[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what it would be like to be a mother of a girl, so I don't fret too much about it. My son and I have very similar personalities, so we just get each other in a way that is so, so great. We can always make each other laugh and often I will know what he is going to say before he opens his mouth. He is close to DH, too, but in very different ways.

[b]Will we  always be close (he is 10 now)? I don't know. Having a girl is no guarantee of a good relationship later, so I am just enjoying raising him. I have plenty of other relationships that meet my needs for shopping, happy hour and girl talk.[/b] [/quote]

I think this is the key. Your son won't likely grow up to be your shopping, lunch, pedicure buddy, but hopefully you have great friends who will!  FWIW, my dad (who has a sister) took care of all elder care arrangements for his parents. My own mom is extremely close to my brother. I have 3 boys and I'm much closer to one (we just get each other) but love all 3 of mine dearly. [/quote]

The assumptions in this thread really need to stop. I have a boy and a girl, and guess who is my shopping, lunch, and pedicure buddy? My daughter hates all of that stuff, and I'm glad I never made the assumption that she would like it. Treat your kids like the individuals that they are. You might be surprised.[/quote]
