[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the child, not gender.  My MIL and I have a good relationship.  Her other son, who lived near her, basically abandoned her when she was starting to get dementia.  My husband was supportive, but I am the one who choose to move her here and be her caretaker for 9 months in our home prior to getting her into a nursing home.  I do all her shopping, manage her finances, visit weekly and make sure everything is kept up at the nursing home.  The bigger issue is who they marry to me.

Oh goodness I hope I get someone like you as a DIL!  You are doing a wonderful job![/quote]

I want you as a DIL too!  Mom with two boys here.[/quote]

This is why moms of girls feel sorry for moms of only boys. Moms of girls are not currently hoping for a wonderful dil like you guys are, obviously already worried about your future relationship with your sons. Moms of girls have the luxury of not worrying due to our culture of "a son is a son until he takes a wife, a daughter is a daughter for life."  They may be blindsided when their daughters grow up and defy cultural expectations, and you may be pleasantly surprised when your sons do too; or not. You won't know for 20-30 years. It is what it is. And I don't like worrying about things I can't control. I'd rather enjoy the beauty now.

So just by having a girl you are guaranteed a wonderful relationship with her? News to me.[/quote]
