daughters

It is a long time since I posted on this blog.
When they showed me my new -born daughter, I was in pain and the anasthesia had left me fuzzy and depressed. The first thought that came to me was "Oh my god, she too will have to bear this pain" and for that reason, wished she had been a boy.
Maybe mothers are a little tough on their daughters as they want to toughen her up for the painful experiences that she will have to go through. I don't mean that men do not have painful experiences, but in addition to the experiences that all human beings have, most women have a few more of the unpleasant kind.
