[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in geriatrics. It's the daughters who are caring for the elderly parents. Rarely the son. I only have a boy. I still don't want a girl though. [/quote] I work as a geriatrician and I see this too. Daughters are far more likely to be involved in their elderly parents lives than sons. Parents who only have boys are more likely to be alone/neglected in old age. Certainly there are those who defy this but it is definitely true. It's also true in my own family. My SIL is much closer to her parents than my husband is and I'm closer to my parents than my brother is. Every is close but the ties between the daughter and parents are much stronger. That said, I only have sons. It is what it is! I'm ecstatic to have any kids after dealing with infertility for years. [/quote]
