The first three, the fifth, and the last are not allowed, probability is 3/8.  That is joint probability.
P(first, where children of both sexes) is 3/4. The probability of the second, at most one boy, is 1/2.
Their products is 3/8.  That is consistent with independence.

Probability of both is 1/2.
P(children of both sexes) is 1/2.  Probability of at most one boy is 3/4
Their product is 3/8.  Since the joint probability is not equal to the product of each of the probabilities, they are not independent.
