Which kind is the best

Hot 3641 views. 2015-8-10 22:38 |Individual Classification:Life| yesterday, because, family, mother, friend

My friend gave birth to a girl yesterday. Congratulations to her. Her family also feels very happy that they have son and daughter finally. Before that, my friend worried about it would be a boy, because she has a son with 3 years old, she wants a daughter. Now it’s what she wants. So many people said she is lucky mother. It’s the best to have a son and a daughter.

 

Somebody said: if you have two kids, but not the son and daughter, it’s also happy. If you have two daughters, you have two pieces of cotton padded jacket, warm and very close. If you have two sons, you have two patron saints, brave and make you feel very safe.

Actually, son or daughter is your own flesh and blood. Not much difference. In past years, every family wants a son to carry on the family lineage, but this has changed. Quite a lot of families are content with having a daughter only. Both a son or daughter have to struggle for a living when he or she grows up. Quite often it is the words of relatives or friends which affect our thinking on male or female.

Don't forget that there is a serious gender imbalance in China. There are too many males and insufficient females. Having a daughter is like having a diamond and a son is gold.

Love your words very much. It's my first time to hear that “having a daughter is like having a diamond and a son is gold", very nice. How come you always seem to know what to say in point?

I want to know you said “son or daughter is your own flesh and blood”. Did it come from a Chinese saying?

Nowadays, many Chinese people seem to change their thought. They claim that having a daughter is likely to own a Commercial bank. It hints money flow in. having a son is likely to be a Construction bank because you need save a lot in order to build a house for your son to get marry.

I reckon having two daughters are far better. Own two Commercial banks, no one can resist it.

Yes, The Chinese version is:
Your son or daughter is your own bone and flesh.
So I changed it a little to;
Your son or daughter is your own flesh and blood.

Oh I don't know why it is so easy to tell you those things. It just popped out from my mind. ''Daughter is diamond, son is gold'' is really my original thought and not copied from somewhere. Anyone else using that would have come from here. Now you know what to say to those irritating people.
