[quote=Anonymous]61 year old mom/grandmother here with my 2c... I have 3 boys - now full adults (29, 31 and 34), 2 of them married. In the past 34 years of being a mom, I can absolutely assure you that those dreams of the mother-daughter relationship being somehow "better" has not been accurate in my observations. It is completely personality specific. I am WAY closer to my boys than many of my friends and their daughters. And, both of my daughters in law and their mothers. All my sons are completely open communicators. I think the trick is parenting. Never stop talking to them, asking questions, etc. By the time they are teenagers, they won't know that isn't the norm. Do NOT assume that, just because they are boys, they are incapable of being good listeners, etc. As many have also said, the joy of watching your sons be best friends is priceless. What a gift! There is a great chance one of your sons will very close to you, fun, no-drama and always willing to talk to you, his mom. [/quote]
