Reasons why I’m glad I have sons instead of daughters

Nov 4, 2008 Author: User ImageMommyOnTop | Filed under: Family, Home, Parenting

It is but natural for a woman to want to have a daughter - somebody to share her feminine beliefs, manners, and experiences, and to pass on to her style and things.

I, however, am glad that I have boys instead of girls for children. I grew up with four brothers so naturally, my likes are mostly more on the boyish stuff. Also, I read Brett Singer’s post about his reasons why it’s a good thing he had boys, and that inspired me to come up with my own five reasons.

So here are the reasons why I’m glad I have sons instead of daughters.

CHICKS DIG SCARS
Yep, no worries about lasting scars when they fall or trip. Of course, I feel my boys’ pain when they cry, when their wounds hurt, but the worries stop there. I don’t have to think if they’ll still be qualified for beauty pageants when they have scars on their legs and scrapes on their knees. I don’t have to worry if those marks will make them less beautiful or what. The more scars, the more manly a guy looks.

NO BATTING OF EYELASHES
This is one of Singer’s reasons, and we (me and my husband) agree with him. My husband got so smitten over little girls when he saw the movie Monsters, Inc. and fell in love with the character Boo. He’s pretty sure that if ever we have a baby girl, the kid would be soooooo spoiled. And I mean a real princess to Daddy. She’s gonna have his Daddy wrapped around her cute little fingers. THat would make it harder for us to instill discipline to her.

And you have to admit, crying little girls are harder to tolerate than little boys.

NO DOLLS
As I’ve said, I grew up with four older brothers. That’s the reason I see why I’m not so fond of dolls. I saw my girl playmates who dress up their dolls, their moms most of the time making those tiny clothes. I’m not very skillful in sewing, so I’m kinda grateful I don’t have to go through that. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against those who do and can sew. It’s just that it’s one of those things that I believe is not for me.

FREEDOM FROM THE DREADED DADDY-I’M-PREGNANT TALK
This one came from the husband. I suppose that both times I got pregnant, he was praying so hard that it would be a boy. We both knew girls, at one point in our lives or another, who got pregnant waaaaaaay to early. I guess he could imagine how he would feel if ever that happens to our daughter. Obviously, he doesn’t like it. He doesn’t even want to think about it.

NO RESTLESS NIGHTS WORRYING IF OUR DAUGHTER IS HAVING SEX
Again, another one from the husband. I guess no father would want to imagine his daughter having sex, no matter how old she is. Need I say more?

  2. ROFL at 4 & 5. What about if your son did those?

  3. @Dodge, what do you mean what if my sons did #4 and #5? The husband should do well and teach them not to impregnate any of their girls before they come of age. And the only worry I’ll have if my sons are having sex is if they’re doing it right - safely and if they’re hitting the right spots. :))

  6. hahaha. well i have a daughter who i love to death but i sometimes think it would have been easier if i had a boy. its true, i worry so much about scars, the pregnant talk and what bad elements could do to her

    i am also worried that societal stereotypes will affect her. i am very boyish and she has taken on boyish habits and preferences. that’s ok with me but i don’t like it when people say she’ll grow up to be a lesbian. that should be her decision and not the effect of societal dictates on her
