Had you added one daughter to your family ,your already blessed sweet home would have been much sweeter.(much sweeter seems inappropriate here, is there any better replacement for this?)

Hi,

This English seems acceptable to me.

But why would you want to say this to someone? Is it for a woman who lost her unborn child?

Maybe she had twins - had she had even one daughter... and now she is doubly blessed.

I am saying this to a man, who thinks that sons are better than daughters, in a society where they discriminate between genders.

Hi,
Oh, I see.

As I said, the English seems OK to me.

Best wishes, Clive
