So What Happened?

I didn't ask this question to offend anyone. I love my girls to death! When I got my 6 girls i always consider them a blessing it don't even bother me that i don't have a boy. Matter of fact I always wanted 4 girls and god bless me with two more unexpectedly. I just ask this question because when I tell people I have 6 girls they ask me what have I done to be curse. plus some even ask me if i'm going for the boy, but i'm through with making children. So i'm not asking the question to be funny. I know my children loves me and I love my children dearly I raised them up the best way I know how. I am a very respectable woman, I don't have my children to please no one.

All children are miracles. Many people can't even have one. So, no. But this is a joke question, right?

E.,

Do you love your girls? I would say this is a blessing, not a curse. If you love your girls they will return that love your whole life. Boys are a blessing too. No more, no less. Treat those girls like they are a blessing and they will be.

You may wish you had a boy too for a number of reasons. It's okay to admit that you would have liked to have a boy too, but don't let that take away from your girls.

I only have boys and having a girl would have been a delight......but I adore my boys, and they are my delight.

here in America, girls seem as equal as boys in most cases. I have a boy and girl and am hoping the number I end up with will be the same number of girls and boys. I hear that in some other countries and for sure in the past, that boys were much more wanted and would be heirs. I am so glad I was not born in that time or country because I would have felt unwanted by my parents.
Is there such a thing as curses? I H. no child has to ever grow up to think he or she is a curse!
I am not trying to be rude or hurtful, I'm just trying to figure this out.

People are not serious when they ask you that question about the curse. They are probably shocked that you have 6 children, first of all...that's a lot in the U.S. Secondly, it is unusual to have that many and all girls so people think about when they are teenagers with hormone and mood changes and then make a joke about the curse. Thirdly they assume you have so many girls because you keep trying for a boy, not that the boys are better and girls are a curse. If you had 6 boys people would ask you if you were trying for a girl. Don't get upset about this....you are truly blessed. I have 2 beautiful girls myself.

Well, if you believe in the God of the Christians and the Jewish people, then you have to believe that children are a blessing from the Lord. All children, regardless of gender. Read the Book of Proverbs in the Bible if you want to know how God feels about children. All girls or all boys is not a curse, but if you have a harder time with one gender of children than the other, it may seem like a "curse" to you.

I think it is a blessing rather than a curse.....God's plan for us. Also, see how much cheaper and easier it is to care for when you already have the clothes and other essentials from previous siblings.

A blessing.....and perhaps a miracle at best!

Hold your head high, my friend! People say cruel things, don't they? The next time someone asks you what you did to bring a curse of all girls tell them to shut their mouths! Tell them they have no business calling your little blessings a curse! :)

No! The father's DNA is what determines the gender of the child -nothing else.
