Is it ok to be content with girl child or have boy also in the family?

Answer 1

Yes, it's perfectly okay to be content with a girl child. If you WANT to have more children, then, sure, go ahead and have more, but do NOT let it matter whether the child is male or female. I've 3 sister and 1 bro in my family, and we're pretty content, but I also know families with only son(s) who're just as content as families with only daughter(s).
Take it from me. I'm from a place where parents prefer SONS and hate it when they have daughters... they'd go as far as to kill their daughters (India is known for this--at least a million daughters are killed each year in India!!!) because females are just not wanted. Personally, it's the most painful a female (at least I!!!)can have.... It kills, really! WHY don't our parents want us daughters??!!! It's not OUR fault that the society hates us and treats us so unfairly.... And I look up to, admire, and sooo deeply love those parents who don't at all care about whether they get sons or daughters; both are equal blessings, so why must it matter?!??!?!?! When we daughters grow up, we seem to love and respect our parents SO MUCH more than our brothers do, and yet... our parents don't want us. I understand it's due to societal pressures, but who said that parents should always give into society's rules and laws?
But anyway, sorry for getting so emotional.
But you see, you can't control the gender of your child (except through the genetic advances now), so then, what if you get another daughter if you attempt to have another child? If you've a female child only, then... well, stay content and be grateful. There are a bit too many couples in this world who wish they had at least ONE child, whether male or female. So be grateful and happy with what you have now! :)!

Note to "Red Chrome": I LOVE your answer, and I agree with you 100% that female children are just as special (if not more) as male children and that daughters grow up to be married and visit their parents more often than their brothers do! VERY true (personal experiences, treatments, observations, readings). Stay the great parent that you seem to be! Asia needs parents like you :D! Bravo to all others whove responded similarly.

Answer 2

Asking this question is like asking "Should I be eating 2 more bread pieces in dinner to fill my stomach or not?" Ask yourself not the world.

Happiness is intangible and unquantifiable. If you are happy about being the proud parent of a girl child no one in this world can take away that sense of happiness or containment.

In today's modern world it is very easy to abort 'n' number of foetus to get a male child but, what is the guarantee that at the end of the day it will make you more content than what you are today?

Answer 3

When you use the phrase being content, it shows you prefer boy child to girl child.
Not only should you be content with a girl child, you should be happy and proud.
Likewise you should be happy and proud when you have a boy baby.

Answer 4

Assuming that I understood precisely what you are asking, it is just as special having a boy baby as it is to have a girl baby. Unless of course you're in my shoes ---- Girl, girl, girl, girl and then a BOY !!!! In my particular case, the boy is VERY SPECIAL ... unique, at least !! I find that idea in some countries in Asia that it is somehow negative to have daughters.... that sons are BETTER !!! They miss the point that we need girls in order to have boys.... ( There was an awful documentary on British TV a few years ago called "The Dying Room" where a little baby girl was left to DIE, perfectly healthy... dying of thirst because girl babies are unwanted in China. And in come parts of China there is always a bucket of water nearby when a mother gives birth in case the baby turns out to be a girl and the poor baby is drowned... just AWFUL, in this day and age.... it makes a fully grown man like me want to weep !!!! ) In fact there is one great advantage to parents when they have a girl -- The girl marries and normally visits her parents more often than the boy will. So in that case, girls are better for the aging parents.

Answer 5

Certain cultures emphasize the importance of male children because they will remain in the family circle, whereas girls when they marry (which is often a large expense to incur) will become part of their husbands' family. If you live in Europe or North America it is hard for most people to understand this type of a concern, because women generally have equal status in these socities. As you will see most of the answers that people have given to you highlight this set of values, people can't understand your viewpoint. I am part of that culture as well, and so for me a female child is just as much of a "blessing" as a male child. It really depends on your family circumstances whether: a) you can afford to have another child
b) having a male child will give you some extra status within your community that a girl would not provide c) you are willing to accept the fact that in trying again, you may have another girl. To summarize, the decision to try for a boy really depends on your own family (in their cultural context) and your ultimate life goals.

Answer 6

you can be content with just a girl. just because you try again doesnt mean that you will have a boy. if you want more kids than go for it but if you are not prepared for what it is going to be then dont. lost of people do not have sons. it is more likely to have a girl than a boy anyways

Answer 7

Of course it is! Anyway there's no guarantee that you'd get pregnant again, let alone with a boy. You could end up with half a dozen daughters in the trying!!

Answer 8

boys

Answer 9

A boy is as good as any girl and a girl is as good as any boy. Dont attach too many expectations from your child. Just nuture him / her with right moral values.

Answer 10

You could try for a boy for years and only get girls. As long as the baby is happy and healthy, does it's sex really matter?
