Sons are easier to raise.

Healthy is all I ask for. There is beauty and joy in raising both. As a mother my relationship with my son is very special as is my relationship with my daughter. I can't even choose which I would prefer. They are very different and I have loved both experiences equally.

9:43 is obviously a man lol I think many women want the mother/daughter relationship, sharing those girly ideals. But a mother/son relationship is just as special, like with me and my baby boy :)

People used to want sons because they knew the sons would be able to perform work in the gardens etc.

Now we guy all our supplies from Walmart who gets them from Chinese female labor.

My goodness the world has changed in a qualitative way!

it is all how you raise and trust them
I have one of each and they are very low drama bight kids that prefer the company of their family and friends and when they have encountered drama socially outside the home they have always made wise choices and told us about it not prudishly but just with concern that we might proffer options better suited to their age and experience

A Mother's relationship with their daughter's ARE different than with their sons. Baby girls begin to verbalize much sooner than boys due to the fact the mother's tend to use visual facial displays and talk to their baby girls much more or be more affectionate to them. That communication bond continues through life. I have three daughter's and will have a son very soon.

6:46 - where do you get your facts from?

I have 3 boys. My younest is 18 months and right now at this point he speaks more clearly than many 3 year olds. I have great communication with my boys.

I think it just goes to show it isn't the gender, it's how they are raised and by whom.

(Healthy is all I ask for),,,, so 9:37 if your child is not healthly you wont love them as much and the way that you do now??? it is a shame that when a person is having a baby, people ask if they want a boy and girl, and they say,I dont care as long as it is healthly. I have always wondered what they mean by that....

we raised daughter, different as night and day and we enjoyed, and yes sometimes cried,but loved them unconditionally. they are beautiful young women and have made us very proud. we have grandsons and they are so much fun, and so different then raising little girls; they keep us busy!! love them just as much as we love their mom and aunt. we will keep our son-in-law too.
