[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] but I see a difference with how my girlfriends treat their mothers vs. mother-in-laws. I guess there's not much to say, just sad at the moment. Hoping for peace as well.  [/quote]

This is why I also hope for a daughter some day (don't know what #2 is yet).  My son is so fun, and I really love raising a boy, and think I'd enjoy having a house full of boys.  But the thought of some day being relegated to the role of mother in law makes me sad :(.

Of course, intellectually, I know that my son(s) could be gay, or perhaps marry an orphan, and therefore not have to deal with competition from another family...or that any daughter's I'd have would not have a close relationship with me, or that none of my kids would get married, or maybe they'd join the foreign service and raise their family overseas and I'd be lucky to see them once a year.  But I figure in any of those situations, I'd have many years to come to terms with it and mourn the loss of the extended family I've imagined.  When you find out in one instant that the sex of your child does not match what you've imagined, you mourn it all at once.

So it's okay to feel these feelings and allow yourself to process them.  [/quote]
