Re: People having problems with Daughters
Heres another perspective, when my niece was born, a lady told me to tell my brother not to worry, and that God will give him a son next time. It irked me that she had the nerve to say something like that, and replied as much that they were more than happy with a baby girl.
Now the funny thing is, the lady herself has 5 sons and one daughter, and from what i know, she would do anything for her one daughter over her sons. This seems contrdictory to her preference for having boys.
The only logical thing you can put it down to, is daughters in some society are expected to be treated pretty bad and these mother's know only too well, for they were those daughters at one time. I would think inorder to protect thier daughters from going through the same experience and not being able to fight for them, i think sadly, its is the least form of protection these women have..and that not wanting to have baby girls in the first place mean not having to put them through all this crap.
I dont think it is the dislike of daughters as much as it is dislike of the partriarch society that demeans them as such, that some mothers prefer having sons over daughters.
