It's not even worth mentioning this problem unless you talk about how the result depends on the data generating process. If you take it to be something like "you randomly sample from families with two children, discarding any without at least one girl", you get the 1/3 result, but there are various other ways to read a sampling process from the problem statement which lead to other results.
