Which do you prefer, son or daughter?
Haha, this topic is something very interesting to me. Firstly i must say that i have no children and my very own personal opinions are going to be shared in this post.
I dont have any intentions of having kids at this moment or anywhere near the future. Many reasons for it and most of them are quite personal to share here. So i saw this debate session on the lets talk show in Vasantham central. Geesh, the aunties and the few uncles were all talking on the issue mainly because their having a son or daughter. Why didnt the programme co-ordinator bring in ppl who have not yet have any kids and ask them too whether they would prefer which. Well, when i was talking to my sis, she asked the fatal qns of which would i prefer and i immediately told her i prefer my dog….. *winks* Her response to that was "wrong qns asked to the wrong person" Lolz…. Well,i dont have anything against kids and seriously i dont if i’m really heartless or what but i have lotsa difficulties relating with another kid. You can even ask my sis. I cant really like ahem that kinda kid relationship with her son and she knows it too. But i try my level best to get to know him and mingle with him. Cos i’m his preiyamma!!!! Anyway, having a son or daughter doesn’t really matters that much i guess. Even if i do want to have a kid (if that happens, my sis will tease me to hell) i guess i will opt for a daughter. Maybe becos i can have a friend to hang out together and have lotsa stuffs done together. But then that’s an individual thinking you see.
Having a son or daughter doesnt determine whether you’re going to be looked after well when you grow well. Even though, you think that you’ve brought up your kid well, that doesnt give you an old age insurance stating that he or she is going to look after you.(For those parents who have kids looking after them till the end of days, i can say one thing, their gifted.) Because as the child grows and sees the world, the kid can change into someone, maybe for the good or the bad. We wont be able to know how things take a course of its own. Well, all i can say is that we should not depend on our kids to look after us when we grow old. In this age, its all different. We have to werk till we’re old(unless of course you’ve got family wealth that you can depend on). But trust me, Singapore is becoming a very expensive country to live in…..
Well, like i said in the beginning, it depends on the person or the couple that wants to have the child. Because nowadays, the daughters can also look after their parents even after marriage.Its all based on how we talk and come to decisions.
