s a twin mind you and a slew of girls. I literally cry every time I give birth to my girls. I wouldn’t be too worried about your dd my mom davened for a girl so that I could have a sister and we’re sworn enemies.

How old is your daughter?
I know ppl who had 2 girls 13,15 and even 18 years apart!!
And even so eventually the age gap closes and they’re still sisters. Don’t give up just yet!
Treasure your daughter . Be her best friend . Make your home a place where her friends and neighbors love to hang out.
My daughter was an only for many years and that’s what I did. I have many “adopted daughters” that are her friends. And yes one day she ll have lots of new”sisters” iyH!

And I have no daughters and might never have any daughters. Imagine how you would feel then and be grateful that you have at least one.

My one girl is 17. Rest boys. Doesn't look like Hashem is sending more kids. Of course she wants a sister and I daven for one... But I have to say, we BH have a great relationship..I don't think we'd be that close if her brothers were girls !

I have several sisters that I am super close with, and only 1 daughter. I feel bad for her that she doesn’t have a sister.
Sister in laws aren’t the same.
I adore my boys and plan to be an easy mother in law imyh and I don’t worry too much about that part, but I do feel sad for my daughter that she won’t ever have a sister , and the beautiful and unparalleled relationship that comes with it.

My sister in law (husband’s sister) is also an only girl. I have sisters of my own and I feel just as close to my sister in law as I do to my own sisters. I also see her and talk to her way more then I do with my own sisters since we live closer to each other.

I have a sister. It's not all it's cracked up to me. I'm way closer with my SIL than I am with my biological sister.

Op I also have a few boys and 1 girl. I'm done having kids. I remember opening a thread 2 years ago when I was pregnant with another boy asking people to share the benefits of being an only girl so I can stop feeling bad for my daughter. That thread gave me a lot of positive reassurance and feedback.
And yes I thank Hashem every day for giving me at least 1 girl. She's such a joy!
