[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or... inlaws prefer men more than women. The way I've seen and experienced the phenomenon has been 'this wonderful man is willing to put up with my daughter?' and then - 'this meh woman is who my son settled for?'  so of course the man gets along better with his in-laws than the woman. They think he walks on water for existing, and think she's taking up oxygen (even if she's wonderful). I think it's a lot of ingrained deep-seated sexism even with people who know better rationally.[/quote]

Haha...what? I...don't even know what to say about this response. But hope you don't feel that way about your daughters! Most of my friends (and I) have daughters and I can tell you this is way off base, obviously

I will say that I agree with you that mothers of sons, generally those who only have sons, CAN tend to have a "my son is the prince" attitude which does not bode well for relationships with their daughter in laws (and their sons, once they grow up). But there are plenty of counter examples to this [/quote]
