GENDER INEQUALITY Gender Bias in Parenting

Boy V/S Girl

A Boy Child or a Girl Child have been treated differently since ages. A desire of having a 'Son' rather than a 'Daughter' is still there in most parts of the country.Does it really matter for you? Why do you think our society has this preference for having Son rather than Daughter?

Whatever the child wether a Girl or a Boy both are a blessing to every parent.Incase parents are ungrateful about having a kid either a girl or a boy ,Then let them be reminded of those couples who have been yearning and struggling since a long time to have an offspring a heir to their family no matter what the kid is girl or a boy.Well ,inshort whosoever's kids they are ; their innocence and cuteness of any irresistible and every kid should be the Apple of a parents eye.😍

personally, I believe both are equal. I am mother of two kids, my elder daughter is approx 6 years old and my son is approx 2 months old. My husband preference was girl for our 2nd child too, but society always wants a boy they make joke of us.
Even my mother-in-law was surprised by the difference of phone call received after the birth of my daughter and son.
My daughter was the first child in my entire family but the number of phone call at the time of birth of my 2nd child i.e my son was very high as compared to my daughter birth.

My daughter is only girl child in her maternal and paternal side followed by her 6 cousin (male).
Still everyone dreams for a boy in their family

Their is preference for boy over girl, whether we are in 2020 or 1920.

Nothing as differing!
We should not degrade one upon the other.
Both are valuable in their own existence.
Having child is a greatest blessing!
