Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 57: What gender do you prefer your child to be?

When a woman is pregnant, there's always great happiness between the two parties, but guess what? In as much as there's great happiness, there's always a debate on which gender the unborn baby would be. This has been one of the common debates in different households.

It's true that both male and female children are crucial in a family and both deserve to be cherished. Both genders have their advantages and disadvantages, but despite this, there's no gift more valuable than a male or a female child in the world because, in the future, if well trained, they grow to become the family provider.

Since both genders are all important, it's difficult to choose which is expensive to train, and so on. Follow me up as I choose my preferred gender based on experience.

Both genders are crucial, but I believe that a girl child is more expensive to train than a boy child. Yes, you heard me right, girls are expensive to train with the following point of view.

Girls children are greatly expensive to raise when considering clothing and other accessories; girls can't live without beauty or skincare products such as skincare, nail care, hair care, and more, while a male child doesn't care about that stuff.

Now considering clothing, girls love shining on people's eyes; for instance, sewing an outing outfit comes with different types of designs that are more expensive than boys.

Girls are considered the weakest people, for the extra care and attention required to make them better people. It takes time and energy to nurture them.

As I'm growing to become a parent, I want to experience both genders because I want to know what it looks like to parent a boy and a girl.

Having a male child is a pleasure and a blessing because they're the strongest people in the world. Male children become the future of the house if well trained, for instance; they become the breadwinner and inherit their parents property with boldness.

A male child is easy to raise because they grow to become independent at an early age; this relieves and reduces costs of a living to the family. Male children as well can quickly secure a good job and support the family in one way or another.

Meanwhile, female children are also important to have as kids in a family; they're lovely and cute, they have a soft heart, and they're emotionally connected with their parents—what a lovely trait.

When it comes to handling things in the kitchen, God blesses female children with special strength to handle them effectively.

You can see that both males and females have their place and duties in the family; it'll be difficult for a male child to learn cooking; the same thing is applicable to a female child; they find it difficult to do the man's job. So having both male and female in a family and placing them in their right places brings peace and happiness to a family.

This is difficult, but in my opinion, I believe that boys show tendencies to go out of control more than females; this is based on the environmental influence. A male child who isn't spiritually fitted can easily be influenced by people around the neighborhood.

Talking about the school environment, as the case may be, male children are highly infected by the doing of the bad ones; it's rare to find a non-infected male person in the school compound because the urge is always difficult for them to reject.

The phrase "what a boy can do, a girl can do it better" is a common word we hear in almost everyday life, and it's a kind of competitive statement. Honestly, both genders have their unique strengths and capabilities in doing things differently; a male child may have the strength while a female child brings in ideas; together, they both can achieve great goals.

What I mean is there's no limitation on what these two genders can best do better; both can operate their tasks differently and effectively if they're determined to do, so take it home that "both male and female are better in different aspects." Thanks for reading.
