Losing Income Because of the Girl/Boy Ratio

[LovetheSun]

Thank you so much for your replies! I am just worried for the boys, one mom pointed out that her son was not doing well around other boys since they play rough and he is not used to it. I have no preferences in gender at all, I wasn't sure if is was unusual to have such uneven ratio.

Is very helpful to read all your experiences. Is such a big loss in income for us, and if I fill up that spot that will mean we have 2 boys 7 girls until June 2017 but I guess is ok then

Is a big relieve to know is common!

The balance seems to shift in cycles. Years ago, I had mainly boys. A dcg was pulled because, according to her mom, only wanted to play with trucks and not dolls. So the place she brought her to, had a more even balance. But dcg did NOT get along with the dcprovider's dd. So it probably wasn't even a month before she was asking to bring her dd back. No sorry, space is filled.

Right now, my dc is all girls, except when my 8 yo dcb comes during days off from school. I really love my group now and have kidded with dcms who get pregnant that they cannot have a boy.

DITTO....it's crazy how the waves of gender changes about every 5-6 years. I had this same thing happen where I had all boys an 18mo old girl and a 4yr old girl. 14 kids total. I could not get a girl enrolled to save my life. Now it's the other way around...

while you can't advertise or decline a client based on gender, I was posting on our BF, guess the boys didn't care to learn about the princess in the castle today, if you know of anyone who would, let them know we have openings.

I didn't point out any gender, just said who would be interested. I am now the other way around. Almost all girls...It's crazy.

I am always boy heavy, don't know why. I do tend to contact parents on my wait list with girls first but it hasn't really made a difference. My DD is just has physical and "play fight" oriented as the little boys. I would like a few more girls, but the parents don't seem to mind, the only comment they make are ones alluding to them worrying about my sanity

I went from being all girls and one boy to all boys and one girl... I would fill the spot with any kid doesn't matter the gender... as it looks, next year I'm going back to almost all girls again

Same here! When I started I had all girls one boy. I quit for two years and now it's all boys one girl. I wouldn't even know what to do with a balanced ratio.

Sex discrimination

Wouldn't that be considered discrimination? I'd fill it with either gender.

it is against the law to discriminate based on the sex of the child.
