Would you rather have a Son or a Daughter?

Add your reason why you prefer one over the other.

Son

Daughter

[Anonymous]

well id love my children either way, but I really only want girls when I get older. I feel more comfortable with the idea and ill have a lifetime of experience to help them get through almost anything. plus I want to be my kids best friend. I think it is less common to have a mother be best friends with her son. that's usually a baby thing, like mommas boy, but usually not a "you can confide in me in whatever thing." I think even when you like a parent of the opposite gender more, you can obviously relate more and feel most comfortable talking to a parent of the same sex about certain things more. I liked my dad more than my mom (we argue too much) growing up but there are still things I just can't discuss with my father. and I kind of feel like he doesn't want to talk about those things anyway. lol I want my daughters to feel like they can talk to me about anything. plus girls are more fun in this society - I can do their hair, dress them up, etc. that's sounds like they're my baby dolls but whatever. ill feel the same if theyre dirty little tomboys too. I just want girls. I have names picked out to choose from and its the same there. whenever I look through names for my future children, boys names just aren't as exciting or fun. that's just how I am. ill love my kids no matter what.

theres this scene from a show on hbo I like. the mom sees her son watching p*rn, leaves the room in a hurry, then comes back in and sits on the bed saying "i couldn't pretend I didn't see anything but...you should just know that those breasts are fake, and real women like a little tenderness, sex isn't like that" the kid is just like "omg mom! get out!" or something.

that will definitely be me if I have boys. lol

i think my dream relationship with my kid would be just like Loreli and Rory on the show Gilmore Girls. That would be perfect, but she might have another mom or a dad too.

I like the idea of a daughter in the early years, since I have a niece right now and she's a beautiful joy to be with, though I wonder how complicated things would get once she hits her teens. I understand how having a son at this point can be easier, as many a mother have told me the same thing, so I wonder if I would prefer a son.

What's interesting, though, is how one of my neighbors who has a son was asked by her friends if she would be upset if he became gay. The partly humorous response from the group was that at least she wouldn't have to worry about him getting a girl pregnant.

[gummybear888]

I would love both son or daughter.

I came from a family where my mother was abusive towards me for being a girl, she always called me names and hit me when I was younger.

but it's good I have a strong character, I would never treat my daughter like that.

Right now I'm a main contributor to my family, finished my education, and am not anything like the words my mom called me-girl or boy, both have the potential to do good.

I'm a girl obviously.

[MakeLoveNotWar]

I'm sorry your mother treated you that way :(

Even after suffering through that abuse, it's great to know that you would never treat your child that way. :)

I'd like a daughter, because I know I'd be the kind of dad who would give his little princess whatever she wanted. I'd be the kind of guy who'd happily go with her, wearing my leather jacket and boots, into a toy store or a dress store and help her pick out the prettiest thing she can find. I'd be completely into that. Yeah, she'll be a Daddy's Girl.

Growing up with me, she'd come to know guys like Panheader and Block as "uncle". That'd certainly make for a fun time bringing the new boyfriend around during the teenage years. "Jake, I want you to meet my dad, Johnny, and my uncles Shovel and Cowboy."

Of course, standard rules apply. If you make her cry, I'll make you cry. That's my little girl, after all!

[InMyHeart]

aawwww :)

[Brando]

Son, they're easier to raise. Plus, with a boy you only have 1 penis to worry about. With a daughter, you have every other penis to worry about.

[palek]

Ha!

[MakeLoveNotWar]

I like the way you think!

[Ugliness]

LOL but my daughter will soon be 11 and she is just turned off by that sort of stuff.

So far.

[GreenEyesss]

I will like to have a daughter:) My reasons why because I grew up taking care of my nieces and they were wonderful:) the smallest take care of her sometimes and cuzz of her is the most reason why I want a daughter she is just so pretty she has long hair beautiful smile with dimples I will like to have a daughter so I can do the same things to her let her hair grow and it will be awesome if she will get my eyes take her to the park, get her anything she wants one of this days when I meet my special someone this will come true:)

[MakeLoveNotWar]

Awesome, you're gonna be a great dad! :)

[selfishstars]

I don't have a preference. If I decide to have children, the only thing that I care about is whether or not they're healthy.

I work in a Children's hospital and see sick babies and children every day; it makes caring about the sex of a child seem quite trivial.

[Even-I-can-do-it]

Little girls are just so cute & cuddly. You can dress them up, play girlie games as well as teach them how to hit & throw a ball. The best of both worlds. She would probably have me wrapped around her little finger.

Sadly at age 12 or 14 she wouldn't want to have anything to do with me as most kids but the 1st 10 years would be heaven.

