Link: Key to a Happy Family Is 2 Daughters, Study Finds - FoxNews.com

It turns out the formula for a happy family is not the one boy and one girl combination that many couples strive for. It’s actually families with two girls that are the most harmonious, according to a study of more than 2,000 families.

With two daughters, the siblings tended to be easier to reason with, help out more around the house and actually like each other.

After two girls, one boy and one girl was rated the next best combination, followed by two boys, the study by a British parenting website Bounty.com found.

But beware, there can too much of a good thing when it comes to daughters.

Families with four girls were the least happy with family life overall.

Parents in this category reported drawbacks including squabbles and having to buy a bigger house and car.

"The findings were absolutely fascinating – we often assume little girls behave like angels, and if you have two this certainly seems to be the case.” Bounty.com spokeswoman Faye Mingo said. "But the more girls you have the more of a handful they become - more so in fact than boys."

'BEST' TO 'WORST' COMBINATIONS OF CHILDREN:

1. Two girls
2. One boy and one girl
3. Two boys
4. Three girls
5. Three boys
6. Four boys
7. Two girls and one boy
8. Two boys and one girl
9. Three boys and one girl
10. Three girls and one boy
11. Two boys and two girls
12. Four girls

pretty interesting to read. cant wait for the day we can pick the gender of our unborn child! ahahaha. :lmao: jk. i think when i finally have kids id want to have boys. i think i would be the over protective jerk of a dad that is always cleaning the shot gun when a boy comes over. that or have a boy first, and the girl a few years later, so she has an older brother that will kick some arse.

What we need to do is fax this study over to China!! We are very happy with our two "germ balls" (thx to day care!):

Pretty amazing omission. If an only child hadn't shown up, I wonder how long it would have gone unnoticed.

I have one son.....and that is just fine with me.

2nd. It's because we're amazing children and it goes without saying.

I agree. I was definitely spoiled as an only child, but when I got into trouble there was no one to share the blame with. All eyes were on me. I often wonder how I would have turned out and how my life would have turned out differently if I had a brother or sister.

AHAH! yes! this is perfect, just the other day i was at the pool with a lady friend and we were arguing, she said EVERYONE ideally wants 1 boy and 1 girl. I said it would be better to have 2 of one or the other. I just won a free sushi dinner! thanks thai!

Good find! Especially since girl #2 will be here shortly.

I only have 1 incredibly awesome daughter and I can't imagine being any more happy with more children. My wife has two children though- my daughter and me. She seems pretty happy.

I have one daughter - she is seven, she is a wonderful child (this is probably what every parent would say about their child). My only regret is that I don't see her often. I am a doctor, I work in a clinic in Florida, and I devote a lot of time to my patients. And children grow up so fast

Happiness? Two? So now you don't have to worry about just one getting knocked up as a teenager, now you've got to worry about two getting knocked up as a teenager? This sounds like lunacy.

This happens now. My brother requested twin boys and removed a genetic flaw.

Can you tell us more of how this is possible and what type of clinic does this?

Christian school K-12 then Christian college. Can’t send them to public school with more waking hours with strangers and a liberal agenda, than their own more conservative parents, and expect your teachings to have any permanence.
