eman, the person who said that to you was a fool. Didn’t Naomi tell Ruth she was better to her than ten sons? ANY HEALTHY baby boy or girl, is the biggest bracha in the world.ASk anyone who does not have a healthy child R”L. And though it’s true the boy carries on the family name (and also is the kadish’l), the girl is the one who potentially carries the future generations in her womb.
You know what? People have to learn to zip the lip sometimes.
