We have four girls in our family and I have never heard any of our parents say "kash mera beta hota". I think I've actually heard them say they prefer their daughters to sons any day.
Children are a blessing and if you treat them that way...they do become a blessing for you.
Exactly! I'm the youngest of three girls. I cannot recall a single time my parents ever lamented over not having a son. In fact, like Reha said, my papa was actually greatful that he was blessed with girls!
This is a never ending issue, we can all argue all we want but I doubt its going to disappear anytime soon. Some people will feel blessed to have daughters, while others will feel burden. And I dont think anyone can change their minds.
Like someone said, the "jhula" seems to be someone who commited a sin.
Edit: I actually dont get whats wrong with wishing a boy if you have girls. I have seen people wishing for girls when they have boys, nobody frowns upon that? I think most people would like to have each
Ladies, i am not defending the practice of maligning and degrading baby girls here, not even in my dreams.
but having wish of a son is not wrong either, if it is care to provide valid arguments.
In the end, men desire a baby boy. we in general say “I wish to have a baby boy” than “I are looking for a baby girl”. to merely experience what it is like to buy toy cars (manly) stuff you know Most men prefer to undertake a baby boy so them to could teach them the situations they were fond to do before.
They want to enjoy a baby boy because they will see their selves within the baby and they without conscious thought want their son to grow up like them. same is true for women they see their-selves in the girl.
as i said, women want her daughter to learn cooking & all the girly stuff - on the other hand i am going to give my boy lectures about how to flirt, totally different scale of thinking

ha! like he would want this sort of advice from his pop. Dude, what kids think is cool is on a totally different planet than what parents think is cool.
these swings are not primarily there for ditching girls, these are for people to leave their newborn (girl or boy) if they for some reason can not associate themselves with kid which might include adultery, lack of resources and what not.
As for "I want boy mentality goes" that will never change unless we give women more share in everyday life including earning bread and butter only then these people will realize that they can do what men can.
my thoughts exactly, their should not be any difference between boy or girl *but there is in every society around the world from the very beginning of mankind and it will stay as it is until the very end. *
few reasons why:
1) people want son who will carry on the family name and make sure family lineage is well and alive
2) parents expect the son to take care of them when they are old
3) boys are stronger and better workers that could keep the family business alive or help dad around
4) Boys were just considered better than girls, its genetics because they were and are heirs to thrones
i can go on .. and on, but lets make a stop here - that's how the world is and it will stay as it is.
Ermm NO. Only handful of societies prefer boys over girls and care about the list of things that you mention here.
Most men prefer to undertake a baby boy so them to could teach them the situations they were fond to do before.
