Why do you not want a daughter?

I am totally against aborting or killing any human being, irrespective of the gender of the infant. If there would be no girls in this world, this human race would cease to exist. People who go for aborting a girl child appear to me very cruel and those who actually do it cannot get peace in their life and cannot succeed, because they deliberately 'kill' a human being. The importance of 'girl' child should be understood by one and all and there should be a strict and complete ban on aborting/killing a girl child and those who voilate it, should severely be punished. Good Post!

So sad to read the poem. I understand that there's many people in this world want to have a son. Personally, myself, I want a daughter more than having a son. I mean, I want to have a daughter, not that I don't want a son, but having a daughter is something that I really wish from long time ago. I don't understand why people kill their daughter just because they want a son. That's so sad to know that the girl-child is not being appreciated, I was once a girl child, and I can't imagine if my parents didn't want me that day... Thank you for so touching poem you have given us here... have a nice day

Hi dear Nice and Senstive Topic U know Mayka, i am Muslim if i look at the islamic history , it told us that in Pre Islam Arab ( almost 1500 yrs back) The Arabs were ashamed to have Girls(beside other faults), they dont want to have daughters, so they kill them at their birt oR Burry them alive ( cruelity). And there was no right of women, she was mis treated . no share in wealth etc But Islam changed it all and clearly say that All are Blessing of Allah, and give proper right to ladies, and Heaven is conditional with prayers of mother. Now she is Respected in every relation, Mother, sister, daughter, wife, aunt, cousins And nowadays when i read that People are getting Abortiion as fetus was of Girl, It remind me pre islamic era, 1500 yrs back and i think we claiim so much advancement, so much liberlization but still we are killing Girls, then where we are standing girls/women are still abused all over the world nice and thought provoking mail God Bless U

i dont know why you ask things like thiskids are blessing and girl is great or whatever it is as long as its healthy.but i remember the story,there was a chinise couple who had their first child,a girl and since they think that girl is not a good who to run the business they give it away,then make another kid and its a girl again,then they give it away for second time.the third kid was a boy so they keept it.this story is true i saw and know this family, chinice businessman in Philipines so maybe its true about not having a girl and i guess its only chinise has belief of it.for me i am very happy having with my girl.

A child is a blessing.They are a gift from God.They should be treasured,cared and loved regardless of what gender they have.I really love kids eversince i was still young.I would borrow our neighbor's kids just to play with them.I have a daughter now and i love her very much.She mean the world to me.

My mother had three sons. But when I had my first kid, a Daughter, my mother was very happy. The first female born in the family. My 2 younger brothers - their happiness knew no boundaries. I cannot think anything beyond my daughter. I have decided not to have another kid. Now she is 8 years old. Very naughty. She kicks me and her mom like Jerry kick Tom. She is very smart, intelligent in grasping things.

This poem should be translated in all regional language all over india and should be pasted at every door step , atleast such poems should change the hard hearts of a man , but you know mayka generally guys like girl babies , my dad wanted a girl baby and i was born , he liked me a lot and even still he is, likewise all guys i met they all like a girl child , you know who really hates the girl child? it is the female herself , the mother in law hates the girl child! So sad to hear this know? but it is bitter truth , only the guy's mom will do such non-sense and these guys will listen their mom and kill their own child ..

This is a very sad poem. I think it is such a shame that in some cultures boys are considered great and girls are considered a burden. If girls are aborted because they are not the preferred gender there will not be the right gender balance. A boy will grow into a man but he might not get a wife. Feelings mean a lot to me. I would love to have a daughter and I already have two sons that I love dearly.

The first time I knew that I was pregnant, I never bother about a girl or a boy. My only wish at that time was about the health of my child. That was more important than any other thing in the world. But now, I have daughter and son, I always feel and think that I am a blessed mother in the world. So when I hear or read about killing baby , I always feel so sad about it and never agree with that at all.

In some cultures, it is deemed to be better to have sons instead of daughters. I personally don't agree - children are all God's gift to us, regardless of whether they are male or female and should be treated as such.

Too sad if this is just about not having daughters, but only sons. That is so primitive and uncivilized now. Sad.

i was never fortunate to have a daughter, wish i did. i would have loved her just like i did my sons. you are talking about murdering a girl child, that is beyond my understanding & i think it's horrible.

I like girl child. I need one girl child and on boy then only we will get good life in this world i don't know many people kill girls but they don't know if there is no girl there is no world and people they want to know about girls very much if i will get chance i will educate all them about girls and women and their important to the society. I think god will give me that chance to do that good thing.

its really sad in this era we people only don't want to have a girl child... i surprize where the world is going whether we can imagine this world without girl child this way i think the world will come to an end.. no doubt girls are more caring to the parents than boys.. but then also... even i have two boys . but girls are girls.

yeahh... it is so sad that this kind of thing still happening in this modern world... people still prefer to have son compare to daughter... my grandfather also didn't like me when i was born and would prefer to have a grandson... so my brothers are the favorites and i am the left out one... fortunately, my parents love me so much... so i never feel unwanted... take care and have a nice day...

daughter and son ,also your child,for me ,daughter is a good child,beacuse in my family,there are many boy in our family,my brother have two sons,and i have three uncles,also they have more son than daughter.

Your poem is so so sad! I have 4 beautiful daughtes and I just can't imagine life without any one of them. I would have loved a son also but I am not in any way disappointed. Thankfully, most people don't feel that daughter's are a "burden". All children, male & female are a blessing.

It is very sad that female children are not considered as worthy as males in some parts of the world, mayka. Soon, there will be an overpopulation of males - and then where will we be? The natural balance will all be out of sync. I have three gorgeous daughters - so I love girl children personally. Blessings to all the girl children ... (and the boys too!)

Hello I like to tell myself. I have two daughters & no complaint at all to GOD & even i thanks to GOD have two Children which are healthy & smart because this is the most important instead of BOY & GIRL .. One thing every body know daughters are most most caring of parents. Like 2 know your response about this.

it doesn't matter if you have a daughter or a son,..they are blessing from God that everyone should be thankful..
