[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I work in geriatrics. It's the daughters who are caring for the elderly parents.[/b] Rarely the son. I only have a boy. I still don't want a girl though. [/quote]

As the mother of two boys, that's depressing. Not that I had them to care for me in my old age, but when my kids were only hypothetical I always hoped that they'd at least visit.

I agree with that sensible poster way up there - I don't think your child-parent relationship is predicated on sex and sex alone. We're not just the gender we identify as, we're all whole people.[/quote]

It's also bullshit. Gay sons take the best care of their mothers according to my mom--an RN/Administrator of an assisted living facility.

My husband was cutting his father's toenails and sponge bathing him at the end--unlike his deadbeat sister.

My older brother dropped everything to be at my mother's hospital bed.

You have a great relationship with your kids and they will want to spend time with you later in life.  All the kids (including the males) come for the Holidays with my parents because they are such fun, warm and great entertainers.  Even my husbands cousin brings his wife.

If you are an ass or a deadbeat or uptight--yeah- they probably won't want to visit you.[/quote]

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a gay son. 
Visiting is one thing. Making personal sacrifices to be a caregiver to your frail mom is another. It isn't so different from which parent is more likely to leave work to pick up sick kid. [/quote]
