Parents with two boys or two girls are more likely to have a third child than those with a sex-mix. However, little is known of whether sex-mix preferences extend beyond the nuclear family. This study leverages the random variation of sex at birth to assess whether the sex of nieces and nephews, in combination with own children, matters for fertility choices. Using three-generational data in the US Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), I show that extended families including grandparents, their children, and their grandchildren are collectively more likely to have more than two grandchildren when lacking sex-mix, both when the first two grandchildren are siblings or cousins. I explore the pathways of these offspring sex preferences finding support for a preference for an uninterrupted line of male descendants. This multigenerational approach also contributes a new estimation strategy to causally estimate the effects of family sizes on outcomes beyond fertility.
