Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 57: What gender do you prefer your child to be?
Hello, Steemians from all over the world. Greetings to you all. I trust you all feel good. Today I'll be joining this interesting contest to talk about the gender I prefer most as an aspiring mother in the future.
I thank our moderator for putting up this contest.
It is the Joy of every man or woman to be a father and a mother. That is why, in some families where the woman is not able to give birth, you'll see the woman always in sorrow and pain. Children are gifts from God and everyone deserves to enjoy this gift regardless of gender.
It's unfortunate, though, that some people don't realize this, and that is why you'd see them cry over not having a boy child when they have only girls.
Regardless of gender, let's always be grateful.
Firstly, looking at the economy of our country today, having children is another greater responsibility on its own. You no longer have just one mouth to feed and care for but two or 3 more.
Regarding the more expensive gender, I think the female gender is more expensive to train than the female gender and I have my reasons for saying so.
The female gender makes hair while they cut theirs. And you can't actually compare the price of cutting the hair to making it. Cutting hair could be N500 or 800 for children but you will definitely spend more than that when it comes to making your child's hair.
As a mother who knows how to make hair, the cost will be reduced a little since you only need to buy the materials.
But, as a mother who can't make hair or is very busy with work and the rest, you buy the materials and still pay for the hair. So the price may range from N1,500 6 steems or upwards depending on the style of hair.
Another thing to look at is at the time of puberty, these girls start seeing their menstrual flow, so you would start buying a pad every month. And today's price is very expensive. Some are sold for 800 upwards, depending on the brand, and more than a pack can be consumed in a month.
Another thing to look at is buying undies for them as they will definitely need more than the boys.
You would also buy accessories like earrings, necklaces, and decorative things just to make sure my girl looks good and beautiful.
So girl children are more expensive.
I'm as much as both genders are very important. I would like to have a girl child first. Before having a male child.
My reasons are;
The girl child becomes responsible at home and starts assisting the mother with chores. Though the males can also do this if thought to, the females are much more caring and responsible.
The female gender will more likely become the second mother of the house.
Both genders of children will more likely go out of control if not controlled. The Bible says that train up a child in the way they should go, and when he/she is old, they will not depart from it.
When we properly train our children and guide them properly, they will more likely not go out of control.
When there is a safe environment for the children to speak and air out their fears, and curiosity, then the parents will be able to guide them.
It is very important to maintain a sound relationship with the children so that they will not be afraid of approaching the parents at any point in time.
Both genders have their unique characteristics and can't be compared in some way.
It is actually true that a girl child can also do whatever a boy child can do.
I don't actually think this is a competition in any way.
It's all about getting the right training and both genders can be able to perform any task they want to.
It is said that one can be anything in life as long as one wants to be. We all have the ability and capability to be anything we want to be.
Thank you very much for reading.
I invite my friends @eveetim, @goodybest, and @pandora2010 to join me in this contest.
Children are gifts from God, whichever one you have is great. That you wished for a particular gender and God gave you does not mean that it was your doing.
Male or female, I don't have problem with that. Raising children of any gender is a great challenge, none is easy to raise just like that. You can have money to provide your children with all the necessary things of life and miss out in major things especially home training and the fear of God.
All we should pray as parents is the ability to raise great chicken and not the gender. It's great if God eventually gives you both like me.
Nice content, good luck to you.

You are right ma'am children are gifts from God.

Thank you very much for that wonderful engagement.
I'm pleased to know my thoughts of having a girl first resonate with you.
Thank you once again for your time.
It is God that gives children,,, and which ever gender he decides to give to parent, the parent should appreciate him for that because, they're precious gift from Him (God).
It is very true that training up a girl child is more expensive than training a boy child because, as the grow up, the girl child will be in need of a lot of things such as sanitary pad for her menstrual cycle and proper hair maintenance which is another expenses on it own...
You have written so brilliantly,,, and I wish you all the best in the contest🥰🎉
Thank you so much for your contribution and kind wishes
All the best too.
Welcome 😊
