So if you are to choose for your own family, would you prefer male or female first

Either way is good for me. Good evening all.

If I am to choose for my own family, I will prefer female first. Because I experienced the care and support of a female elder sibling. It relieved me of early home chores and duties. And I guess she as a female did them better than a male could have.

I have a male as a first born, and i enjoy him so well, he is already helping me with some chires though a times i will send him to do something and he will tell me no, sometimes he comes back to do it and sometimes he will not,i take that as childishness becausehe is still tender....so the way you train your children matters a lot

Thank you so much for your opinions. Women play a big role in the family. How do you handle some the difficult tasks at home which it would have been easier for the male child. For example, financial responsibilities

Most families now are been taken care of by the female child. Female children nowadays are the breadwinners in various families.

If I was given a chance to choose among the 2, I would last child because majority receive all the love and care from their elderly ones.

For me, I'd love my first child to be a female oh. These make children nowadays get stubborn on time and refuse to help parents due to the mentality of superiority instilled in the current world about male.
On the other hand, a female child can be subjected to homely duties at an early stage. This will also be a relief to the mum whenever she is ready to have more children. The first female child will be available to help.
Although some male children are useful in this aspect, generally, female adolescents appreciate their roles as upcoming mothers and practicalize it while staying with their mothers

These is a lot of sense in what you said. I would like to know your position in your family now?

Thank you.
I am the second child in my family and the only male child.
You know that comes with a lot of assumed responsibility
And it's intensified now due to the fact that my parents are no longer alive. I have to play the role of a father in most cases.

For the second question i would prefer to be the last child

If I was given a second chance to choose, I would choose to be a male child anyway, 😂. The society and the scripture sees being a man as a privilege. Although females play a larger part in the home and domestic roles, the men are seen as the head of the house and that alone is a criteria to be honored.

Good evening everyone. I’d prefer the female gender which I already am. Women are amazing creatures designed and embodied with qualities that makes them unique from the males.
If I were given the chant, I’d prefer the last child again.

To me, any gender is welcome.
What I believe is the manner you train the child.
Like I was told, my mother trained all her kids both male and female the same.
All of them are responsible and hardworking.
As for the second question, I will come as the last born over and over again.
I love my position in the family.

You are making sense in your answer. Good upbringing helps everyone in the family. But I have seen some parents prefer the female child first because she could help with domestic work. What do you think? Are you currently the last born now?

Even in domestic work, its the responsibility of the parents to train the kids on how to do them.

Thanks for your input @uzoma24. The male child does some great work for the family if he is first. But do you think they also do domestic work well? For example cooking

@focusnow thank you for replying.
A male child can do anything you train him to do, for example, an the first child, and I was groomed on cooking while I was still young and I did help the family in that capacity

Submit
Ok, what if the reverse becomes your case
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Male or female, am ok. When properly trained a male child will render same help a female child will render at that early stage. The same thing applies when both are grown up. If a female child well established at an adult stage, she will contribute reasonably in training her younger ones. The key thing is training & helping any available one to become well established.
For the second question, I will like to be the last born with a cooperative older ones. I said cooperative older ones because if the elderly ones are always quarrelling, having dispute & doing things differently, the last born will not really enjoy them

Interesting, weather is a male or female child, the cord is the training because at the end of the day, who ever that wants to be bad, will be bad but parents should play their role first in the upbringing

Good evening everyone and welcome to the programme Talking Point Tonight. I am @pato84. And will be reacting to the question with some salient points.
Let me begin by saying this, the first child in every family be it a male or female is saddled with huge responsibility. He or she is looked upon as the rising sun of the family and of course if the mother and the family are not there, he /she assumes the parental position. So as a matter of fact if the first child is a male, he plays a fatherly role in such a given situation and if she is a female she plays a motherly role as well.
Considering the vital, indispensable , irreplaceable role of a male child in the family setting especially when it come to FAMILY CONTINUITY which has always been the bone of contention and the key factore for loggerheads in the family, I would prefer the MALE SEX However it does not in any way negate the fact that the female sexes are of great importance too neither does it in any way demean their contribution in the family. I am the third child in a family of eight siblings. Sometimes there are things that will happen in the famlily I would wish I were the first child even though our first child is a male especially when it comes to decision making and inheritance in the family.. On the other hand when I consider the responsibility that behoves on a "REASONABLE &SENSIBLE* child that is a male it frightens me. Some first male child sacrifice their education, enjoyment and even delay their marriage just for the sake of their younger ones

The idea of feminism and gender equality is gradually getting negative and out of hand in our society. Women are gradually refusing to acknowledge the responsibility and headship given to men. That is why most females feel insulted when people tell them that women can't do all the things a man can do.
I would always choose to be a male child if I am given the opportunity again.
It comes with responsibilities but those responsibilities bring joy and satisfaction when they are carried out properly. Even in True Christianity, only men were given the privilege to teach members of the congregation during worship periods. That is why women cover their heads when they teach others if a man is not available.
Males are respected because of their endeavors and abilities too.

Feminism is a bad ideology. Anyone that sips it line, hook and sinker vomits rubbish without knowing and is a problem to herself.
Regardless, no child is a waste, I have seen women that have made history and broke world record just like our own Ngozi Okonjo iwuala and Obama's wife. Just like my mum and sister, all woman are very important and relevant.
But on the subject matter, for many reasons, I will want my first child to be a boy, girls can come in subsequently, but I will Enshure all get (evenly) the necessary support and training/education they deserve so as to complete favourably out there with their mates.

As a father I prayed that my first child should be a male and the second a male too whereas my wife prayed that the first should be a female and the second a male at the end of the day God gave us the first a male and the second a female. As time went by when we sit down and begin to analyze why God did it that way we arrive at the understanding that. God designed the male to head the family while the female will neck the famlily and the two sexes are indispensable in the family setting. Imagine what will be the fate of the head without the neck or what the neck will look like without a head sitting on it. Invariably, I will conclude this point by saying "NO HEAD, NO NECK AND VICE VERSA"
There is nobody who will see a headless neck or a neck-less head that will not run . Most families that is solely made up either of sexes while lacking the other is not always happy to the fullest and at most times do feel incomplete.
Because if it all female. The fear of the family name going in extinction is there and that of who will occupy the family inheritance is also there.
The females will all marry and go to their husband's house with their names changed.
