Is it better to have daughters or sons?

I think it's best to have at least one of each. Your son will carry the family name forward into the next generation. Your daughter will be the one who might possibly be more involved with parents lives whenever they get into the golden years.

A son is a son till he gets him a wife, A daughters your daughter the rest of your life.(Author unknown).

The son or the daughter can carry on the family name and either can help out with the parents when they get older. Shouldn't think it would make much difference if you had one, two or more or even none. This isn't the 1950's anymore.
