[quote=Anonymous]I felt this when pregnant, and I felt it a little bit in the baby groups when a girl baby was wearing a really cute dress. But I don't ever feel it now, as a mom of boys. I have deep, rich, individual relationships with my children. There is no way in which I feel like our relationship would be more satisfying if they were female. If anything I feel like their difference has expanded me in a way that a daughter might not. (But I don't know - maybe I would feel it regardless). FWIW, I think the amount of expectation that sometimes women put on their daughters (that she'll be their friend, go to the spa with them, be their "pal" as you put it ) can create a challenging dynamic, at least in the tween years (my kids' age). Looking in, I don't envy some of them.[/quote]
