Having no daughters but two sons I cannot say with any degree of certainty whether daughters are better than sons. Both my father and my mother loved my one brother more than their daughters, although they both love me very very much, so from that I surmise that people in general prefer sons, my parents not being unusual in any way, and this seems the typical way of looking at things.
My sons are not particularly expensive, other than growing like weeds when they were younger so needing constant replacements of clothing and especially shoes. Their education is expensive but that would be the case if they were female, no doubt, and worth every penny. Feeding them is no doubt more expensive than feeding girls, as the older is 6'2" and the younger 6'4", both very broad shouldered, big boned, big footed, just big, and eat us out of house and home when they come home. The other big expense is games, but my husband mostly buys the games.
I suppose I think of Jay as an older version of one of my sons, only less polite.;^) |
