Re: If you could only have one child, would you prefer to have a boy or a girl?that would be an interesting turn of fate. It's kind of funny because many gay kids come from strict conservative homes that prob think like that. Sometimes i wonder if it's nature poking fun at parents and their prejudices.(Original post by sucess)

I wonder what the poll would be if it was a gay son vs daughter. I wonder how many straight guys and girls here would change their tune. -

Re: If you could only have one child, would you prefer to have a boy or a girl?erm..........
I really don't know.
I have 1 girl and 2 boys, and they're all as difficult and challenging as each other. Equally they are all as affectionate and sweet as each other. -

Re: If you could only have one child, would you prefer to have a boy or a girl?Perhaps i didn't phrase it quite right, i think if its a boy i'll have a better idea with how to communicate and get through to him, regardless of what his interests or sexual orientation is(Original post by sotrulybeautiful)
what if he turns out to be gay or if he is straight but has different hobbies and preferences/interests to you? -

Re: If you could only have one child, would you prefer to have a boy or a girl?Well I would like a girl (because face it we all want a mini me).
And I would raise her up to be awesome and to do what she wanted to do, not what people say little girls should do.
And I would make her read lots and think lots and how to take care of herself and I would send her to martial arts lessons so no-one would mess with her and everyone would think that she was the shiz.
However I'd ultimately like one of both. And I always wanted a twin brother so boy/girl twins would be nice. -

Re: If you could only have one child, would you prefer to have a boy or a girl?A boy. I don't think I could deal with the drama that came with a girl XD Plus there are hardly any boys in my family's bloodline, especially on my mums side.

Re: If you could only have one child, would you prefer to have a boy or a girl?That isn't actually the reason for preference of boys. It's because in those cultures, it is at the boy's house that the parents live when they become old. Essentially, if they have a girl, she is expected to go the husband's family and live there, leaving the parents with no safety net in old age. Whereas if they have a boy, the parents can stay with him, and remain in the family(Original post by skotch)
The difference is, children in those cultures are required to do manual labour from a young age in order to help the family make a living, so guys are preferred. Here, we don't need children for that. -

Re: If you could only have one child, would you prefer to have a boy or a girl?A boy to pass on the support of my football team.
Imagine if your son-in-law supports your team's arch rivals and raised your grandson to support them as well
