Since ancient times, men have gravitated more towards sons than daughters. The root cause of this behavior is the fear for the future fate of the clan and heritage. The fate of the boy-prince is to become king, while the girl was infringed on her rights, being given in marriage according to an old agreement.
Now there is a new time in the yard, but old traditions still live in the male subconscious. The father does not always have an idea of what to do with his daughter, how fun it is for both of them to spend time with her. The man has the impression that it will be easier for him with the boy, since he himself was the same once. If a man firmly stands his ground and does not even want to hear about his daughter, one should not succumb to surging feelings. Resentment and anger are not the most faithful advisers in matters intended for common sense. Before you quarrel and vent your emotions, you need to understand the essence of the problem and eradicate it.
Cause
Most often, the problem is in the most prominent place, originating from established customs and traditions. There is an opinion that fathers love their daughters, and they are proud of their sons. Often a man wants a boy more than a girl because of the lack of realization of his own childhood desires. For example, a husband loves to play football, but regrets that he didn’t take it professionally. In this case, the son is able to fulfill the father's dream, unlike the daughter.
When a man imagines a pastime with a child, his imagination draws pictures that are cute and familiar from childhood - fishing, football, playing with balls and cars, climbing trees. It seems that the gentle little girl does not quite fit into this kind of activities.
Stories that all children are different and everyone's favorite activities are also different usually lead nowhere. It is almost impossible to prove to a man that a girl can love football, and a boy is a doll.
Actions
A man is not able to change the formed opinion, based only on words. Life examples are needed, such as a picnic in nature with friends raising an adorable girl, watching a daughter and father play, or talking to a happy dad. These behaviors can change a man's idea of raising his daughter. The role of a woman is to help comprehend what she has seen and heard, to explain that the girl considers her dad to be an ideal man, tries to please and imitate him in everything. It often happens that a daughter chooses a father's profession, in which she achieves considerable success.
Nothing is impossible, it's just worth stocking up on time and patience.
