Wow...good evening everyone and @focusnow.what another sensitive topic.
1: I had prayed for my first child to be a male and God answered my prayers.I know you are wondering...hhahaha..But as an African the feeling is just in born. We can't change it..of course we want someone to take over our legacy..women will always get married and leave the home.No offense ohh...hahaha
2.Education is the key...if parents can get all children educated they will definitely get involve in income generating activities to support each other.
3.I am the second in the family and i would have love to be last because taking care of your younger ones is so challenging at times you sacrifice so much about your family just to make sure they are ok....
