In today's society, if we consider our generation it's a 60-40 ration I would say where 60% consider both son and daughter equally but the rest 40% still looking for a guy to take the bloodline ("vansh") ahead. How much ever we say we have past ahead that thought but honestly we didn't. It's a kind of thought process that still people are happily and proudly carrying from previous generations. It's high time we change our mindset and treat both daughters and sons equally. 🙏

not parents but grandparents n relatives does think that daughter's are liabilities n sons are assets. I gave birth to my angel but reaction was from in laws was "asude" in marathi. my sister in law gave birth to son n they all were very happy . I took my daughter to my in laws house after 8 long month but they were only affectionate towards that boy never baught any toy or even dress. in indian society nowadays after one boy they will accept girl child but if first child is a girl they are eagerly waiting for " varis " a boy. I wanted only one child my daughter but do you think my in laws will not intervene.

if you really want to know the answer ask how many women has birth control operation after one girl child . as a mother n father their children are everything to them regardless of gender. our society parents used to educate only sons so that they can get a job n take care of them in future. n girls are married early after that boy gets a job n can manage his sister's wedding cost.i can say this cause I married that son. that's why I decided never see profit in ur children. they are not investment for our future or old age . boys also having burden of their parents to bear all the cost of their sister wedding then every other little things. let our children be our present happiness n not our future support.

I think likewise sons are assets daughters are assests too for her family , I think it will be intrusive if we say girls are liability because being a girl they take care of her family like a son does , and that too more nicely comparatively to sons, I think society is changing now they are accepting more girl child and definitely one day India will be having more girl population then men’s , I think why parents think girls are liabilities coz of dowry still this system is alive in some parts of India ,if this system vanishes then trust me none of the parent will ever think that girls are liabilities rather they will pray to have girls .. like I am an Indian parent too and I am proud that I have a daughter and I will be more proud if my second child will be a girl too .. I still remember my mum telling me once society k liye ek beta hona bhi jaruri hai if this kind of thinking is still there in her so no doubt many a parent think like this and trust me now a days girls are going out and earning like man does so why we are distinguishing between them .. embrace daughters and trust me they are the once who will embrace you when u will get older not your sons 😊 .
