Same-sex children not abominable – father of five girls
For some members of the public, having same sex children is considered a “misfortune” or something “unacceptable” and so some people are quick to either call parents who have such children names or look down upon them.
But no couple has control over what God has predestined.
The situation is more terrible for couples who have given birth to only girls compared with those who have all boys.
This has even led to some couples having more children than they initially planned in their attempt to have a child of another sex to avoid public ridicule.
“Some people claim that it is only womanisers who give birth to only girls” Mr Prince Debrah, a father of five girls disclosed this in an interview with The Spectator on Wednesday.
He said some people were quick to pass unpleasant comments and constantly criticise such couples “as if it is their fault to produce only girls”.
“I am sure before any couple got married they didn’t know whether they would have all males or all females or mixed children ” he said.
Mr. Debrah who has been married for 16 years said it was sad that sometimes people even verbally attacked the girls and made them feel they were not part of the society.
He said that such constant criticism of couples was a form of emotional abuse which the public must desist from.
He said some men had divorced their partners or shirked their responsibilities as fathers because of such unpleasant comments from people.
The 48-year-old man encouraged couples with same sex children especially girls, to see them as a blessing and work hard to educate them to become responsible citizens “because what a man can do a woman can do it better”.
“I have decided to give all my five daughters good education to make them know that they are a blessing to my wife and I as well as the society so they should take their studies seriously and give of their best to make every family member proud” he said.
