Mothers, on average, tend to show a preference for daughters.
While individual preferences vary, studies suggest a general trend in the United States. According to a report in Reproductive Medicine Online, women tend to prefer daughters, with 70% of mothers who chose their baby's gender opting for girls (Reproductive Medicine Online, 30-Jan-2023). This contrasts with men, who generally show a preference for sons.
It's crucial to note that this is a general trend, and not all mothers share this preference. Factors like cultural background, personal experiences, and individual desires can influence a mother's preference for the gender of her child.
