[quote=Anonymous]These posts come up a lot. I think people fail to realize how much the world has changed and how much the gender stereotypes about girls loving shopping and staying close to their families etc. have as well. With cell phones and face-time there is zero reason to think that a loving family is going to end up closer to their daughters than their sons. My olde son and daughter are college graduates now, and there is no difference in our level of closeness. Our son likes to call because he’s super-chatty like his dad, and our daughter likes to text because she’s an introvert like me, but both kids check in a lot and come home when they can, and that’s true of almost all our friends with young adult kids. You really do need to let go of whatever idealized image of family life you grew up with. That way of thinking does no good whatsoever. [/quote]
