In our society boys are always taken superior from the girls that's y boys have to support their parents.
just suppose if a girl is handling her father and mother in law and at the same time she is also supporting her mother and father how could it be possible for a single lady to support her own family plus her in laws and mom dad? but for a boy it is easy to support his family and mom dad yeah i agree it is difficult. and by the way if boys r supporting thier parents then they r not doing anything bad. they should feel pleasure for doing all that for their parents.

^^ Why can't girls take care of their parents? Is there some law against it? That's prejudice right there. Of course, if an elderly couple has 2 or more kids and 1 or more is male, the male can provide more of financially support and the girl can provide more emotional support, in general. But many girls also look after their parents and in-laws and work at the same time. And I feel that they are doing a commendable job and the parents should be proud to say "She's my daughter" 👏 👏

I would prefer the other way round in the sense its the responsibility of daughter too to look after their parents in old age..........okk if parents stop expecting from their sons that

would the sons stop expecting the property of their parents..........?

Like u said in case of baghbaan too when Big B earned big bucks why were his sons then bothered to come back to him

so if sons dont take of their parents it better that parents donate their properties to some ashrams.

Well said, they SHOULD, luckily quite a few still do, but that far from is the general trend unfortunately.


On the other hand, I do not agree with your first part. Isn't the husband supporting his parents? So why can't the girl support hers as well? We are surely so not into money issues here are we? I can't see why it's such a compulsory tradition that the boy has to support the parents. The girl is equally as easily capable of doing so!

I completely object and hate the idea of making any girls feel inferior. It is so sad.
In China where there is a one child policy most families want a son and often try to get rid of daughters (before they are born even). They want a son to carry on their family names.

sneha, actually the problem is that parents don't like to take any help from their daughters, daughters are always present there whenever their parents need them.. but parents, beti kay sasuraal walay kya sochain gay etc etc...
as summer bhaiyya said, I also don't like the way peoples differentiates between sons and daughters... we as daughters can also support our parents ... why everyone takes daughter 1%less then sons..???

Right on Maheen! 👏

I for one, would never expect less of my daughter than my son. It's quite another matter that perhaps I wouldn't expect anything at all come that generation. But, that doesn't change the fact that, especially in today's world, a daughter is as good as, perhaps more, than what a son could be and provide. Parents that discredit daughters are the only losers really! 🤢

Now guys, what do you think? Why should parents of boys always expect their sons to support them? Why can't they treat their sons just as they would treat their daughters? Why do parents differentiate between sons and daughters? They are treating daughters as sons, educating them, allowing them to do whatever they wish etc, but they are not doing the reverse.
Pls post your views.

Me and my husband are fine looking after my parents and his parents together. I don't think being a son or a daughter excludes you from the responsibility of taking care of old people. One of the couple I know didn't have siblings so they actually decided to live with both sides of the parents.
God-forbid, I would never ever want to be dependent on anyone other than my husband. I feel that all parents think the same. The fact, that they are aging, and don't have much time, they would like to spend as much time with their loved ones as possible. Kids should think the same when it comes to parents.
I am not sure if you have kids, if you do then let your kids bond with their grand-parents while they are alive. I miss my grand-parents so much😭 and can't thank my parents enough for the time I was able to spend with them.

Hi all
You all want the truth so here goes.
Most religions of the world consider it necessary to have a son as well as good fortune. Christianity on the other hand has a twist. A son is not required to go heaven nor is he required to complete the family. However accepting God's perfect son is required to go to heaven, since he is sinless and has paid for all the sins of anyone who would simply believe and accept him as their Lord and Savior.
The role of sons is to carry the line of the family's blood into the future. For example my Dad who had two sons preserves his blood line. If either one of his sons as a son, again the blood line continues. However if both of his sons does not have a son, then his blood line is ended. Daughters cannot carry the blood line. That does not make them inferior however. This simply has to do with how a tree works. Each of the sons of Adam represents the different branches on a tree. When the branch is cutoff (no sons) That section of the tree stops.
Why are some couples cursed with no sons you may ask? The answer is short and simple.
NO FAITH IN THE ONE TRUE GOD. Jehovah.
NO Trust in Christ for the payment of all sins.
NO Love for God to redeem us from all curses.
When a couple puts their faith in God, I believe anything is possible. Do not put a limit on the power of God and he will have to show you his great and powerful love for you!!!
But the will of God maybe that you do not have a son as well. Does this mean you should adopt? Absolutely you should adopt. A branch taken from another tree will still bear fruit on another tree. The child will be your own. Once a child calls you father, you are his father. Just as when you call your Father in Heaven Father, you instantly become a child of the most powerful loving being in the universe!!!
My prayer for you all is to experience this power. If though currently I do not have any children, I know many are praying for me. May it be the will of my Father in Heaven to grant me a son and a daughter. I know I am asking a lot but my Father in Heaven is Loaded!!!!!
AMENNNNNN.
John 3:16
"God gave his only begotten son so that whosoever would believe in him should not perish but shall have everlasting life" My friends let Jesus save you from the Clutches of the devil and bring you the Gospel to bring Good fruit!!!!
