Is there a reason why some people have more daughters/sons?

In my country for example there are way more women, my neighbours for example have only daughters, four of them. And the neighbours across also just have about three daughters. When I go to the playground you rarely see boys either. Is it just random when it comes to children?

i saw a versitasium or vsauce (i don't remember which one) video on how this is not a coincidence, with reference to baby boomers, and some other patterns in history. Everything is designed by perfect math, the natural stratification of population is just too complex for us to understand fully, maybe in future we can explain and hence predict it.

There's several factors involved which would vary from region or area, including genetic predispositions.

The short answer is yes, it's random.
