[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to say something ridiculous that I would only say on an anonymous forum:

Have you ever heard that silly old saying, "A daughter's a daughter all of her life. A son is a son until he takes a wife."?

I worry about this. [/quote]
I hate that stupid saying. I think it comes down to how you treat them as children and their spouse's family values. I am raising my sons to be responsible adults. I expect them to put their spouse and children's needs ahead of mine. I'm raising them to let them go live their lives. I hope to be part of that life. Meanwhile, I have plans for travels, tennis, lunches with friends. In other words, I eill still have a life to live when they're grown.[/quote]

I see you’re in denial. There’s a big difference between the relationship you have with an adult daughter and son. Your son will either never leave the nest and be a loser, or he’ll go create his own family and be a successful man. His daughter will be in charge of all the invisible weather which means her family and friends will be prioritized. She’ll include you but if you cause any problems you’re out.  [/quote]
How did you get all that from the pp? The son is being raised to be competent to support himself and prioritize his family. That is not a loser or an ahole.[/quote]
