Are you blessed with boy kids?

that is one indian culture which i will never like. i am a mother of a girl and two boys. for me, all three children are blessings that have come into my life. i really do not understand what brought forth that kind of concept about girl children in india. if we come to think of it, there will be no men born in this world without the women. i just hope that it will not take too long when this kind of concept about the culture re:indian women will be totally erased. it was so very long ago when the women in europe were recognized to be equal among men.

In our culture, it is not important whether you have a boy or girl child. What important is how you raise them as a person. We practice close family ties. So no matter what happen, we have each other for better or for worst. When it comes to inheritance, of course, ideally it should be divided equally among children. But it is not always the case.

i am blessed w/two sons. i don't think there should be any difference made between children. i wouldn't like the ways of india when it come to that. i don't think anyone should be under the control as uput it of anyone. that all needs to be updated. mean no offense just glad i wasn't born there. i would have been a rebel.

I was blessed with three sons and one daughter. I adore them all and they are all important to me. You did well to educate your daughters for if their marriages broke up then they would be able to support themselves.This is a good thing. A woman who is educated will fight to make sure and sacrifice so that her children can be educated. I am happy to have had a daughter after my three sons. Blessings

In our place, boys and girls have equal rights. And as of now, I've got a boy and a girl...

well, metality of indian are changing ,so you cannot say indian consider boy as an asset. but yes person who is have old thoughts really think so. It might be true for poor indian family but not for educated modern family. In many indian family , there is a single daughter.Happy GenderLotting!

Thank heavens it's not like that here in the US. I have heard this about India, but always wondered if it was indeed true. How horrible for the women of India! I can't imagine the low self-esteem this must give these girls to realize that their lives are considered a pain in the butt and not worth anything. It makes me wonder why and how such thinking came about. Didn't those men back then realize that if not for a WOMAN that they wouldn't have been born in the first place?! I don't have any boys, just girls, and I'm glad that their husband's families don't believe in any of these outdated sexist ideas!! I consider myself very blessed to have girls. I'll have to admit that learning this is true has considerably lowered my opinion & respect of Indian males and Indian culture!!

There is no difference in our country murul. The boys have bigger chunks of the inheritance. But my family is going against the norm. You see I come from a big family of 5 girls 5 boys but according to our tradition if the properties is owned by the woman ie my mother it has to be inherited by the daughters. Since my mom is the only daughter and come from a well off family she divided her property equally among the children. Well, she did not divide and rule us but we are all very happy with the outcome. Each of us have landed properties of 10 acres each and two units of houses (still under construction). For me I will do it my mother's way of dividing what I have among my two sons and 2 adopted daughters. I don't believe daughters are treated as 2nd class children as they too come from the same factory. So there shouldn't be any discrimination.

I have been blessed by a baby boy recently.My in laws had always longed for a boy,so there was tremendous pressure on me.I heaved a sigh of relief when i was being told that i had delieverd a boy. You are very true ,a boy is considered as an asset in Indian culture and a girl is treated as a liability.Our culture and traditions are responsible for this differentiation.The pressure of providing adequate dowry is always there on parents.Dowry menace should be checked and stopped seriously by the government because it is giving birth to female infanticide and foeticide.

I think we're lucky where we are. In our culture, all children is a blessing!

OMG!... A child is a child, and will be a good child. I think that every1 want a child... don't think that want a boy because he's better than a girl. no??
