[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many women keep closer ties with their families of origin than women do. Some mothers try to resist their sons pulling away but the same dynamic doesn’t exist with the daughters because the daughters are always there. The old saying rings true: a daughter is a daughter for life; a son is a son until he takes a wife. [/quote] Except it's completely different in Asian or eastern cultures. Women were raised to leave their families and join a new family under the direction of their MIL. Men were sons for life. [/quote] This was true of many European Americans too but WWII propaganda changed that. There was a concerted effort to break the bonds between mothers and sons to get men to go to war. If you watch old movies and read old books, you’ll notice that the American flags of fallen soldiers went to the mothers not the wive, and the grieving mother was the one people fawned over. [/quote]
