First born...

My 1st born is a girl. She is an awesome kid! I recently gave birth to a son. I didn't care what order they came as long as they were healthy. And both are. I know female children born 1st are just as capable of caring for their siblings as male kids. Because I am a 1st born girl and did it.

Hi,

well, do have your family soon and become a proud father. So far the fist born it hardly matters me. Now I have a son who is 7.1 years old but I wanted him to be a girl baby for now the daughters are more caring of their parents than sons.

I do not blame, however, that sons once they have left home for higher education most of them I have noticed settle there itself and have no time to spare for their parents. It is due to work pressure. But daughters some how manage to drop at their parents home as and when get time.

I have a plan of having 2 boys and two girls. Simply because we are two brothers and one sister. My sister feels that she is missing a sister herself. She couldn't share many things of her life with us which are strickly girlish. So, I don't want my kids to feel such bad feelings.

It hardly matter who comes first but the composition should be the same as I have stated.

Thank you.

I don't really care much as long as the baby is healthy. However, a male first born is more ideal because there already is an assurance that the family lineage will continue. Besides, I think it's nicer to see a boy take the lead among his siblings. But I'm not underesttimating the leadership and nurturing a female first born can give. I was born into a family where a female was the first born and I'm all praises or my older sister.

Hi, My one & only child was a boy and that is exactly what I was hoping for. Boys seem to be so much easier to raise. He's 19 years old now and taking Engineering in college! I stopped at one child because I loved that kid so much that I didn't think I would be able to love another one nearly as much! Is that selfish? My child bearing days are over now & I have no regrets! Good Luck to you!

I wouldn't make any difference to me which child came first. I love kids.
Unfortunately, I have not been so lucky as to father any. Things just work out for me in that regard, due to a short lived marriage...and I haven't had the opportunity since to bring that question into the mix, not matter who I've been with to date.

I am the last male of my family. No one left now to carry on the name. When I go, that's it. It would have been great to have a son, if just for that one reason. But I guess it was not meant to be.

Oh well, such is life.

Hahaha!
My first born is a girl. And when the time came, you don't think about boy or girl. You just want the baby to be healthy.
And that she is.
She will be 24 years old this year. And my son has become 22 this month.

They are great.
But, I guess all parents say that.
Take care, have a nice evening!

For me a baby girl or baby boy will be just fine.I just hope I'll have a boy and a girl.The baby boy will be the strength of the family while the baby girl will be its pride and joy that will give help to the parents during their old age.
So much for wishful thinking.lol!

Hi helscream,
Like you i am still not married so no family of mine as such yet. I would want two children. First one boy and second one girl. Why because in Indian society a boy has lots and lots of roles to play and it is always god for girls if they have an alder brother who can look after them and in case needed can go and beat couple of guys who are trying to harass the girl and in our society if a girl has an elder brother then it is so much good.

when i do get married and have my very own kids... or whichever comes first... hehe... i will not have any preference on the gender as long as my baby will be born normal and healthy. i think it's every mother's wish to have a normal and healthy child.

but actually, if truth be told... i'm praying for twins, one boy and one girl. since i don't know how i would handle pregnancy, i'd rather deliver two babies at the same time than undergo two pregnancies and two deliveries. hehehe i haven't met a woman yet that has told me that delivering a child is easy and that it feels great and comfy. i know motherhood is wonderful... i can handle that. i'm just not sure about giving birth.

but when it comes, it comes... i won't have anything better to do but to give it my all and deliver as best i could. hahaha i just wish there are less painful (or painless) ways to give birth as compared to normal and c-section deliveries. if there is, i won't have any problem at all giving birth to as many kids as my husband and i would want. hehehe
