[quote=Anonymous]I have all boys and all of the same gender can be (in a stereotypical sense) a lot of the same gender. Thus far my kids are pretty similar, so we really try to lean in when we see someone interested in something different from their brothers.

There are times (not so much now with pre-teens and teens, but other times) when I'm a little sad not to have a daughter. I think it would be a great experience for my husband to have a little girl so I'm sad for him too.

And I do worry about the future and what our relationships will look like if they partner off, so I really try to model valuing both sides of our family and my DH is really close with his parents so they see that too. I know I haven't been the perfect DIL, and when the kids were younger I totally preferred my mom to my MIL b/c my mom would actually listen to what I asked of her - but now that they're older if anything we spend more time with my ILs b/c they are quite a bit younger than my parents.

Boy moms should take a lot of notes about what does/doesn't work in their relationship with their MIL to carry with them into the future. [/quote]
