As a parent, would you prefer your first child to be male or female? What are your reasons.

I would prefer my first child to be a female for these few reasons:
•She would learn and guide the younger ones in house hold chores with ease.
•Female children take care of the parents better even after they are married.
•I would have more time to take care of her as my first fruit before the others start coming

What can parents do or stop doing to help the first child shoulder responsibilities?

To ameliorate the burden on the first child, intending parents should be financially flexible enough before venturing into marriage and procreation.

Most of the reasons for the burden on the first is that the parents are not financially stable,for example,Dangote's first child cannot be under any pressure to train or Support the younger ones before the father is well to do.

What is your position in your family? Would you take that position if given a second chance?

I used to be the second,but now I am the first.
I am getting used to the position.I would still like to maintain it if given a second chance(though idon't believe in reincarnation).
