[quote=Anonymous]I think parents of all girls feel it as well and I think it's normal. I have two boys as well and I definitely had to come to grips with never having a daughter since I knew were done at two. But seeing how close my boys are to one another is awesome. I am close to my brother but not like my boys are close.

As far as old age goes, we'll see. I will say that is one reason why I never gave up my career for my kids. I've always taken 9-5, flexible jobs to be with them but I never stopped working because I want to have a career to continue when they don't need me as much. Then again, my MIL quit her job to watch my kids and she's just as close to them as my mother. So you just don't know how things are going to work out. There are a lot of factors.

I will say, I am glad that I won't have the worries that come along with teen daughters. Not that teen sons are easy, I know they won't be, but teen daughters are a whole different level of worrying (mostly because of teen boys). I am very adamant about teaching my sons to respect women and to stand up for their female friends. I want my sons to be the ones that parents of teen girls depend on to keep their daughters safe.[/quote]
