[quote=Anonymous]I kind of wanted one of each, as i was one of boy-girl pair. My brother and I got along really well growing up and are still close. My mom died when I was 28 and he was 24 and newly married. I can tell you that from the moment the doctor told us she was dying, he was right there beside me. He even gave her the chemo medication and cleaned up the vomit so that I wouldn't have to deal with it (risk for women of child bearing age or something...I can't remember). He was and is the best brother. My mom was a single parent and since I was older, I taught my brother when he was in high school how to cook, wash clothes and take care of himself as my mom was often depressed and unable to do these things. He is now the best dad and a very equal partner to his wife. The relationship with my mom was a bit complicated as she wasn't a big fan of his wife, but that was on my mom, not so much on him

I say this to show you how wonderful sons can be. I'm the proud mom of two boys, most likely done having kids, and would be lying if I said there wasn't a tiny bit of sadness if not having a daughter to share some of those mother-daughter things, but little boys love their mamas. Hopefully you can cultivate a relationship that grows with your son and will stand the test of time.

Also, don't hate his wife. That's pretty much a recipe for disaster.[/quote]
