ProWritersHub (W6) - Should the firstborn child of a family be male or female?!
Prologue
Her opinion
Although many have a specific gender they prefer to take that position, they cannot change the fact that God decides which gender to give. Therefore, any gender that God gives is highly appreciated and accepted, he can give both male/female the ability to shoulder their responsibilities effortlessly besides we've seen instances where the females are doing very well as firstborns.
Both gender has advantages and disadvantages attached with their position as the firstborn
The females
Advantages
- Females as firstborns take the position of a second mother when the mother of the house is not available
- They assist their moms in the kitchen and run petty errands around the home
- They grow up to be the family chef capable of making delicacies for the family
Disadvantages
- Limitation when it comes to physical strength
- Unwanted pregnancy
- Early marriage
- Inability to preserve family inheritance
The males
Advantages
- Defends the family
- Carries the family name
- Preserves family inheritance
- Masculine prowess
Disadvantages
- Inability to carry out domestic chores
- Males are not economical, they tend to spend too much
- They do not understand the ethics of home management
Meet my family firstborn
My family firstborn is a light-skinned and beautiful being in her late teens with the name: PRECIOUS IME SYLVANUS. She resides in uyo with her family, she's a student and at the same time a teacher, she has passion for writing. The girl is an extrovert and loves putting smiles on people's faces but can be stubborn at times.
What's special about Precious is that she's a risk taker and always willing to go extra miles for anything worth the risk, the girl is funny and troublesome,can blend with others very well and very polite. She's a good cook and her family has given her a mantle for that.
Precious has actually helped her family in several ways like
Taking care of her siblings when Mom and Dad isn't around
She helps with domestic chores like doing laundry, washing the dishes, cleaning, mopping, dusting etc and it can be very tiring at times ehhhhnnnnn
She serves as the family chef/cook, I think they should start paying her monthly salary 😏
I can remember when some strangers came to the house when Mom and Dad weren't around, they claimed they were sent to come take some household items, Precious immediately alerted Dad and he came home immediately, this way she protected the family's properties
So who do you guys actually think was just introduced as the firstborn, it's me @precious123 jare. She's the chairlady of the house, someone should give me world cup biko, e no easy.
Parent role in equipping their firstborns
"Charity begins at home", the gender of child does not determine if he/she will be able to shoulder the responsibilities associated with the position of a firstborn. All needed is good parental training, upbringing, guidance and support. Parents should do well to:
1. Train their firstborns against the future: parents should be willing to bring their children up in peace and unity especially the firstborns as they have a greater chance to carry-on the family responsibilities
2. Lead by example: since children are more receptive to what they see, it's advisable that parent live an exemplary life as the children (firstborns especially) will toe their parents line
3. The parents should teach their children to be independent and endeavour to take risks on their own without external influence
4. God first: with God all things are possible, parents should teach their children to be put God first in all they do. Parents should nurture the believe that God who gave a male or female as the firstborn can always fortify them to carry out their tasks
Epilogue
We should learn to be appreciative of whatever gender God gives as the firstborn. Sincerely speaking, we can't kill ourselves for things beyond our reach, all we have to do is do our best and leave the rest to God.
Special mention;
I subscribe to the argument that it is only God that decide which sex should be the firstborn of a given family. God's gift is perfect. I
You're very right, God knows and has reasons for his actions, his decisions are always the best
Nice writeup dear,anyone that God gives is the best and it is not left for us to decide on which one to take.
Exactly, we should always be appreciative afterall no none can create a particular gender
Ogwo we often think that God is unfair because he gives us all of these opportunities, but we still have to decide which one to take. However, we forget that God has given us all of these opportunities so that we can use them as a tool to help us reach his ultimate goal
Some people may have very strong feelings about what gender they identify with and may be offended by the question. The best thing to do is just respect their decision and accept them for who they are.
Yeah, sometimes cultures and tradition do influence people's choice and views on certain matters, we ought to respect their opinions.
I have read strong opinions of people standing on the opposite sides of the argument, nobody has remembered to say how he will feel if they have twin babies of the opposite sex. It is not in our power to say it must be boy or girl. It is God's decision. Ours is to accept anyone he gives us and raise the person well and bring glory to his name.
Exactly sir, you've actually nailed it on the head. Since we can't give life, we ought to be grateful to whatever gender God gives, it shows we're appreciative
You have made a well sounding speech, what you said concerning male is right.
They don't understand the world economic, they always spend much money

This is quiet interesting. See how beautiful you are. Having been with you for a while now you are such a beautiful soul. Always ready to learn. But do you know that I prefer a female gender first. How about it.
Lol, I understand and respect your views, females are actually very wonderful beings and preferring them as firstborn isn't bad
