I sure hope not. My son and DIL, that I love dearly, have one girl. I can't see them divorcing over that.
This thread needs to be deleted. MOO.

Welcome to the US and welcome to the 21st century.
Male heir carries the surname in the US as well. Daughters marry into other families, sons carry on the family legacy.

My DH and I have been happily married for 18 years. We have a lovely 10 year old daughter. We also have spent over $100k trying to have a second child but IVF has not worked. We have lost very wanted pregnancies along the way.
This is tragic but it has made our marriage stronger. We are deeply grateful for our child and each other.
Stop thinking you know anything about anyone other than yourself. JUST STOP.
Now you're the wacko, PP. You could have adopted several children with that kind of money.

Adoption is not for everyone. How offensive of you shove your views down someone else’s throat.
