Even i believe that the fast should be kept for the children n not for a boy or a girl. I have a daughter and i keep the fast for her. Even the Ahoi mata story which i have says that the fast should be kept by a mother for her children.

I appreciate comments of various mothers on this site. I believe girl/boy are blessings of god and fasting/prayers for our children will always be heard by God. Fasting is optional, Love is essential.

Hi, Basically this fast is for all the children whether boy or a girl.One who has child should observe this fast. In our religious books it is suggested for both the parents to observe the fast.

I observe fast for my only daugher, I really believe that if you observe fast the fast should be for your children, not only for your son. Whatever, you believe, do believe with your heart and if possible do implement the same till you live.

I'm so happy to see that everyone is advocating the fast to be for daughters. i have two daughters and i fast one day a year for their long and happy lives, on this day itself. of course, our festivals are naturally very traditional, and fasting for sons is also a very old thing. today if we keep this fast we should do it for all children, sons and daughters, and not just for sons.

True,this fast should be observed for children and not only for sons.i dont follow karwa chauth as i dont think me staying hungry for a day can add to my husband's longetivity.And the same case in case of my kid.he will get what he is destined to and i will always teach him to make his own destiny through determination and hardwork.this is not to hurt the feelings of those who follow this culture.i cannot fast due to medical complications but its fun to do such things as a part of culture.i just offer prayers and beleive in being a person good at heart.thats enough for pleasing god.

Yes in most of the indian culture always prays for boys why ? A parent should celebrate for girls as well.

When I was in Japan , there was a celebration that occured for children to pay respects to their mothers and I wondered ...... Why not fathers too? I didnot know about this celebration and I am not from north India . My son is my only son and only child and I guess that he is the one who can make me proud . I will do this every year hence forth. I encourage all women of the faith and beli to do it notjust for your sons but for your daughters too. What happened to the woman's seven sons in the story could also have happend to seven girls ..... I guess its in the ancient old Indian Vibe that sons are better than daughters ..... bt those perspectives are changing . As we advocate gender equity ..... these are just some of the small things that you may do?

Why is the fast only observed for sons? It should be a fast observed by mothers for the well being of her children...regardless of their gender.
