A Woman in modern days takes on as many tasks as men do and infact more. As a baby the challenges which include learning to walk, run, talk, eat etc are the same. Women are challenging men wrt academics and career as well. After marriage, women definitely have a lot more challenges in their hand. Leaving her area of comfort, she not only adjusts in the new place but also slowly makes it her own place and takes in new responsibilities. Considering herself and her husband as one integral unit, she works to own his people as hers, whether or not they try to do the same. While a father is the president of the family, mother is the prime minister :D
Some women continue to build their career with all the other tasks at home, some with help and some without, some with emotional/moral support and some without. Some other women give up on their career to be happily unemployed, considering home and happiness of the home the sole priority. Those who work after marriage and kids, don't do so necessarily because they have to for the family to run. They could also do it because they just want to! And those who don't work after marriage or kids have a lot of good reasons other than the perception that they don't because they cannot.
Women are a priceless gift to mankind. If you have one in your family, look very high upon them. Girl kids are as precious as guys. Don't look to people without boy kids in a pity way. Be ashamed of urself if u have done so ever! Gone are the days when boys stay with parents after marriage and look after them. They are after their own careers, running across the globe and settling down accordingly. If it is destined that u need to be taken care of at some point in time, you will be from either a girl child or a boy child, if the situations permit. Otherwise you wont. Period. Instead of thinking about the future and worrying, the best thing to do is enjoy the present as long as you can!

Girls are sooo so precious! Absolutely..
I agree with you that it's foolish to desire a male child in order to care for you at old age. But I do differ with your opinion in certain aspects (off the main topic). In my opinion, going across the globe pursuing career or pursuing whatever that motivates one isn't limited to boys. And whether that's a girl or a boy pursuing life away from home - it is not necessarily a bad thing. Staying with one's children in old age can be called as a glory of past but I am not sure if that staying together in the past happened primarily at their home base and if it did, I am not sure if that is the way it should be.
I don't think caring for older parents has to be exclusive of pursuing career away from home town. Bottom line - it doesn't matter if it's a girl or a boy, some children are willing to care for their parents as a combined family and some are not and whether it's at the parents home or across the globe doesn't matter either.
After all would you not be happy for your girls to follow their dreams wherever that is and still be cared for if necessary?
I meant combined family not nuclear
Yeah..true, irrespective of gender people are having life away from home.. The reason why I specified about boys is that girls are anyways considered to not stay with the parents after marriage. But with boys in olden days that was not the case. I met a couple of people recently, in their mid forties probably, who have made up their mind to kick their sons out after marriage. I mean, they decided so for a different reason though! They have compatibility fear with their future daughter in law, who ever that might be..
I am not saying that people who don't stay together with their parents, either parents living with children or children living with parents, don't care about each other. Its just that sometimes physical presence gives some comfort. And these days that is a far fetched dream.. I definitely want my kids to shine, pursuing whatever interests them, wherever... I will have the same feeling even if both of them were boys.. Basically I am saying that girl or boy doesn't really matter in todays world..
