Move to Edinburgh as soon as possible. The town you're living in is a horrible, aggressive place for a child to grow up (and Edinburgh is wonderful).
Give your daughter as much chance to be with other kids when she's still a baby/toddler. If you let her get to school age with hardly any contact with other children you're risking horrendous social problems for her.
Be sensitive to how she *feels* thoughout her childhood & her teenage years. Practicalities are not all there is. Listen to her when she needs to let her feelings out. Don't brush them aside as irrelevant because you think they're impractical. She will have lots of feelings that she needs to let out. It would really help if you learnt what the word "empathy" means and what counselling is all about because that's the best way to listen to a child in pain & need. Giving practical advice is not what she wants when the other kids in school are picking on her, or when she's feeling lonely and hurt, or put down, walked on. Learn to give emotional support.
Know that when things go wrong it is not always her fault. Teach her to understand & recognise the unpleasant tricks that other kids & adults can play on her & give her words to use to describe them. Then she can say "X is a bully" and "Y is rude" and "Z is trying to put me down" and so on instead of, in her unknowing innocence "X, Y & Z are telling me I'm bad, crazy, not-OK. That's what I must be - bad, crazy & not-OK. Teach her to be able to stand back from that stuff so that she doesn't take it on board and see herself the way the nasty people are telling her she is.
And ... KEEP YOUR PROMISE when you have your 2nd child & you promise your first born that you won't have favourites. Even if your first born disobeys you and your 2nd born turns herself inside out trying to be everything you want her to be - don't have favourites. Keep your promise.
(Wow!! I'm amazed at what I just wrote. Thanks for question - a really good one.)

Dad you have 2 options - either get to the hospital now cause you will miss the birth of your only daughter, or listen to the nurse when she tells ya that you now have a daughter instead of arguing with her.
My mum was put into hospital over night to get some rest, and the doctor lived on the block next to hospital and missed my birth, and then my dad wouldn't listen to the phone call telling him he had a daughter until the nurse mentioned I had red hair.

It would say: "In a few years, there will ba a stock offering for a new company called MICROSOFT. Buy all the stocks you can afford and you can sell the house if needed just to buy those stocks. We will all be living a very comfortable life a few years after you have done that."

Dear Parents,
Please smack his tail around when he starts slacking off in school. DON'T let him shirk his homework, or drop the hard math classes. Also put some freaking money aside for college!
Thanks,
The kid you will soon know.
P.S. Tell his brother to quit beating him up every day. Once a week will be sufficient.

"I am really looking forward to being your daughter. I am about to get the best parents in the entire world." Also, "When I am 13 months old, don't drive anywhere because that month, Daddy, you are supposed to be killed in a car accident and I want you to live until I grow old along with you, so stay home and stay safe, please." "I love both of you!"

You should have used a rubber. You 're in for it now. You just thought you had problems before.

Could you both put in a little more effort and less anger and do it right this time?
