[quote=Anonymous]I totally get it, OP. I was raised by a single mom. We had an amazing relationship. She died 10 months before our first child, a son, was born. I cried so hard when I learned we were having a boy. For me it felt like the end of my relationship with my mom. Fast forward five years later and I'm SO delighted with my boys. (We now have two.) We are every bit as close as I expected to be with a daughter. Boys love, love, love their mamas. (And vice versa!) And maybe we don't go shopping together, but I never did that with my mom anyway. We are now three generations of nature-loving hikers. It's ok to grieve not having a daughter. These are natural feelings. Just be open to it working out pretty great with your boys.[/quote]
