5 AnswersParenting6 years agoI heard a lot of pregnant people say they want a girl second so she could have a big brother to protect her?

3 AnswersParenting6 years agowhy do parents often want to do what is easier?
Take discipline for example. If 2 year old Mari is upset and throwing a fit why not hold her and try to calm her down instead of sending her to time out.
