My daughter is three years old, and my mother-in-law hinted that having a grandson is very stressful

My daughter is now 3 and a half years old, and most of the mothers in the village who are the same age as her daughter are already pregnant. One possibility is that they will have a baby in the next few days. During this time, every time I call home, my mother-in-law mentions giving birth to a child. In fact, I have also thought that if I have another child next year or the year after, it will be in the countryside. As a daughter, the pressure for her child to grow up is too great, and I also want to add another companion to my daughter regardless of gender, But every time my mother-in-law calls me, she always tells me who in the village got pregnant and the test was for a girl, and then she knocks it out. Is that a hint that if I get pregnant, the girl also knocks it out?

To be honest, I don't want to have a boy, but having a boy and a girl is not something that people can control. The pressure of having a boy is too great. My husband and I worked for a few years and bought a small house at home two years ago. We still have tens of thousands of loans to repay. My husband is in business, and our two incomes add up to 6000 or 7000 yuan per month. Although we are not rich, we can save enough to support our daughter. I want to work for another two years and save some money, If we can conceive and have another child next year.

What my mother-in-law means is to have another boy. If I were to have a boy with all my heart, then my husband and I would have worked for nothing in the past two years. If we had a boy, we would have to earn money and buy a house for him. Although it is said that our son has a way to have a son, those who have a house and a car would have to endure hardships instead of having nothing. It would be better not to have him.

My husband doesn't prioritize boys over girls. He once joked that giving birth to a son was too stressful for him. He wanted to buy a house and a car for his son, and if he gave birth to a daughter, he might even give away a house and a car. Haha, joking, but sometimes I just wonder if giving birth to a son is really that important? I am really a bit afraid of getting pregnant now, afraid of having a boy, and the pressure is too high. Some families in the countryside have given birth to two daughters and are still focused on having a boy. They don't even have a house at home, so I don't know how much benefit it would be to have a son. In the future, if a son doesn't have the ability to grow old, he won't have a place to eat. Sisters, is it really important to have a son?
