Answer 1

What a sick, selfish family.  Having babies just for PRIDE?

Answer 2

Wow, born at 34 weeks and only 2lbs.!

I can't believe they actually quoted her saying that!  

Answer 3

that is horrible i don't care what their religion or whatever is never should you call your daughter a "burden" that is disgusting..i hate people like that when there are some great people that would love to have a baby girl..it breaks my heart for her daughter too..she did not have to say all that

Answer 4

wow thats crazy and they are so small... i cant belive she thinks of the girl as just another mouth to feed but the boy an king... this is so wierd and being 70 years old and having a baby wow thank god she as other girls to take care of them when she is dead and gone

Answer 5

The thing I find ridiculous is that they nearly made themselves destitute in order to have a male heir. But hang on a minute if they've given everything they've got to have their heir what are they actually gonna give him?

Answer 6

Yes this is true. She wants someone to take along the family name when her and her husband die. Im not saying its OKAY to think your new born is a burden.
