sons and daughters
My sis-in-law (hubby's sis) has successfully delivered a son, after 2 daughters. Age was on her side when she decided to try for a boy. It seems to be the season for baby boys now as my colleague delivered a boy after 2 girls.
This makes me wonder, what if the 2 mothers already have 2 sons, would they try for a girl?
To me, it is a family's loss if it has no daughter. The son is merely for carrying down the family name , if one is a chinese. But a daughter will be there for you (at least I hope mine will be) even after she is married. A son will be yours until he gets married. ( that should be the way?)
Correct me if I am wrong?

Agreed. I'd LOVE to have girls! That being said, although I have two boys and age is on my side...I'm still too chicken to try for a girl. Because it's all 50-50.... it goes either way!!!!!!! Although each child is a blessing no matter the sex...I'd definitely pengsan if it's another boy!

No kids. No comments.
Then again, if you're lucky enough to get healthy children, you should just be grateful.

The general consensus is that it's better to give birth to a piece of cha siew than baby boys or girls. :D

My sisters and I are all very close to our mum. Our husbands get along well with her and love her but like my husband always say, "Your mum is a wonderful lady."
My brother's wife is also very closed to my mum and whenevern my mum stays with her when she is on holidays with them (sometimes up to 6 weeks), my sister-in-law always cares for her like her own and dotes on my mum.
I think it is all a matter of what one's daughter-in-law is like, how one's daughter is going to turn out and lastly, what we are as mothers and mothers-in-law. There is no knowing. :)

I disagree.
Whether boy or girl, it really depends on their character whether they are close to their parents.
That is excluding a 'special kid', a kid that had chosen the wrong path, a kid that had runaway from home at age of 12, ....
It is a 50-50 chance that it will fall into the category of MR william 'char siu' problem
