A female child

I used to believe that we are no more in the era where families don't want female child because they believe they won't be useful to them all because they won't carry on the family name once they get married and also they believe the life of a female child ends in the kitchen. But to my surprise there are still people in this our present generation 21st century for that matter still having this absurd mentality.

I'm bringing you a true life story about a couple who their marriage got ruined because they didn't have female child. From my own perspective I don't think we need to differentiate between a male child and a female child am saying this not because I'm a female but because I believe it's not necessary. Which one is not good? Of course non both male and female are blessing from the lord so why should we be so strict on having male children. This particular family gave birth to five (5) female children and they got to this number all because they are looking for a male, according to them they planned on having only three[3] children. The husband became irritated when the wife gave birth to their second child and it was a female he started complaining and questioning his wife why she gave birth to a female child again and that was the beginning of problem in their home.

As time goes on he let go of his anger and the wife became pregnant for the third time and boom she gave birth to another female child the husband was so annoyed and couldn't control himself and he started misbehaving to the extent that the children started noticing the cracks between their parents. The husband was called and they settled it but he was still not convinced. The woman started managing her home doing everything to please her husband all because she didn't want to lose her husband but the man was not satisfied with this. I kept on wondering what all this stress is all about, he was asked why he is causing this much trouble and he replied " how can she give birth to 3 girls already with no male child to continue my legacy " and he was asked if he is the God that's giving children and what right did he have to complain what if he is barren what would he have said . Many times the wife wept bitterly praying fervently for God to give her a male child but God is a God of plans he knows what is right for individual irrespective of what we want or desire in our hearts.

That's how they continued until their last child who happen to be a female too. The man packed out of the house in search of a woman who can give him a female child but to his surprise the second wife also gave birth to two [2] females that was when he gave up on the search for a female child. In the process of him searching for a male child his wife was the only one catering for their five(5) female children , he abandoned her with the children and to the glory of God she brought them all up to be successful in life. The first daughter became a medical doctor, the second a nurse, the third a banker, the fourth an engineer and the last born is presently undergoing her NYSC in port-harcourt. They are now grand parents but he took him a while before he can come back to his family because he was ashamed of himself and everything he had done to his wife. He is now a proud father and can boost of his children where ever he find himself.

In conclusion

We should be grateful to God once we are able to be called a parent, many people are out there today praying earnestly to God to give them just a child that they can call their own. Yet you were given a female child nd you are complaining. Both a male child and a female child has equal right, what a male child can do a female child can do that also and even exceed what the male child can do then why then are we stressing ourselves instead of praying to God to give us successful children. Don't be an ingrate a female child can make you proud than your wildest imagination.
