Dear -Ann Landers: Will you
please say a word in your, column
for all women who have not been
ab>e to produce a btly'' I have two
beautiful little girls and all I hear
Is. "Maybe next time ve)u'11 have a
• son.,,. .
I wish people would leave me
alone. 1 ani perfectly happy with
girls. It would have been nice if i
had had children of both sexes but
it didn't happen that wav and I see
ri()
reason for people to console;
me.. When our second daughter
was born iny, mother-in-law
treated nee as if 1 had let the whole
familydown. Stie even mentioned
it to the doctor. He told her:, that
the male is the orae who
determines the sex of. the child..
not the female, abut she still
behaved as if 1 were the one who
had failed.
A word from You in support ul
the millions -of women who have
produced only' piris would he very
much appreciated.—Mother of
Daughters
Dear Mothers: A worldii who
has produced only girls NF FI)S n)
consel rtiori ; But here's a verse
pat contains more t,I•utti than
poetry: • •
A son is a son until he takes a
wife.
A daughter is a dao zhter---.ill of
her. life.
-As a mother'who had only one -
child, I can honestly say 1'tn glad
it was a girl.