[monifussi]

I prefer a guy. Just the thought of having a fashion crazy, makeup addicted, drama queen little princess sickens me. Of course, I'd love her anyway, but... And I'm not saying she would turn into that. Maybe two or three brothers would toughen her up. Yeah, one daughter and three sons. Sounds perfect.

[dryad]

lol

I tried heels once, couldn't get past the pain, and being off them since.

[monifussi]

Lol

I don't even bother with them, I'm too tall anyway.

[spartanqueen26]

I want both two Daughters and two sons

because kids are amazing and so my daughters would have each other to talk to and become close friend with each other and give each other advice when they grow up

and when it comes to having two sons so they could stick together as adults and as children have each other to play with and stand up for one another! :)

[stevo]

Daughter. I guess since she'll be someone else for me to protect.

[dryad]

+1 :D

I like how you say that with all that country arsenal, and holding what looks like a .44 caliber Remington pistol in your hand. Point that an any hustler intruding your home to harass your daughter and he'll start to wish he was some place else.

[stevo]

It's actually a Cattleman Revolver from Red Dead Redemption. But it favors the .44 cal. But nobody will mess with my little girl! Oh no! Lol...

[dryad]

No, they won't :D

I kind of thought that was a later pistol model due to it's thicker barrel neck body, but I thought that was graphic exaggeration or just a later version of the Remington. Though the Cattleman is part of the Colt family, it still packs a powerful punch nonetheless.

[stevo]

Unfortunately, I know little about guns, but I compared the different revolvers available to the player, and came up with the Cattleman as the closest match..

[xzinax2]

I'd rather a daughter,since I live in a society where I'd get judged and my son would be judged for having a mother that refuses to get him circumcised ,and well I'm not for the whole ''hold your kid down while I cut his genitals'' thing

[MakeLoveNotWar]

Most people really care whether guys are cut or uncut?

[xzinax2]

in my country,it's a custom,and everybody expects you to circumcise your kid,it's a whole event and they give the kid money,i find it a bit sick that they care so much,but what'cha gonna do

[MakeLoveNotWar]

Ah, I see your point. It's like that in my country. :/

[palek]

I'd want a son of course, that way I can make sure he gets a good learnin'. Daughters is all right fer some things, but they just can't take a hard beatin' like a boy can!

[dryad]

"but they just can't take a hard beatin' like a boy can!" <--- LOL. Though I take it you mean a sports beatin' as oppose to disciplinary beatin'?

[palek]

Not even! Sports beatins is fer sissies. I'm talking about learnin how to smarten up!

[dryad]

lalala :D

[palek]

; - )

[Ugliness]

WTF? Why would your child's genitalia mean that much to you? Are you some kind of pervert?

Never mattered to me one bit. OK I have a daughter now. If I had a son it wouldn't have been better or worse. It's the way the chromosomes bounce.

[soleillauren]

I want both, that way a son could carry out the family name. And a daughter so I won't be the only female in my family, and teach her the stuff I know about being female.

[Lupianwolf]

i'd want two boys and a girl

Boys just seem easier to raise, give him a toy car or a games console and that'll kerp him busy for a while

[Olivia9]

I just want a boy first so that it can watch over the others :)

[MakeLoveNotWar]

Ah, true! :P

[HeavenlyEbonyBeauty]

I want a daughter so that (HOPEFULLY!) I can have a great relationship with her like I have with my own mother.

[TyroneJayJackson]

I want a daughter, So then I can protect her. It could be easier than protecting a son.

[Anonymous]

Boys..too much drama with girls,later in life of course.

[diamond3]

one boy and one girl.. ideally it would be twins but if not.. I don't knwo which I want first..

[InMyHeart]

a daughter. that way I can buy my little girl pretty dresses and protect her. she'd be my little princess and I'd call her Jessica :D

[cyrus7]

I would want a son, nothing against a daughter but a son would be much easier to raise lol

[MakeLoveNotWar]

Until he starts to rebel to the point where you just wanna give him a hiding lol

[cyrus7]

Id still pick son lol

[MakeLoveNotWar]

Yeah, same lol

[cyrus7]

it's just I don't think I could take a bunch of horny teenage boys after my daughter lol

[MakeLoveNotWar]

Exactly lol. Quoting Brando, "with a boy you only have 1 penis to worry about. With a daughter, you have every other penis to worry about."

[cyrus7]

yup haha

[Anonymous]

I would want my first born to be a son so he can look after his little sisters, but the rest of them, I want all girls

[Alextricity]

I want three kids. At least one of each, if I'm lucky. I voted son though.
