Hubby: Dear, you sure you do not want any more children?
Mommy: Hah? Don’t tell me you still want?
Hubby: You don’t want girl? Girl can help you around the house.
Mommy: Of course I want but I think 3 is enough lah dear..if we try next time and boy again, how? Enough lah ok?
Hubby:Ok…but having a girl around sure fun dear.
Mommy: I know but I don’t think I can cope anymore dear.
This conversation happened few days back and this is not the only conversation I ever had with hubby regarding the matter but when I was pregnant with my twins previously, he has assured me that will be the last pregnancy for me and we both agree on it.
But being pregnant is not the issue here. I just wanna make a point here that NOT having a girl is not that bad. I’m happy with my three lovely boys. It doesn’t mean that boy will not know how to do house chores as they can be trained and I believe training them in their early age is better than later.
I just started to train Josh to help me in washing dishes and their milk bottles. How did I started it? I pretended that I need his help in washing and show him how to do it. My intention in the first place is actually not to train him but to distract him from disturbing his brothers while they were sleeping but Josh has adapt easily to this routine. Whenever he saw me in the kitchen, he will quickly join me.
Then I realize something, if I want to teach Josh the basic (helping around the house), I should start now. But, I also would like to ask mommy out there who has experienced in this, what is your opinion/suggestion? I would love to know 
Josh helping me washing their milk bottles!
and this, helping me washing the dishes. So hubby dear, boy also can help me around the house and we definitely do not need the Delta machinery either.
My experience having two girls oso still like having two boys around ..emm but as wht u said have to train/practice them from early age. Boys & girls are the same nowadays ..
Oh so cutenya Josh helped you out. Serious lagi tu dia cuci2. *hee*
I read that kids at that age like to be involved in things the adults do. So maybe what you did have stimulate his interest and that he feels appreciated that way.
Bagus juga tu. Next time ndak payah suruh2…dia sendiri mau buat.
same here, i want girl but not dare to think of pregnant again!
well.. i have a boy and a girl, both of them help me a lot of course after they had helped me… i have to praise them then they will do it again.. biasalah.. but its just a matter of discipline..
I think what you’re doing is right which is to stimulate his interest and the same time helping you out
So keep it up! And yes, I agree, boys can help out in the house too…when we were much younger (many many moons ago hee), we siblings esp me and my big bro had our shares of house hold chores…at night my big bro and I will alternate wash the dishes or clear the table & sweep the kitchen after dinner. And once a week I will clean the lower part of the house while he clean the upstairs rooms. Besides that, we need to iron our own school uniforms and wash our own school shoes too…my two younger bros were having better life tho coz we (well, it was more on me)had to do all those stuff for them….hmmmm…so lucky aren’t they! ;p So yes, boys can be trained too 
We used to have a neighbor many years ago whose hubby had wanted a son in the family, but the wife kept “popping out” girls. After 6 tries and all of the babies were girls, they gave up. LOL. Poor thing also la..
Josh so cute lah, pandainya tolong mummy dia cuci bottle!
I think boys can be trained like girls too. I’ve seen a lot of families who only have boys, and they’re very much a good helper in the kitchen. Sometimes, even better than the girls! 
@Cay –

@cindy –
cindy-that yang I takut..nanti pregnant dpt boy lagi..nanti end up a football team hahahaha
If PapaJ want another child, he may have to wait until the other grown up a liitle bit but actually, it is up to you to make decision, right?…Josh are so clever…already helping out his mom…my sons is helping us on putting their dirty clothes in the bucket to be wash…child need to be taught discipline from their early years…that’s what I learn fro my parents….
