Boy V/S Girl

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?

In my opinion, it really doesn't matter to me. what actually matter is, how you raise your child to make the difference. My child is 2.6 month old teach so as of now, i only teach my child how to live better being happy and respectfully. But in near future, i will also make my children learn how to cook, washing dishes, how to do laundry, cleaning-dusting along with earning their own livelihood as these are not gender limited or gender specific skills. Teachings for Loving humanity, equal love and respect for everybody's culture and tradition and also to follow your own would be an important part of teaching and learning.
completely agree with you. i m also going to teach all these things to my baby boy. i & my hubby had already decided whatever we ll have boy or girl, doesnt matter. but we ll try to make our child healty & teach him to be a good hunan being. we are trying to give him the best upbringing as we can provide & yes he must learn cooking, cleaning etc along with studies & extra curricular. cz nothing is gender specific. hopefully he ll learn, cz his parents do te household work together.

i have seen many women desiring a boy rather than a girl..but for me becoz i m d mother of one boy nd one girl,its doesnt matter..i just want to teach both of dm to be a good human neither a boy nor a girl..we r living in 21st century but old mindset of having a boy to keep their family continue is a rubbish thought..

no kid is different for parents it's all about society which change parents desire and this should change wh by not bothering about what people think about our kids gender.
I love my kid irrespective of his/her gender

we r talking about gender inequality..so saying a boy is must or a girl is must will be very wrong.. both are very important and plays equally important roles in our society.. it really doesn't mean that we should have 2 kids ,1 boy and 1 girl, but it means whatever is given by God to us either we want 1 or 2 kids ,we should accept it with love and responsibility.. Both girl and boy r equal...
