Are daughters burden on their parents?

definitely not! No child is a burden to their parents! Some children are more difficult than others, but it's not a burden for parents. As a daughter, I sometimes feel strangely the same way about me being a burden, but then, If i was a burden, wouldn't they have told me to do something about it and give them peace of mind?

No! for me, my daughter is the most priceless possession im having right now. She is a gift from God and I will never ever think that she's a burden to me come what may. Whenever im praying, i always thank God for giving her to ask and i also ask Him to bless us with one more child. I really love children so much especially when she comes from my own body. I think, some parents may said this because of the problems their daughters gave them, but whatever happened, a child is some one who should be loved by us unconditionally for no one will ever loved them the way they're own parents could do. Good night!

No this isn't a right thing to say. I m the only child of my parents and being a daughter I can say that it is the most wonderful that has happened to me! My parents have cared for me more than I can ever repay them back in my entire life! But sadly some girls are quite not fortunate enough as me. Female infanticides are a common case in some rural villages. But that happens only because of the lack of education and knowledge. People think that daughters are just to be married away and sent to other homes after marriage. They don't even think about the fact that a daughter can care for them more than they can ever imagine! Daughters just need a chance and faith in them to prove that they are the best thing that happened to their parents! I m proud to day that I am a luck daughter!

who said, kick him first......your in the modern world not in ancient. every one is equal in law (so it say and so you have too). any one is burden if he/she can't find own way to live their life style. once we become individually strong to live in the world......we are no more burden to parents.

For goodness sake what a thing to say! I have five children four of which are daughters - why should they be any more of a burden to me than my son. It is certainly not right to say this, and I can't imagine why anyone would think so - girls are no different to boys as regards to how they are brought up and their position in the family.

of course not, daughter or son,are on the same footing with their parents.Gender is not the issue here but the love and care of parents for their kids. God did not make girl or boy a burden to a parent but as a gift from heaven!

no child should be a burden on their parents. I'm a daughter and I'd feel really said if my parents said I was a burden. So tell any child that would be wrong. I'm a parent now and I have 2 sons and no daughters. I'd like to have one in the future if fate allows me to. All kids though can be difficult to raise. People say boys are hard in the beginning but easy later and girls are the opposite. I don't know that yet, but I think all kids need work to raise them. If you feel a child would be a burden to you, don't have one in the first place.

Yes they are, if you live in some backwards patriarchal society where daughters are nothing but marriage goods.
