Count your blessings

ShaMe on Shona Sibary f or encouraging mothers to ‘admit’ that they love their sons more than their daughters (Mail). She will have enraged many mothers and wouldbe mothers who have either been unable to have a child or have suffered heartbreak in the process.

after suffering a miscarriage and the persistent heartache of watching friends and family announce the impending arrival of another bundle of joy, my husband and I were finally blessed with a healthy daughter, eleanor, born in 2002, for which we’re grateful every day. I feel for Shona’s daughters, and I hope they don’t feel too rejected by their mother and enjoy happy and fulfilling lives. Shona should count her blessings and focus on the joy each one of them brings.
