Do fathers get sad when a girl is born in the family ?

Question

are girls inferior to fathers

Answer 1

idiots.do.

man like this should look back at his mother and wife and wonder how would life be without them  

Answer 2

not sad broke

Answer 3

I rejoiced so much for the birth of both my daughter and son. Both have grown to be wonderful people.

Answer 4

I suppose some do.

As for me, although we did not want to find out the s*x of our child beforehand, we had input from 3 grandmothers using 4 different folk methods which ALL said it was going to be a boy. I had totally convinced myself I was going to have a son.

When the child was born and the doctor said, "Congratulations, you have a baby girl" I was momentarily confused as to the girl part. But I was overjoyed when I saw her and have never for a moment had anything but joy at having a daughter these past 16 years.

Answer 5

I suppose some fathers do, for various reasons.  In some cultures, that might be because of wanting to carry on the family name, others because of wanting help on the farm or business, and some because they realize that the birth of the daughter means just handful of years before they go to jail for killing the boy next door for trying to get into her pants.

Girls aren't inferior, just different.  Thank goodness.  

Answer 6

My first child was a girl and was very happy,

ssecond child was a boy. I don't belive it make a difference just as long as the child is healthy.

Answer 7

As far as I know, my dad was very, very happy when I came out a girl.

But can the same be said about mothers?  Are they more wanting to have a baby girl than a baby boy?

I s'pose it all depends.

Answer 8

Only morons get sadden by the birth of a baby girl (who, by the way, are equal to men in every way.)

Answer 9

...i think its selfish for them to think that, but such is life...

Answer 10

I think it depends on the father... my dad is perfectly happy that he only has me and my sister as children, but I think, deep down, there is a basic instinct for a father to want a son to carry on family traditions, name, jobs etc, but maybe in the changing world where women are becoming a stronger force in society, that will change and daughters will become equal. Highly optimistic but.. it could happen.

Answer 11

Nope, because they know their soul still exists within their babes.

Also, girls are in no way inferior to their fathers. Having a perception like that leaves the little girl sad, not the daddy.

Answer 12

I was thrilled.

Answer 13

If I had to give a one word answer, the word would be "no". But there is a duality to a man's emotions when fathering a little girl. #1 Men are very protective of the women in their lives and, by nature, are more inclined to be gentler with the female species. This means that most Father daughter relationships are much stronger than Mother daughter. The reverse is also true. The Mother son relationship is usually much stronger than the Father son side. #2 There is an old stigma that has faded much in American society, but still is very dominate in the rest of the world. And that is the bravado that comes along with a Father's 1st born being a male child. This desire comes from many thousands of years of mating for the purpose of bringing strong workers and fighters into the group. So naturally a son is what every family wanted first so that they would soon have another helper/protector. And it was considered a very good omen for the 1st born to be a male. In 1st world countries this is no longer a "must have" scenario for most families except farmers, but in the rest of the world they still tend to subdue the birth celebrations if it's a girl instead of a boy.

And no, women are not equal to men in every way. On the good side, women aren't nearly as prone to violence towards people, places or things. Rape is nearly non-existent. They usually learn faster.They live longer. They care more about other people's feelings, problems, etc. They can instinctualy give emotional nurturing to children where men are totally lost much of the time.

But on the other side, they aren't as strong as men physically. As females, their priorities towards the family are much different, as they are much more likely to ask for handouts rather than to work hard to support their families. They are quick to see injustice everywhere they look, but usually have blinders on when it comes to any injustices they may perpetrated on someone else. They are emphatic about "equal pay for equal work" and all similar rights, but most often will stand back and let men do most of the hard stuff.

Answer 14

Hello Best

That would depend on culture, but even within culture where males are preferred each father would be different.

In the UK it is said that only a real male can make a girl, so I guess here they are ok!

Answer 15

Come on.

It completely and wholly depends.

Answer 16

Only muppets or those blinded by dogma. Girls are not inferior to fathers, girls are just girls and boys are boys and they are all people.

Sorry I find this a silly idea altogether and a sad reflection of how utterly crass, stupid and divisive some religions can be.

Answer 17

Some do, but for a range of different reasons.
