A recent study suggests that mothers tend to prefer daughters and fathers prefer sons.
New research claims that you can be a mama's boy or a daddy's girl all day long, but in reality, fathers prefer sons and mothers prefer daughters.

Some women want a daughter simply to balance the gender mix of their families. Or they want to experience parenting from “both sides”. This desire for a girl (or a boy) baby often runs deep. Many women seeking gender selection have visualized having a daughter since they were young girls themselves.
Dads Prefer Sons And Moms Prefer Daughters, According To Science.
When parents are old, daughters become more responsible than sons. This is because before marriage they care of their own parents and after marriage they take care of their family. Hence the essence of responsibility never dies in daughters. Daughters are more understanding and tolerant when compared to sons.
A recent study has found that it's not the youngest child that's liked the most. It's actually the eldest! While eldest children around the world have had to be the example for their younger siblings and parents being extra strict on them, it looks like there was a good reason.
Dads may not realize it, but they don't treat their sons and daughters the same way, according to a new study. Turns out, fathers are more attentive and responsive to their young daughters' cries compared to their sons and sing more to their little girls while roughhousing with their boys.
Predivorce family dynamics: In most intact families, sons and daughters are closer to their mothers than to their fathers. This does not mean the children and their fathers love one another less.
Who Loves kids the Most: Dads or Moms? Though there is no clear answer, research has found that, in general, fathers tend to be more loving towards their children than mothers. In one study, fathers were found to be more responsive to their children's needs, both emotionally and physically.
Men desire sons for the same reasons that women desire daughters. Some men want the company of their own gender … to share male camaraderie, to do yard work together, or paint the house with, or go to ball games. In short, they want sons so they can do things they like to do.
Plastic surgeons used facial imaging and 3D computer modeling to study the aging process and found that daughters' faces tend to follow their mothers in terms of sagging and volume loss, particularly around the corners of their eyes and lower eyelids.
Of course it has its ups and downs (ahem, the teenage years), but there's no denying that the mother-daughter bond is something special. And now, scientists agree. According to a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience, the relationship between mothers and daughters is the strongest of all parent-child bonds.
“The daughter who has a fulfilling relationship with her father is usually more trusting, more secure and more satisfied in her romantic relationships than the daughter with a troubled or distant relationship with her dad,” she said, adding that this is the case regardless of whether her parents are married or divorced ...

Whilst parents may not intend to treat sons and daughters differently, research shows that they do. Sons appear to get preferential treatment in that they receive more helpful praise, more time is invested in them, and their abilities are often thought of in higher regard.
Daughters naturally crave connection with their fathers, and they especially cherish emotional and physical affection from their fathers. In fact, according to Meg Meeker's research, when girls and dads have a stronger connection, daughters do better in life on a number of different levels.
Parents with two children who admit to having a favourite overwhelmingly (62%) prefer the youngest. Only 30% say they prefer the eldest.
Forty-three percent of parents with three or more children prefer their last-born, with a third selecting a middle child and just 19% leaning towards their eldest.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no scientific evidence that suggests all firstborn daughters necessarily resemble their fathers.
Sons are easier to raise, daughters not so much
According to Parents, gender matters when it is about raising children. Mothers have found girls to require a lot of emotional handling even from infancy. But boys are more easy-going and emotionally stable.
They love their daughter more to give them mental and emotional strength to cater the men's world out there. Its a hidden fear that maybe other man who will eventually come into her life will not give her love as much as they can so they want to fill heart with love before the hard times.
Raising a daughter is like finding a best friend in her. She is still there – listening to you and watching you when you speak or are lost deep in thoughts. Often, out of the blue, she also directs you on various matters. The little girl keeps you up-to-date with the current generation.
